I think if you asked Bryant now he'd say, regardless of the legal issues, he'd rather have stepped out of the car and gotten his ass kicked than have it end up the way it did. I'm thinking also that the situation looks like Bryant won't be convicted because it'll be pretty easy to make a...

I feel bad for the courier, but to be honest I'm not sure what I would've done if an enraged bike courier reached into or onto my car when I was in it with my wife. I think unless you're in that situation it's really hard to judge this guy's actions. If he feels like he and/or his wife are in...

I think Dexia is moving mainly from TD Centre as is PWC. The pattern seems to be that growing companies or divisions with offices in a number of buildings want to consolidate their space so they become prime tenants in a new building. Their vacated, fractured space gets taken up by small firms...

I'm 100% sure it's not 2 floors below ground with 791 parking spaces. So I'd take the stats and description with a grain of salt. Looks like they got the co-op student to write this one up.

Cool thread idea. Definitely for me it would be selling booze in corner stores. I can walk 10 minutes from my place right now and eat at restaurants with food from 20 different countries, but I need to drive my car to buy a case of beer. Also, I would add a couple of more lanes to the...

So Ignatief kills the carbon tax, which would have been an a amazingly efficient way to encourage sustainable transportation, then comes out in support of an HSR line and now wants to be seen as promoting 'green' travel? Ballsy.

Kilmer is run by Larry Tanenbaum and is the same company that owns 20% of the Toronto Maple Leafs. This explains the rumour that the Cornwall service centre and the Leaf's first round pick next year have been traded to San Jose for a third line left winger.

Michigan U's exist (kind of) on University Avenue south of College and on Keele Street just south of Steeles. Although in this case I think they will need to be under traffic signal control due to the streetcar tracks.

Here's another thing I've noticed that's unusual in Toronto: The person you buy tickets off of in TTC stations is also a fair collector/ pass validator. Most other cities I've been to have fully automated entries into the subway system and a separete booth off to the side where tickets are...

What a fun thread idea! - All major public transit programs will be planned in the mayors office. TTC staff shall work backwards from the answer, determine the problem, and announce the mayor's idea is the ideal solution. - Escalators in TTC stations shall not be permitted to actually...

A cynic would say one of two things happened here: 1. The City knows SmartCentres is going to sue them for all the tricks they pulled to block the application and are looking to buy them out of the land in order to make the problem go away. or 2. The City has known all along they needed...

Another concern I would have is the City's poor performance recently in writing new by-laws. The new general zoning by-law for the City is extremely confusing and in a bunch of cases works against the City's stated goals. City staff clearly haven't worked issues through to a point that they...

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. Every project in Toronto needs bike lanes these days.

Yep, the ritz will be linked to the new PATH connection at the northwest corner of the RBC site / northeast corner of the Ritz. Not sure if the Ritz is provising a 'formal' path entrance from grade, I have a feeling it'll look more like the informal connections downtown. This will help...

Funny story about the PATH connections. The proper location for the PATH connection from a pedestrian standpoint is the central location (due to the location of escalators in the WSIB tower and a proposed future connection across Front Street to the Convention Centre). Unfortunately, the...

I assume the tunnel will be widened from its currently proposed 8 metres in order to accommodate bike lanes?

What's unsafe about the bike lanes on Sherbourne (300 metres away)? How will the Jarvis bike lanes be safer?

That's awesome. I'm sure it's the lack of pogo-supportive infrastructure that keeps me from hopping to work.

Am I missing something or is this a the false victory for the cycling lobby and true victory for the councillor? Councillor Rae wanted wider sidewalks and no bike lanes and that’s what he appears to have gotten. The shared bike/car lanes (3.6 metres) are the width of a normal car lane...

Thanks very much! Nice to see they're willing to do shallow stations.
