It definitely was popular for 90-95 born girls to buy their prom dresses from, earlier than that, maybe not so much. I think it was bigger in the smaller areas that didn't have the bigger/more popular stores.

Like how this one fronts right up onto Dundas.

People along the western waterfront would disagree with you. The Waterfront West LRT (I'm talking west of Ontario Place) is nowhere in sight, and no alternatives are anywhere close, despite some of of the biggest growth in the city. This was a big part of Transit City.

Always drive 110 most of the way on 11 North without an issue, except just south of New Liskeard where the OPP will pull you over even just doing 100.

Hopefully we see a total stop on foreign investment. The handing out credit 'like candy' actually worked to help a lot of lower/middle income Canadians become pretty wealthy. But we don't want that, right? We want them to stay poor? Come on. We want that, instead of making these foreign...

Maybe another car dealership / auto mall, since it would be quite visible from the Gardiner, and this stretch is full of them. I think the Policaro Group has plans just east of here for new dealerships.

Looks like occupancy at Bloorvista has now started on certain floors. Islington Terrace seems to be fully occupied.

Your statement is too general. In Scarborough, you are probably right. In Etobicoke, a lot of the ridership comes from Park and Rides at Islington and Kipling. I don't have the ridership breakdown, maybe you could share that since you are making the assertion. In North York, along Yonge, much...

The lack of discussion about bringing the subway here is what is wrong with Toronto transit planning. These kinds of densities don't exist anywhere in North America without access to a rapid transit system. GO/Metrolinx is Regional Rail, not Local Rapid Transit. But go ahead and built that...

I really find it odd that the PDSB's planning put this ahead of areas in Brampton with schools at 200% capacity on their capital priorities list. These new condos will be full of a lot of young people, many without kids.

Anyone know the breakdown of the schools? More space given at the TDSB part? I really think fewer young families (the demos here) chose Catholic schools.

I understand that SmartCentres care more about the land value of the current Walmart, than about Walmart's success. But a lot of these units, especially at Transit City, do not have any parking. You have thousands of new people in the area without a car, and I can't see them walking that far...

Maybe more regional hiring. But if you are good enough to be a nurse in Toronto, why not in Clarington (or vice versa)? People avoid having to go through interviews, "starting over", so they "choose" to drive those commutes. What I'm saying is it would be good Public Health policy to try to...

We should be trying to get people to stop relying on their cars. For some, the traffic/travel is inevitable, but for others, we can reduce it. Why doesn't the government do anything to reduce some of that congestion? There are a ton of nurses, teachers, police officers, government employees...

And the 410. And the 401. There are a lot of people in Brampton and Caledon who might choose to travel east first to this highway, instead of going a little West to the 410/401.

I've heard occupancy begins in August? Does that sounds right?

Agreed. A lot of South Etobicoke heads to St Josephs for their services. Aren't they also going through a big expansion?

Anyone know if the new pedestrian stairs to Islington will be open/accessible anytime soon? Or will it be once the third building (on the east) is done?

The appeal of Yonge and Sheppard is the Subway and Highway access. People want both.

I meant, why is MiWay going to continue bringing their residents to Islington station? Why not just bring them all the way to Union free of charge? Kind of arbitrary if there's no longer going to be a MiWay terminal there once the new Kipling station is done. It doesn't make environmental...
