    Downtown Mississauga Master Plan

    Is there a date for release (or approximate time frame)?

    Downtown Mississauga Master Plan

    A number of them are actually condominiums so buying the properties would require negotiating with hundreds of different residents in each building. I would assume that makes it far more difficult than buying each building from a single owner.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Great Googly Moogly! There's a disaster waiting to happen.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I was under the impression that Hurontario will lose one lane in each direction in order to accommodate LRT. With three lanes in each direction over the 401, one assumes the middle lanes will eventually be dedicated transit lanes once the LRT line is built.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    The South Access Road to Whittle Road was interesting. Have traffic studies demonstrated a significant amount of truck traffic exiting the 401 eastbound and then turning left at Britannia? I guess it also provides a convenient route to Kennedy south at times when Hurontario southbound is...

    Hurontario St (Hwy 10) and QEW Interchange

    Getting back to the original topic, has anyone driven through the interchange during rush hour in recent weeks? With the lights timed to allow traffic exiting the highway and turning left to continue through the next light, it is often creating insane backups on Hurontario. Two lights so close...

    Marko, is the first image from the Sparks Street Mall?

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    A previous thread discussed the possibility of a Whole Foods Market coming to Square One. Perhaps they are the future tenants in block E?

    Another useless Apple vs PC thread

    If I'm a lemming for preferring a computer with a more stable operating system; software that better meets my needs and a set-up that lasts me a lot longer then sign me up for rodent duty.

    Next Premier of Ontario?

    McGuinty seems to be on the road to Bill Davis territory: Slow and steady; generally sensible policies with little flash but also few openings to successfully attack him. All he needs now is his Spadina Expressway to turn him into a saviour.

    Next Premier of Ontario?

    If he loses any seats up north or in the London-Windsor corridor, it would likely be to the NDP (with perhaps the exception of London itself.) Unless a major scandal comes along, he will probably hold steady in the GTA and Ottawa area.

    T&T Supermarket Chain acquired by Loblaws

    Many of them were originally run by former IGA franchisers after LOEB took over and there was a major cleansing of franchise owners. It begs the question as to how much change in store management will take place at T & T.

    T&T Supermarket Chain acquired by Loblaws

    What qualifies as an independent? T&T was jointly owned by Uni-President Enterprises Corporation (T'ung-i Chi-yeh - a big Taiwanese company) and Tawa Supermarkets (99 Ranch Market in California). Thus the name: T & T. I believe Uni-President Enterprises Corporation is bigger than Weston.

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    Both locations always had lineups so I think the demand was there. There aren't any open spaces next to the remaining location so I can't see it expanding any time soon. It might get pretty crazy over there and any long lineups will cause problems as there is also a seating area that squeezes...

    News on retail chains (was: New Mall Retail)

    The food court one. I'm curious about the reason. It was always the busiest outlet in the food court so I doubt it was lack of sales. Surely it wasn't shut down simply to force everyone to the already-busy Sears location or because the line up was a bit of an impediment?

    Square One Shopping Centre

    Custom printed t-shirts in Square One? Are there any shops in Square One that provide custom printing for t-shirts? I believe Lids offers this service for hats but I'm not sure if they also print t-shirts. Thanks in advance.

    Toronto non-mall retail (Odds & Ends)

    Isn't the Google Map location and listed address incorrect? The location is on Duke of York, south of Burnhamthorpe, isn't it?

    Good magazine and news shops in the GTA?

    Why would you assume I don't know how to use Google? I was looking for quality magazine shops that people on this forum recommend. Your "duh" comment is uncalled-for.

    Good magazine and news shops in the GTA?

    Thanks, I will check it out next time I'm downtown. I was in Ottawa this weekend and stopped by Mags & Fags on Sunday. It's one of the places I miss most after moving to the GTA.

    Good magazine and news shops in the GTA?

    I am curious if there are any news shops with a large selection of magazines and newspapers. Some Chapters/Indigo locations are ok and there are some decent small newsstands out there but I'm looking for something similar to the wide selection of Mags & Fags in Ottawa. If anyone is...
