I really don't see people going to Sherway Gardens to do their grocery shopping. Anyway, I still find it interesting that there still isn't any real discussion at City planning, even in the Sherway Area Study, about getting rapid transit to the area. If they are in fact planning for the...

A Western extension of line two would surely serve Sherway Gardens.

The space beside the ScotiaBank will be a dental office, and it has also been confirmed that an LCBO pop-up will also be opening in one of the other empty units at Westlake.

I commute from the 416 to Mississauga via Gardiner & 427. Morning commute is about double the time compared to afternoon commute home. I have discovered a few time-savers, but ultimately the slowest part of this is the Gardiner to 427N ramp, which I often avoid by getting off at Kipling and...

If you are looking for brand names, there aren't many other options. For example if you are looking for Levis jeans, or Clinique makeup, and you live in North Bay, there aren't many other choices. I think my point is that a retailer can continue to be a profitable entity without operating...

I find this post quite interesting. People that don't care about following the trend (which is, itself, becoming more of a trend), don't want to spend 20+ minutes waiting for a sales associate to grab them a shoe size at Hudson's Bay when they are having 30% off. Also, if you live outside of...

What is an LCBO pop up store? Will it be inside of the Metro or in one of the other empty units?

Your favourite? Haven't they only started selling beer for about a week at that location?

Sherway is also unique in that it acts as a regional mall even for people who aren't necessarily in the region. People living downtown who don't want to deal with congestion getting to Eaton (walking or having to pay for parking), often don't mind taking the 10/15 minute drive on the Gardiner...

I know a lot of people don't like this one, but I really like the offsets and alternating colours. Something different for HSS, compared to all the plain glass we've seen, especially at Westlake.

What a waste of money. Ottawa basically dug up hundreds of millions of dollars worth of infrastructure (BRT) to replace it with hundreds of millions of (LRT) that will capture the exact same ridership, and operate less frequently. One of the biggest wastes of money in Ontario's history.

I don't know how these people are going to make a left-hand turn onto Park Lawn during morning rush hour with no lights, it's already crazy there in the mornings, and this area is probably going to double or more in the coming years.

Oh SportChek is moving in too? Guess that will leave another empty spot across the street on North Queen. Seems like stores are opting to get back into malls. I understand when it comes to malls that have heavy transit traffic, but most people drive to Sherway and can drive across the street...

I'm curious to see if there are any others here that use the 427 (Northbound AM rush), that have noticed significant delays compared to same trip year over year? Seems that I've added a good 7 minutes to my commute over a year ago. There is some construction still happening, but lane...

I live in the area too. Traffic southbound on Park Lawn is not a big issue. It's Park Lawn northbound from Lake Shore to the westbound Gardiner on-ramp that is ludicrous. Can take upwards of 15 minutes to get through it if you stay in the left hand lane the entire time (which most people do...

You pointing out how difficult it is to get to somewhere within the City of Toronto proves the point that TTC travel is inefficient. The issues go far beyond preference for Go vs TTC. It becomes an issue of wealth, socioeconomic status, and privilege. Many cannot afford Go fares on a daily...

Grimes and Di Ciano should be fighting for a Waterfront West LRT and building up the TTC presence in Etobicoke, not more GO stations within Toronto itself. GO is intended to be a regional service. What about upping service on The Queensway? Increased service on 66 Prince Edward, which is...

Is there a proposal for the plot of land just North of this?

I've noticed a sign for Indigo coming soon. Does that mean the Chapters across the street is closing? Is the condo proposal for that area still going ahead, and if so, does that mean the big-box stores will all be closing? I notice there are a few new retail outlets along North Queen, and...

Looks like the TD Bank is now open, and another retail location is opening soon (with a sign noting it will be a Soctiabank). Any other news on tenants? Looks like there are still another 4-5 spots available.
