This post really baffled me. Toronto's problem is congestion. But when you finally get downtown, there is plenty of parking. I am almost always able to find free on street parking when I head downtown by car. In fact, it has been documented that there is too much parking in Toronto, and...

The current development plans at that intersection look good, no? The plan for the condos replacing the ScotiaBank and restaurants (in the Cineplex parking lot) add density at street level, I think it looks better than the Kip District which looks much more car-oriented in the way that the...

I'm not sure if this post is written in jest, but, there is a reason Sudbury does not have a subway.

Wow. That's disappointing. Still, I don't think this was used in decision to convert to LRT. I really felt like the sentiment in Ottawa was more about "We want a train, we're a big city" without much rational thought. Densities are so low around some of the stations, so maybe there is hope...

I lived in Ottawa when this was being planned, attented many of the public open houses. The operating budget was never a significant topic of discussion in terms of a reason for building LRT, and it fact, OC Transpo actually mentioned (as a positive thing) that almost all bus operators will...

I've said it before, and I continue to say it. The worst waste of transit money in Ontario's history. I understand the downtown tunnel (should have been for buses). The LRT will add no new ridership. You are replacing BRT with LRT. In fact, it will be less convenient because the frequency...

New developments along Queens Quay should have their money-in-lieu be put towards a bridge. I don't agree with charging to access the island. It is a public space, let people who want to go there, get to the island. Since when in Canada have we had to pay to use public spaces? I don't think...

RW & Co. is opening across from Sherway in the Smart Centre (near its parent Reitmans location). Kind of an odd move for a store like that, which relies on foot traffic, not to open in the mall proper.

The original proposal from decades ago had the station at West Mall and The Queensway, but I'd like to think that a stations directly in the mall (or attached) would be more beneficial, (with an entrance at North Queens & The Queensway).

I do think people like to delegitimize the notion of shopping centres as points of interests, and destinations, because they see them as not being urban enough, or going against some of the principles of urban planning. People want to go to shopping malls, whether we like it or not...

Motion brought forward today at council to extend Line 2 to Sherway Gardens.

The signs are up at the Park Lawn & Lake Shore LCBO store. Doesn't look like a pop-up store, looks permanent to me. It is in the building that does not front onto either Park Lawn or Lake Shore (the North one in behind, facing Metro).

I commute to Mississauga from East Etobicoke, and it's about 15 minutes if I leave by 7:30, but can get up to 45 minutes if I leave anytime after that. I can see how it could take 30 minutes if your friend left early enough. Also, if he/she set it for next week on Google, the time may not...

Are there any English majors here? Shouldn't it read "...until traffic has stopped"? and not "is stopped"?

I am pretty shocked that a Park Lawn Go was not included in this round, as it is probably the worse serviced area in the city, given the (forever exponentially increasing) density.

Disagree with your anecdotal opinion, here. Yorkdale caters to very high and, because of its position as a transit hub, low and very low income earners. Sherway caters to universally high to mid-high income earners. Also, "nearby" is quite a relative term. It takes about the same amount of...

It's interesting, for some of these areas, as they are experiencing some of the biggest increases in population they've ever seen (in terms of % and #), like for example, Ward 6, yet their power at council would diminish. Why wouldn't they wait until numbers from the 2016 census become...

I have to say, the comments about biking are pretty funny. I stopped biking along the lake trail. You can't even enjoy that anymore, there are way too many people, biking, roller blading, walking, it really is unsafe, particularly where there is not a separated path for bikers/walkers...

Would it not also be some sort of entrapment?
