Transit absolutely does have a problem of people feeling it is unsafe, but that doesn't mean it is, it could be a media fabrication. The TTC was the subject of what almost felt like a smear campaign earlier this year with how much negative attention individual incidents were being reported on...

We like to pile on Verster, but how much is really his fault? I'm not well versed in his role, but from my perspective: He's not building the line, Crosslinx is. He's not even responsible for selecting Crosslinx or negotiating their contract, that was before his time. And lack of communication...

I'll give you Yonge, but there was a serious debate about Bloor vs Queen for the second subway.

For what it's worth, by my count there are only three intersections on the surface section without stops right before or after.

"Golf courses are all in flood plains and can't be redeveloped" is generally a massive cope from the golfies. Truth is it varies from course to course. Dentonia, for example, is right next to a subway station and the majority of its land is not in a floodplain.

How about 0m from downtown Woodbridge, since the tracks go there too.

As a lover of housing and hater of golf and golf courses, this is my kind of development.

I hope he does tbh.

^Through vote splitting, all things are possible.

Three triplexes have gone up along Burrard Rd. in Rexdale over the past few years.

Hey everyone, I have a question that has surely been asked and answered somewhere up the thread but I have no desire to scroll and find it. Concerning that shiny black band that currently wraps around the tower like a belt...what is it exactly? I assume it has something to do with the cladding...

Presumably a bunker to protect themselves from the inevitable angry mob when this gets delayed again.
