couldn't have said it better myself.

i'm with eug.. if it was already designated, that'd be a different situation. home owner rights man.

i still haven't finalized an opinion on this yet.. but what really gets me is.. how on earth is this going to create 600,000 jobs in ontario. first time i saw that was on the CP24 news ticker.. and thought it had to be a typo.

very cool shot. does anyone know what's planned for the boarded up retail space that once linned the south side? maybe just an expansion of the porter terminal? it never really took off, but i remember it was occupied for the first few years it opened. that hoarding has been up for so...

Mandatory TTC Metro Pass for all new Condos The City is now going to require all new condos, w/ 20 units or more to provide all units with a one year ttc metro pass as a condition of condominium approval. I'm guessing my opinion might be in the minority, but I don't like this. Sure, I...

can't remember exactly.. it would have been the around the 40th. it was tiny, triangular. big enough for only one chair and one or two people.

i was on a balcony there. on the southwest corner. would have been in late summer 2006.

That's 3 Church Street. Now, somewhat coincidently, home to Bousfields Inc (Planning Consultants) www.bousfields.ca and N. Barry Lyon Consultants Ltd. (market analysis) www.nblc.com

those wooden love seat beanches are classic. takes me back to going to see the Generals play at the oshawa civic as a kid.

once it is fully built out, I too don't think it will be so bad. i have a friend who lives there and visited her once. they are nice inside. but, on a saturday afternoon, the wait for the elevator was rediculous. I took me back to my university days.. there had too be over 20 people, not...

on a related rant.. i can't even get a facility approved that sells compost to farmers which is located in the green belt. compost facility needs new building with forced air and a roof to reduce odours. needs a cert. of approval from MOE.. MOE circulates cert of approval request to...

yeah.. good luck with that.. municipally initiated.. or forget it.. go talk to any director of planning and tell him you want to convert emp lands to high density res.. and let me know what response you get. section 6 - definitions Comprehensive review: means a) for the purposes of...

i live in oakville.. not to concerned about this. but what is OPG doing with the former lakview coal plant.. wouldn't that have worked? hey - in oakville - that's how we 'roll'. pardon the pun

hmm i know port credit isn't necessairly a 'true' TOD.. but i always guessed most live there for the go.. but you're probably right. in terms of affordable land.. they really just went were the tracks are. we all know there haven't been commuter rail lines are being planned.. just...

nice thread.. the comment on growth on the rails lines is interesting. I've always thought the GO station parking lots and surrounding areas would make great spots for TODs.. some areas, like Port Credit station.. this is happening. but look at the whitby GO station.. or oakville, bronte...

that's a ontario building code question.. not a zoning question. and that answer should come from your architect.. not any one here on UT

just call and give specifics.. even about your location.. every house has the potential for different zoning. they only will act on a complaint basis.. you don't have to worry about them following up down the road... i know this for certain. if you need to borrow money to start up, the lender...

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0802098843/ref=sib_rdr_dp not sure if you want to spend the $$, but there is a book i've been meaning to read by John Sewell. The Shape of the Suburbs - Understanding Toronto's Sprawl. I read his early book, the Shape of the City - Toronto Struggles with...

it all comes down to the mind set of the average person and family in ontario. developers and home builders are not the cause of sprawl. they may deliver the product. but they are simply responding to demand. it's what people want. the province also has to realize they can't really stop...

i have no problem with this. utlize a formal delagation process like every other municipal council. council meetings are long enough. and this guy abused the process. every municipality has to deal with one or two of these characters. don't get me wrong, i'm all for public...
