I am not against the building of the Davenport diamond. I understand the importance of it and the fact that I live in a neighbourhood enclosed by rails. What I am against is Metrolinx promising to improve our neighbourhood as a concession for the project and then reneging on that promise. I was...

This is an accurate description of how things unfolded between Metrolinx and the Junction Triangle community. Most people in the neighbourhood were fuming mad when Metrolinx came here with a plan to build an elevated guideway. This is a part of town experiencing a renaissance after decades of...

"scaling back" is just a euphemism for cancelling, lets not kid ourselves. Also, why should DirectionNorth, myself, or anyone else for that matter "GET OVER IT?" If our lives are impacted by these decisions and the basis for our grievance is a government agency reneging on a promise they made, I...

They've uploaded their renderings for the greenway and wow what a bunch of liars they are. Basically their plan is to do a little landscaping under the guideway. There aren't any plans for a market, dog park, swings, tables, embellishments on the columns, and the bridge on Dupont is a far cry...

The presentation Metrolinx held in May was an update on the construction of the guideway. I believe this upcoming presentation will be on the public realm enchancements, which is being treated as a separate project.

I hope other developers hoping to build in this area take note of how easy it is to please people with simple design choices and small enhancements to the community. Other than squeezing every last dollar out of a development, I don't understand why developers build so much animosity with...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crossways_(Toronto) The complex consists of twin 29-storey (92 m)[2] triangular brick towers, with a broad, terraced podium at their bases. One level of the podium contains an indoor mall. The Crossways was designed in the Brutalist style[3] by architects Webb...

80 parking spaces for 327 units is very little and will likely result in spillover onto surrounding streets. The average home in the old city of Toronto has 0.9 cars so I don't see what they are proposing matching the realities of the city. The location may warrant a reduction in parking spaces...

Just emailed them to express my concerns about the development. I can't stand the proposed development. It's ugly, has too little parking, and creates an unsafe walking environment.

I live in this neighborhood and I think, in general, the style of this building fits in well. That being said, there is no way I'm going to accept 18 stories with virtually no public realm without a fight. At most, this lot should be 12 floors. Also, micro apartments are selling at -20% right...

I got hot potatoed by Metrolinx staff to the issues specialist, so as much as I'd like to believe the tunnel is going in in 2022, I think the email I received gives evidence to suggest a later date.

I contacted Metrolinx last week about the tunnel connecting Dundas West subway station with Bloor GO and was sent this email: "Preliminary design and site investigations were completed at the end of March 2020. Detailed design has commenced and is now scheduled to be complete by early 2021...

I live a short walk away from this development and I have to say this is rather disappointing. I was really excited to see the first design built and I am a little upset at the ridiculous reason they cited for the changes: "The site's unique conditions place it at the meeting point between...

Because a HSR line would divert much needed finances away from high priority projects, which is a lengthy list. And I'm not sure if you've been to London or Windsor, but they aren't exactly bustling metropolises (no offense meant to these cities at all). If we're going to build a HSR line, it...

you're absolutely right about the feasibility of running HSR on conventional tracks but actually having HSR on that corridor isn't happening anytime soon. It was a boondoggle proposal by the Liberal government to win seat along the 401 and it was (thankfully) scrapped by the current Ford...

I had to zoom in to be sure I wasn't seeing a hammer and sickle logo on those red Russian scooters. On another note, who thought it would be a good idea to let people park scooters wherever they pleased? The example in Moscow seems like the only option worth pursuing. It would complement the...

the 6 proposed stations are being pursued through a P3 model of procurement, which will (attempt) to put the cost of the station's construction on the private land developer. Also, fare integration is something that Metrolinx has been studying for years. I don't think we should write it off as a...

So what's going on with this development? I haven't heard anything in a long time.

do you have a link to verify it?
