Any insight into why TRCA opposes trees on FPLs? I often wonder why the area surrounding Corktown Common and further north near the River City condos don't have trees. Wouldn't tree roots eventually provide more stability to the slopes and potentially some filtration to runoff headed towards...

I think this might be a better and more efficient connection. There's already a connection to Overland Dr. Add a signalized intersection to Overland/Leslie and put a Multiuse path onto the West side of Leslie. The road is already wide enough to accommodate it without losing any lanes of...

I like that, would be a good connection to Kipling Station via Auckland Road too. I'm not usually in the west end very often, but was the other day and thought something similar would be useful on the Kingsway Hydrofield. I know there's a footpath there but has there been any consideration...

Sorry if I'm missing something but where is a grocery store being built in this area?

Major League Stadiums purposely orientate home plate away from south so that the batter doesn't have sun in their eyes when at the plate. This diagram of all MLB stadiums shows that none of them facing directly south or west: so changing direction is pretty much a non starter.

While I don't disagree that more trees should be added to Sunnybrook, replacing existing sports fields with them is not a waste of space. With many (all?) youth and adult recreational leagues cancelled this year the fields have definitely been underused but under normal circumstances all those...

I've long thought that Allandale station would be a great spot for a gateway to cottage country. While more bus connections is always a positive I don't think it would work for most cottage goers/campers due to the inherent nature that they are spread out across Muskoka/Kawarthas and beyond...

That is definitely a lot of density for that site and with the current road configuration it would be frustrating for any future residents who see it as a location with "quick access" to the 401. Currently there are no lefts from George Appleton Way to go southbound on Keele. I stand to be...

I noticed that the new Dundas bike lane has been added to Google Maps between Broadview and Sackville. But it appears to show Gerrard having bike lands from River to Parliament. That's an error right? I haven't had a chance to get there myself. I don't believe I saw Gerrard included in the...

I can honestly say I did not know who Henry Dundas was until the name change was being requested. If the road name does change I will not shed a tear. But I always saw the name Dundas coming from "the road to Dundas" (the town) the same way Kingston Road is named as the road to the city of...

I am equally skeptical for the same reasons. The one I'm watching to see the other shoe drop on is the Innisfil Uber Transit experiment. It already got too popular that it was costing more than anticipated. I will be surprised if it can continue to run long term. (sorry for going off topic)

Thanks for sharing that. It looks like the Atlantic south plant entrance would be in the same place. (I think I'm just going based on Streetview) but that a modified entrance would need to be provided for the tile shop and the business west of it. An access route with a bridge across West...

Coming Soon signs are up for A&W, Freshii and Circle K in the condo at Queen and Logan. I've also seen a floor plan that shows Osmow's has leased one of the units and that the corner unit in the old facade part has been leased for "Coffee"

Any idea on if that Badgerow Parkette redesign is still happening?

There's a banner outside the building that shows new retail in Winter 2020 Vivo Pizza and Pasta, a burrito place (forget the name) and lastly and most interestingly https://www.rockonclimbing.ca/

Walked by this building yesterday. The eastern most retail unit has a sign up for "Le Beau" Patisserie. Good to see at least one retail unit filling in quickly

I went by yesterday and there's a sign saying they're regrading the hill. I have been hoping for the last few years that when/if that hill ever got regraded they would regrade it with a large enough platform to add a multiuse path along the top of the hill. I haven't seen anything to suggest...

I disagree with your second statement, 407ETR might never exceed capacity, they increase the rates to maintain a certain level of flow. The main benefit of making the transitway is not only for buses to avoid highway traffic but for buses to not need to pull off and on at every interchange...

Nutbar is opening a new location in The Logan Condo at Logan and Queen. https://nutbar.co/ Nice to finally see what some of the new retail will be. There are at least 1 or 2 more spaces in that building and a few more in the the one on the west side of Logan. Anyone have any insight on what...

I'm really hoping to see a couple more in Leslieville/Riverside/Riverdale. Oftentimes at the end of the day all stations are at capacity.
