    Toronto 383 Sorauren Avenue | 33.83m | 10s | Gairloch | a—A

    That's why I bought at the front of the building. :cool: Plus, it can't be any worse than living beside the feeder tracks to Bologna Centrale in Italy. And I sleep with ear plugs.

    400 University Ave (Re-Cladding Zurich, Quadrangle)

    Won't be the "Zurich" Tower for much longer. My girlfriend works at Zurich and she's told me that they're moving to FCP in the new year.

    Toronto 383 Sorauren Avenue | 33.83m | 10s | Gairloch | a—A

    Well, I don't mean to come off as an ass, but I sure hope they have little to back up their position! I wouldn't want to see a good looking building like this get neutered.

    Toronto 383 Sorauren Avenue | 33.83m | 10s | Gairloch | a—A

    So it looks like this is going to the OMB (at least a pre-hearing). Any idea what the outcome will be? http://soraurenpark.wordpress.com/2013/08/21/383-sorauren-condo-subject-of-omb-hearings/

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    I'm sure MetroMan has some sources within Italian Parliament!

    Perhaps we can have a drink and discuss municipal politics? Ah forget it, we're going to Italy! :D

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    Of course then Ford will throw Blair under the bus and label him apart of the "Lefty Conspiracy" against him, then Sue-Ann Levy will write up a scathing article on Blair continuing to fuel the fire that burns in Ford Nation. Rinse and Repeat.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    What? No way! Are you on the Air Transat flight to Rome that departs at 8:50pm? Because I'll be on the same one heading to Bologna after it lands in Rome. :cool:

    TTC: Sheppard Subway Expansion (Speculative)

    The SRT in its current alignment cannot be turned into a subway. Some of the turns are too tight for the current subway cars, all the stations would need to be rebuilt to fit subway trains and the most important point of all, the tail tracks at Kennedy Station are pointing towards Eglinton and...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    In their eyes, he can do no wrong. It's like how Silvio Berlusconi kept getting re-elected. Bunga-bunga parties, tax evasions, controversies and all! Berlusconi's Legal Problems & Berlusconi Controversies

    Human Transit's Jarrett Walker in Toronto June 19th

    Damn! That's the day I leave for Italy. I was so excited when I saw this posted on Steve Munro's blog, but then I saw the date...

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    In my opinion, the news that comes out of City Hall should be that of city building, community building and progress. Not that of scandal, bridge burning and community dividing. As much as I am compelled with this news, I can't wait for this city to have a new, focused administration. Rob Ford...

    TTC: St. Clair Streetcar Right Of Way

    Thanks for checking my math. :p

    TTC: St. Clair Streetcar Right Of Way

    The length of 2 CLRVs is greater than one of the new streetcars. About 9 feet more to be exact. The issue of the curb cutting is something I've seen in all my years in construction. You have different grade levels and sometimes (most of the time) inept concrete workers who don't know a 1/4"...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I can't believe how quiet they are. The video at Bathurst station, you can clearly hear the CLRV. What a difference. I just hope the TTC rolls out these beasts with care and educate the public on what to expect with the new features. Both transit users and motorists.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This is my thinking as well. I mean, I don't want to sound rude or mean they started work on the excavation shaft in 2011, that's enough proof for residents and business owners that this is for real and I'm not sure if I can feel any sympathy if people cry foul not knowing it was going to be built!

    Transit City Plan

    Well Mayor Ford apparently popped into LeDrew live today for a surprise interview stating that "we're going to get a Sheppard Subway" -- so here we go again!

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

    I've been bypassing this mess by taking the 403 from Erin Mills Parkway to the 410/401 interchange. Sneaking on the the 401 by using the Express Lane on ramp from the 403.

    Spadina Streetcar Track Repairs (TTC, U/C)

    I believe they're just coming in for testing only. From what I understand it's to see if the prototypes are compatible with the current system, specifically the track layout and curves.
