As Vaughan continues to mature, the benefits for a station at Jane & Major Mac are becoming increasingly stronger. Yes, it would be at its ridership peak during the summer months, but Wonderland continues to shift closer to a year-round destination. Last year, the park was open between May and...
I agree with what jmi22 said. The Eglinton East (EELRT) is a good project, but when you look at the cost-benefit of what the project will deliver, you will recognize it will bring localized benefits rather than regional building/ connectivity.
The city will prioritize the Waterfront East...
"By the end of 2024, we'll have a clear construction schedule" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I could be wrong, but I don't think they have released any materials outlining project timelines. If anyone knows anything, I'd be super interested in learning.
But I do understand why Metrolinx doesn't want to...
Given that congestion is a major issue in the city, and provide for that matter, I find it interesting as well that we arent talking about transit as much as we should be. You can draw lines on a map and call it a day - but nobody seems to be talking about what they plan to do to get transit...
The sites the TTC is considering right now are more centrally located within the city. While yes, an office at the McCowan yard would have easy access to the subway, the other sites they are looking into are better connected. While it would be nice to bring more office workers to Scarborough...
The cyber truck in the rendering is so funny. But in all seriousness, if this project is delivered before two-way all-day GO is in service on the Barrie Line, it will turn into Maple GO TOD all over again...
Given the sites current conditions there is very minimal retail activity, but looking beyond just the Downsview West District once you bring over one hundred thousand new residents to the Downsview Secondary Plan area, new retail opportunities should present itself. If the community was deigned...
I'll believe it when I see it. Too many times have developers said they are building "family friendly units" just for them to be laughable for a couple with a new born. I understand why developers stick with the mainly one bed plus den concepts with a couple of two bedrooms sprinkled in the mix...
I know this is super long term thinking but a Sheppard Subway Extension with a station centrally located within the Downsview Secondary Plan area is critically necessary to be built before occupants move in to this neighbourhood. While the Downsview Park GO & TTC stop would be super beneficial...
The revised plans look really nice, but I am keen to know how this master planned community (including the longos redevelopment) will be interconnected with Downtown Markham Centre east of Warden. Hopefully these areas will have high quality pathways and ground floor activated streets...
