If anyone is interested in learning more about this project, I came across this recently.

Even the 99 is often too busy to get on during rush hour, still have to let busses go by, and that's with seemingly minute frequencies of the articulated bus. For comparison, the 99 averaged 57k riders/day in 2019, and TTC Finch West 47k/day for the 36 (2018), and 35k/day for the 939 (2018)...

Would love to see them connect through the rail corridor + extend the Leaside spur trail from its current terminus. The current gap from where it ends to the start of Betty Sutherland is brutal.

There's an ongoing TPAP right now for BRT between East Ave and Etobicoke Creek (Long Branch Loop) ~2km that includes the Lakeview stretch. Hopefully it'll get extended to Hurontario, or at least result in high frequency bus service between Hurontario and Long Branch Loop/GO. I believe that the...

What are the chances that a pedestrian bridge is put in somewhere along the 401 in that area with all the development?

Funny, I heard that Metrolinx is using it as their new landmark Ontario Line bridge.

ActiveTO is permanent!! Council also passed the bike plan today. Some great additional motions passed too.

Some exciting bike related news today in conjunction with the removal of parking minimums for new developments. Standards for bike parking in new developments to be updated, haven't had the chance to dig through the report yet. Also includes a new "payment in lieu of bike parking" fund that will...

I do believe the eventual plan is to connect Esplanade/Mill bike path with this one. Cannot wait, I always find myself trying to navigate across downtown through this area and it's no fun. I'd like to see them find a way to add the EV spaces somewhere else though. Hopefully this might alleviate...

I feel it's also important to note that more funding doesn't necessarily equal better city design. Need to have the right policies and city leadership in place that promote good design in conjunction with funding.

Materials for the Sheppard East project are up! Consultation is tonight. https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/9451-Sheppard-Willowdale-Public-Mtg-120321-FINAL-web-1206Accessible.pdf

A smidge wider and this would honestly be a pretty sweet flexible studio unit. Looks like a nice separated den/wfh space, functional kitchen, and I like that the couch doesn't have to either face the kitchen, or be right in front of it like so many small units. Can have a bar style table or gate...

As someone living in the area, quite close to this corner.. I must say that it's certainly not the "destination" part of the annex. If I'm not headed into the subway I typically choose a walking/biking route that does not involve passing this particular intersection as I don't think there really...

Some pics from the crane coming down this morning, and one from the other day.

The balcony construction was nightmarish, along with what felt like wholesale unit renos because of all the vacancies from everyone that dipped because of the construction. 90+ dB frequently, with minimal communication of noise mitigation and construction progress. It's really not that bad now...
