    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    The stabby vibes at Yonge and Bloor are from blistering winter winds to the face. I recall the wind study for The One modelling 0.1% conditions (meaning rare but not unrealistic) where pedestrians could face 80km/h winds on the south east street corner. Shout out to our dedicated photographers...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    It’s interesting you put owns in quotations, I too don’t really understand the ownership. I do know that in many disputes the federal body trumps the provincial and municipals. For example, the CN railyard in Milton being objected by the municipality but moving forward anyway. I wouldn’t be...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    That concourse photo looks stunning, you could easily convince me that is a rendering. At a glance, every photo impresses and gives me hope for our other new projects coming down the pipeline!

    Toronto Ontario Line: Queen-Spadina Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Publicly available documents would indicate 6 escalators between street and platform. Here's hoping they have little downtime.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It’s the little details from ML that anger me most. They could have chosen any image of the station but they decided to copy & paste a highly technical one with no legend or description. With so little information about the station improvements and the oil pipeline highlighted in the image...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Can I get a review relative to other good sub sandwiches like Firehouse? Looks like lower level between Bay and York concourse, someone else can probably confirm.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    Retrofitting anything under here would be unnecessarily expensive when there is so much underutilized space on the south side (eg. every surface parking lot in Exhibition). Adding more north/south pedestrian access is tricky considering you’ll need to go over or under the rail corridor in...

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Toronto EQ Bank Tower | 105.18m | 23s | First Gulf | Sweeny &Co

    Couple shots from yesterday and today. @ProjectEnd informed me this is being used to remove the crane up on the roof. Yesterday: Single lane closure on Adelaide last night to get things assembled then this today:

    Toronto Grainger | 124.5m | 40s | Fitzrovia | Turner Fleischer

    Big machine being erected here, not sure what it is exactly. EDIT: redacted, photos moved to EQ bank thread in this post

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Referencing a Toronto soil map, I noticed that the investigation is being performed near the border of two distinct soil deposits. The hashed area denotes "Peel ponds; shallow-water deposits: sand" while the green area denotes "Young tills: clayey silt till and sandy silt till." I know little...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    There’s also an unused shoulder lane both directions. Easy win for bus priority!

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I have seen work in bits and pieces. I haven’t travelled the whole length of the park in a while but I’ve never noticed more than a few guys working on it. Anyone know if this work is keeping up with its schedule? Is the raised cycle track really expected in September?

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    That is true for the intercity / regional train networks, where there are many stops also outside Warsaw. The particular service in that schedule is a shorter line across town to the airport, similar distance to Danforth GO through Union to Pearson. They don’t tack on Warsaw to the name of...

    St Lawrence Market

    I passed by last night. Seems to be obstructed by the grassy knoll on the west edge of the park, next to Scott St.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Great update! One note, the excavation at Sammon Ave is for a track crossover section and likely an access shaft. It’s not exactly maintenance facilities for Pape station.

    Toronto Ontario Line: King-Bathurst Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Any idea why it is being enclosed? Residential proximity?

    St Lawrence Market

    It’s less frequent that I see traffic cops in this intersection than up at King and Jarvis. I feel like it’s safe to assume this car wasn’t directed through by police considering it managed to crash seconds afterwards. Personally, I never walk along Jarvis anywhere south of Queen, it’s an...
