Do you mean that they've misspelled Vaughan by omitting the second 'a'?

As of this week, crews have begun pushing dirt on the square parcel of land at the northeast corner of Highway 7 and Edgeley Boulevard. The construction fencing has PCL signs on it. It's impossible to tell what they're building there. They're not digging deep. Anyone know? Another parking lot?

Yes, it's just a tank. I don't think there's any machinery in the unit itself. I see more and more of these at construction sites that have high water tables or other environmental/draining issues. Jane and Hwy 7 as one example.

If there was a plan to put doors there then that was before the first renderings were released to the public. I never recall any mention of an entrance there. However, I do recall that, although never explicitly stated, the idea was to make it into an outdoor amphitheatre. It was supposed to...

I just now got a chance to view these photos. Thanks for this. The photos are at least 10 days old because there's been a tower crane installed and now operating at the Y/Library/PWC site for about a week now.

I stand by what I said about both locations. YRT used to have multiple references on the web regarding the Smart Centres terminal opening at the end of this year. I'm forced to spend time to check the wayback machine because today it seems that YRT has successfully erased any public mention of...

Correction: The YRT terminal has always been and currently still is scheduled for a December opening (EDIT: source is http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2017/01/bus-terminal-vaughan-metropolitan-centre-gets-underway). You are confusing it with the Viva station on Hwy 7 which has a scheduled opening for...

Absolutely hilarious. I guess Wal-Mart complained that the Transit City Condos project took away too much of their prized parking space. I'll have to admit that I've completely avoided shopping there since then because it's quite cumbersome negotiating through the parking lot right now. Plus...

On Monday, crews fenced off the empty field at the southwest corner of Jane and Portage, and they're working hard clearing off the topsoil. Does anyone know what project is happening there? There is no advertising there, save for a sign advertising Transit City, which is the project going up...

We love your photos. Thanks for posting them. I had some fun with Google Earth and determined you to be on the 28th floor (plus or minus 3 floors), near the NE corner of 14 Harbour St.

This is worth a view:

Although they haven't publicly stated it, the TYSSE planners have given up hope that this station and 407 station will open in time. However, they do fully expect to have the trains operating and generating revenue by December. The trains simply won't stop at those two stations.

Red lines mark the new fence. Yellow lines mark existing construction site fences. Blue lines mark the building walls of Wal-Mart. There are fire exit doors along those lines. I presume they will be blocked. I have noticed I made a mistake with that "pan handle" to the northeast. Most of that...

Today there's a crew installing the perimeter fence. Obviously we're just a few days from them breaking soil. Expect a Vaughan and York politician photo-op very soon. All the truckers (and the occasional lot lizard) are all upset that their prime truck stop parking lot is no more. No one...

The CN Tower is definitely shown in the wrong spot. It is 25 degrees further left than shown. The rendering's heading is 195 degrees and the field of view, from the photo's left to right edge is about 60 degrees. Here's Google Earth for comparison.

I agree that the rendering is inaccurate. They drew in this condo project as well as the parking garage and PwC/Library/YMCA building about 25% larger than the surroundings, including the KPMG building, which is much larger. The rendering shows empty space where the Futureshop building is...

Good Life Fitness is still there and is quite active. But this does get me thinking: what is near Centro Square that would attract potential residents? They should have sold the units with the slogan: "Within walking distance of two gas stations and a home improvement centre." Well, I guess...

Last week, the Staples store moved out of the strip mall neighbouring this development, to a location in the Colossus block. I can't help but wonder if this strip mall's owner is considering selling it off to developers.
