Doesn't seem like they're taking advantage of the north side for a potential restaurant patio. 😢

Thank you!

A few interesting ideas came up at the Saturday city consultations that I thought I'd share to see what you all thought (if that's allowed): 1) Ontario Place as a whole - there are only 3 exits so having a dish wash & reuse program like Yorkdale used to have for all the food vendors so there'd...

I am specifically attracted to the idea of the spa on the waterfront because it allows for a framed view of the lake (similar to how hot springs in Japan often take advantage of natural phenomena like the ocean or a river etc to give their clients something to peacefully contemplate while...

Are there any more details on this school that someone can direct me to?

See how ridiculous it sounds now though? Moving the OSC to OP means they're trying to squeeze a huge amount of programming into a small space, effectively under-valuing the programming that goes on there now and could in the future. It's not just about the building, but the content, too. As a...

While I agree with that one line you pulled, I don't agree with the rest of the article's idea of moving the OSC to OP, mostly because I think OP should be showcasing ALL facets of Ontario, like art and heritage & culture too. There are 5 pods, which I think could each be curated by a different...

Yes, on the Diamond & Schmitt pages they talk of it being inspired by the trillium with each petal different - one a water park, one a "wellness centre" (aka spa) and one a botanical garden.

I agree, and moreover, Ontario Place is not just meant for the people of Toronto. How does a simple green space in Toronto appeal to someone from Windsor or London or Cobourg, etc? Is not Ontario Place for them too? Even if a non-Torontonian were into urban green spaces, High Park is larger than...

I've used every type of gate at multiple stations. Maybe I just walk faster than you.

Thank you for the summary!

That is untrue. I have my Presto card out and ready to tap as I enter the station (so long before I get to the gate) and I have to stop each time because the gate does not open fast enough to match my walking speed. I have tried to wave my umbrella in front of me even, but they still aren't fast...

Isn't Metrolinx in the midst of adding extra tracks to permit all day both way trains at 15min intervals for all GO routes? Or did I misunderstand and it's only some routes?

Agreed. Last weekend, I realized a trip from my neighbourhood (East York) to Liberty Village for brunch would be much more pleasant & straightforward via GO than TTC, but having to get the timing right deterred me. If it was 15min or less between trains, I'd probably use that exact route option...

If the longer Ottawa version means the gates will open before I get to them I will definitely notice the difference. Likewise so will my husband, who complains constantly about how much he hates pausing.

Yes, I shopped there a lot back when I lived on Maitland. I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm super happy there'll be a Fabricland right close to a subway stop again. 😁

I took it as a joke based off Undead's comment "Toronto's never had 15 murders a year in recent history." This is the 2nd time recently that I've seen you reprimand Walter for minor deviations yet not reprimand others who go off topic or make jokes. It's off putting as a newbie to see someone...

Yes, but it's untenable so it's a moot point. You might be able to eventually make some more north-south connections that aid with connections though. You've already got an east side connection between Smith Falls & Brockville, so you could do a similar one on the west or do a diagonal between...

No, he's not off topic. Read the posts just prior to his and you'll find people were debating whether Toronto's homicide rates were rising or falling. There was also a misunderstanding between "murders to date" vs "murders per year".

Let the current VIA route remain a milk run that serves all the bedroom communities & build the new HSR along a new corridor like the one they're proposing for HFR but with even less stops. Personally, I'd do only Eglinton, Peterborough and Smith Falls between Union & Ottawa. Stopping too often...
