Only the parking lot near the corner of Eglinton and Don Mills. See area context here: Post in thread 'Infographics - Future Toronto Skyline'

Born and raised in Mississauga, my most vivid memory of the OSC as a child was moving at walking pace on the 401 and DVP.

Judging by the excavation seen here at the bottom left (Apple Maps circa 2022), it probably has been set back appropriately. Haven’t seen any drawings. Looking further towards the Hurontario intersection, I think you can get away with knocking down only one side. Here’s what I would guess...

That’s simply not true. Those two roads run 2km apart, station to station is no more than 2.2km. Because there is no goal of putting everyone from south east Mississauga on the subway, there are many potential and existing trip generators between. Furthermore, this is the first progression of...

Well for one, Dixie is 5km away which is unreasonable spacing for a subway. You’re also serving zero people or jobs in most of that stretch. The appropriate mode has been selected for capacity and stop spacing. What you want is better Milton line service, and I can wholly empathize with your...

Man, come on, at least read a little bit of this page. I’m not even going to redirect you to a specific post, just read what you’ve missed on this page.

I presume the widest section in that last image is providing space for cyclists turning onto Gerrard. I just hope there is some kind of barrier in place to prevent a driver from treating this like a pickup/drop off zone for the hospital.

Love the passion in this thread! Despise the apathy to research from some of you lot. (Take it lightly -- the same can be said about many UTers, whom I would encourage to poke around more on the City's AIC) For everyone's benefit, let me bring forward some info from the 190 Cherry SPA...

More critical infrastructure like water supply/distribution systems use a combination of hardwired networks and 5G. When there is a failure of all the networks, the control system response is to run in auto and store data to forward to a central node later. Unfortunately, in the case of...

I have a bike that requires a couple hundred bucks of repairs after I got hit in Mississauga last Fall. I can probably go several years without repairing it. I totally get this but I mainly ride deep in the city where exceeding Bixi speed carries more risk with all the chaotic surroundings.

Got woken up by the storm and think I heard this one, distinctly louder and deeper, crunchier booooom! Somewhere between 3:15-3:30am

Trading a crummy photo for info: Had to be 20 in the crew here, working hard to fix mistakes of the higher ups. So it’s a case of one rail switching and the other not (left and right). I don’t know much about this but on traditional rail switches aren’t the left and right of the switch coupled...

That opening beneath the ped tunnel is new. Could perhaps be another entrance to the OL platform, but it may remain a back of house staff space as it was denoted in the architectural docs released last year.

In all fairness, this new Porsche dealership will not be on the island and the current dealership is occupying part of the Quayside site, their lease will be terminated there eventually. At this early stage, committing to move a luxury car dealership a couple kilometres has a much smaller...

I’m not Dan, but I am an engineer not entirley convinced by this paper’s methodology. The concept makes sense overall, just an overflow reservoir for heat and it’s only a brief report so I’m guessing there are many omitted details. It’s a bit frustrating there’s no mention of testing with...

Most desired right now is an update on maps, but the city publishes one cycling map and it’s not the same as what appears on Google Maps or the Bike Share map. I showed the Bike Share one in my previous post, here is Google Maps: And here is the city’s map: The PDF map from the City is...

Make that 1.5 cranes!

Are there any plans for a better Beltline - Bayview connection near Brickworks? I ask because I encountered some marked cycle connections here that are notably dangerous. It seems like a pretty common desire path for northbound/southbound travel, since the two trails diverge more east/west once...

Now this is some progress. And wow what an awful area to drive in right now, time to abandon the car!

Hmm, I’m familiar with the AIC and I had a look into architectural plans on this one but never noticed these details for the east end PATH extension. Guess I missed the opportunity but I’ll take a look around again later. Thanks!
