    New Transit Funding Sources

    You obviously don't live at Humber Bay Shores. There isn't much retail in the area. The easy access to the Gardiner is what is convenient about this area, and is the only way to get to retail and shopping quickly (8 minutes to Sherway). Not to mention getting to kids soccer games, or hockey...

    New Transit Funding Sources

    This is a far right flat tax. I don't know why people on the left are supporting this. Let's put in place progressive tax measures to affect us proportionally, not force someone making 25k to pay the same amount as someone making over a million. In terms of Etobicoke, this is only going to...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    It forces people not to wait until the last minute to get out of the right lane, and allows those exiting to the 412 to "zoom' past all those continuing on the 401. I wish this existed where this kind of thing occurs on my commute, where the right hand lane ends up exiting. Everyone continuing...

    Woodbine Centre

    I'm surprised Hudson's Bay painted the outside of their store at Woodbine. I always thought this location was going to close.

    Toronto Eau du Soleil Condos | 227.98m | 66s | Empire | Richmond Architects

    This thing is going to be massive. I can't imagine trying to exit left onto Lake Shore to get to get to Park Lawn North-bound when this is all done.

    Mississauga M1 & M2 at M City | 197.81m | 60s | Rogers Real Estate | Core Architects

    South Mississauga does have some schools sitting half empty though. Peel is unique in Ontario in that most in the area attend the same school board (Very few students going to French Public or Catholic, and even the English Catholic numbers in Peel are lower than compared to the provincial...

    5300 Dundas Street West (IC Savings, 5s, ?)

    Fair. Although, the road was brought to its current form to function as an arterial to a major highway. Taking that away would simply move vehicles to other streets. Also, the area you mention still has high volume traffic for the urban and lively area that it is.

    5300 Dundas Street West (IC Savings, 5s, ?)

    You say this as if it's a bad thing? Yes, major highways need major arterials feeding into them. Highway 427 is the third busiest highway in North America.. You can't expect Queen St. W-like streets feeding into it. And about the busses connecting East Mall and West Mall to Kipling; Yes, we...

    Mississauga Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    Steele Avenue is a much more straightforward border.

    Mississauga Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    MiWay already picks up passengers in Toronto, at Islington Station and Kipling, and along Dundas/Bloor (westbound).

    Mississauga Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    In terms of getting riders from Renforth station to Kipling Station (and Kipling to Renfroth), will it fall under MiWay or TTC responsibility? One of the things I really enjoyed when I used to live near Kipling was the ability to take either MiWay or TTC for just 1 fare. If the TTC took over...

    York Region Transit: Viva service thread

    Do riders taking YRT 7 North from Humber (or Woodbine) (or South into Toronto) have to pay an extra fare when crossing Steeles? I never understood the rationale for running a YRT bus so far deep into Toronto.

    Toronto Pinnacle Etobicoke | 137.76m | 43s | Pinnacle | Turner Fleischer

    A one or 2 stop extension of the Bloor Danforth line westbound would be probably the cheapest extension, and serve a large (and growing) dense neighbourhood. Best bang for buck. Where are all the residential tower proposals in walking distance to STC?

    Will Tory face stronger opposition from the Left or a right-wing populist in the next election?

    I began reading this thread today, and was intrigued about the discussion of a "Bernie" type candidate. These big government left councillors are not what Bernie was about. He was much more libertarian/social-democrat. Never in a million years would he be caught trying to tell you what to do...

    TDSB & TCDSB Trustees/Politics

    Speaking of trustees, does anyone know how I can change my taxes/ who I vote for to the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde? I am Franco-Ontarien from Northern Ontario and moved here 2 years ago, and when I voted in the municipal election at the time, I had TDSB on my ballot and didn't bother asking to...

    Toronto Westlake | 153.31m | 48s | Onni Group | P + S / IBI

    Yes, I've heard this too. This will allow a for a restaurant / coffee shop to go in the current Orange Theory, and use the space that was intended for a patio correctly. That corner (Park Lawn at the Lights to enter Westlake) is so hectic right now with the lanes to enter WestLake closed, and...

    Yet, it's Scarborough that needs the subway extension.

    Toronto Hullmark Centre | 167.94m | 45s | Tridel | Kirkor Architects

    Anyone can guess at occupancy levels by looking at window and lights on in a building. Is it a factual representation of actual leased/used spaces, no. When presenting a figure, the onus is on you to provide a source, not on others to go do research to confirm your guess. Can you imagine...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    My partner and I used to often take the GO Lake Shore West line to get from Mimico to Exhibition, at over 5$ per ride each, but I haven't done that in over a year, as I use now Uber. It's crazy that a government has spent these billions of dollars on public transit infrastructure, but it's...

    Plans to fill in Allen Road

    I'm not quite sure what is implied here. Condos took over some parking lots? Sure. They also have huge parking garages down 5+ stories into the ground. Not sure it means there is less parking available.
