If memory serves, the plan was for QQ to continue east and end at Cherry Street.

How many ontario line station entrances are former banks? At least three, right?

Moynihan looks sharp, but it has many of the same problems outlined in Willybru's post about Union: the outdoor spaces are cold and uninviting, there's no greenery, animation or anywhere to sit, and the interior hall also notoriously has nowhere to sit.

Just a buckwild timeline. In the time it's taken to even start this relatively minor project, I've changed careers (twice) and genders (once)

Hey, we're coming up on 15 years since this thread was started, what's another year delay amirite

My approach has always been, you draw out the mmm sound, plus, importantly, you start low, and then increase both volume and pitch so that "uff" comes out as a loud squeak.

The street level is dreadful, just a long, flat, undifferentiated wall of glass.

I'm not in one of these houses, but my place is just as close to the same railway line, just south of Bloor. To be honest, when the windows are shut, I barely notice the trains (and they're not yet very frequent anyway). In the warmer months we tend to leave the windows open for airflow and...

What a great streetscape (aside from the lack of trees)! I'd love to walk along there and explore. (Setting aside the impossibility of time travel, of course, and that back then I couldn't walk down the street without being assaulted and/or thrown in jail)

As far as I know, there's no ETA, and work on the extension won't begin until Metrolinx finishes their work in the corridor adding a new track, adding new sound walls, etc, and that work has quite a ways to go, so, don't hold your breath. As to how long it would take, following the notional...

It seems to read in columns, left to right: Welcome to what was once the gay st charles I am your maitre d', i am the clock in the tower Oh the things i could tell you about the bar etc. Fun! I love this.

"Teenagers gather around the Chimney to watch the local puppet show" Yup, sounds like standard teenage behaviour

Railway platform 3, if memory serves. You could cross the street via it, back in the day, but obviously from a safety/crowd management perspective having this separate, dedicated pedestrian bridge is preferable.

How's that now? 😆

It's reflected – there's a tattoo shop right there that has a little neon lightning bolt in the window

Massive eye-roll seeing John Tory's signature on that.

I assumed it was a reference to the 1990 eurodance hit by Snap! (exclamation point theirs, not mine).

They're just there to swap out the porta-potties.

Fortunately, there's already a local coffee shop across the street (The Merseyside, who have excellent scones), if for some reason you wanted coffee that didn't taste like grey dishwater

Well, that paneling got replaced with what looks like maybe brick? So that's not much, but it's something. But yeah. My run club meets at this intersection ever week and it's been frustrating seeing the potential of this area look like it's going to be buried under several lazily-designed...
