    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    There are ways around 80% rule. It's challenging but possible. It really depends on the exact wording of the declaration. We have done it. It took a lot of effort, litigation and education. But it is possible in most cases. I am not sure about the exact wording of the declaration at ICE. So, I...

    Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

    Will the park on top of the station ever open?

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    I live in the new-ish building in the area not too far from Ice. We banned airbnb. Took a lot of effort from the board, management and security to enforce and defend the rule. There were several individuals who were still running airbnbs. They came out, and flat out told us that they "make...

    Toronto Lower Simcoe Ramp | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Entire area is a huge clusterf*ck for people who travel through it, into it or live there. I live here, and it takes forever to get in and out of the building especially during game nights. There are several ways it could be improved. At the very least, they should expand traffic cops (currently...

    Toronto 16 York | 154.83m | 32s | Cadillac Fairview | a—A

    Honestly, I don't really see any work being done on the tunnel. Right now, it still looks like a deep trench lined with concrete...

    Toronto 16 York | 154.83m | 32s | Cadillac Fairview | a—A

    I spoke to a contact at Cadillac, and was told that the switch is delayed till November. However, I doubt they will meet that new timeline. I saw the tunnel, and it doesn't look anywhere ready for a shift.

    Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

    Nope, it's closed. They are competing with Union station construction on who is going to take the longest. Maybe another decade (for either of the projects) before they will be completed.

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Thank you for your kind clarification. This was always been a mystery to me because of the conflicting information I've been reading. Based on the information I've seen before, I thought that chilled Lake Ontario water is being used directly to cool closed-circuit systems in various buildings. I...

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    May I ask you where you got this information. Because it is not accurate... and rather causing confusion to other less informed members. As was posted in other links, Enwave is using chill water from Lake Ontario to provide cooling to certain buildings in the core. They do not use "tap water"...

    Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

    After 6 years of construction, it appears to be still not open. Any idea what's going on? The park has not been open to public. Is the station at least in operation?

    I can't speak for other states, but Arizona has speed limits at 85mph.

    Toronto Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    Agreed with Automation Gallery and others. I live in the area, and every single person I've talked to, refers to this building as Ten York. There are several Tridel buildings in the area (300 Front and Queen's Quay East condos), and any other reference would have been causing confusion.

    Indeed. Entire system is broken. It needs a complete overhaul.

    Toronto Ïce Condominiums at York Centre | 234.07m | 67s | Lanterra | a—A

    This common perception is exactly what's wrong with some people living in condos. As a condo board member, I get blamed for nearly everything in the building (AirBnB, cigarette on a balcony, tresspassing, loud noises, garbage chute clogging, elevator repairs taking forever etc). People need to...

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    If it is found to be due to negligence, I hope the actual person responsible pays the price. Otherwise, everything gets ultimately passed onto taxpayers. Construction workers have to start taking responsibility for their mistakes and negligence. Shit like this happens all the times. For example...

    Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

    I can't tell if it's actually being used for its intended purpose. But the park on top is still fenced off, and there are signs of visible work being slowly done inside the station

    Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

    Nothing has changed since the Spring. No visible changes whatsoever. Any word on opening of the station or park? We are entering 7th year of construction. Only in Toronto...

    Toronto Rees Park Playground and Pavillion | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I remember reading somewhere that they are planning to build a flood mitigation system under the park. The plans called for diversion pipes and a large underground storm water storage facility under the park. This supposed to help mitigate floods in the area. If I am not mistaken, plan called to...

    Toronto Lower Simcoe Ramp | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Yes. Everything was finished last weekend. The only thing that's left two be done: planting trees and finishing the bike trail between Lower Simcoe and Rees street. FYI, they did NOT use Silva cells for the trees on the North side of Harbour street.

    DVP Off Ramp to Bayview Northbound - Nobody Yields

    Yeah. There a lot of drivers who are totally oblivious to the dangerous situation they create. Good example is this on/off ramp: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.7010395,-79.3362671,3a,75y,250.59h,68.07t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sM6c4NbHIEgo1gW9rQulmAw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en Cars are merging on and...
