    Toronto 1025 The Queensway | 149.6m | 46s | Talisker | WZMH

    I'm all for saving the theatre, and for that matter the neighbourhood from this haphazard, poorly thought out, load of a development proposal that would create more messes than benefits but c'mon now what's this non-sense: But if the condo towers go up, "that [sunset] will be gone, the skyline...

    Toronto 43 Junction | 117.5m | 35s | Diamond Corp | Core Architects

    They probably drive because the transit service is a joke along Keele. The 41/941, and 89/989 are inconsistent and jammed through the nose most times. Keele can get really clogged up between St.Clair and Dundas. St.Clair also gets clogged between Keele and Runnymede, while Dundas has it's own...

    Toronto 45 Strachan | 131.97m | 39s | BGO | Hariri Pontarini

    Welcome to UT, it's always good to see a new member. I'm going to use some of @ProjectEnd's photos below to describe why this build is truly atrocious: It all comes down to the quality of materials used and colour used for the cladding. The 2 colour tones of window wall cladding on the tower...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    On the note on survey's, there's another one out regarding the TTC's new CEO recruitment. Hopefully they actually listen so we can all, you know, avoid another disaster Rick Leary 2.0 scenario: https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/Updates/TTC-CEO-Recruitment-Survey

    Toronto 1230 The Queensway | 49m | 13s | Starbank | Turner Fleischer

    Much more appropriate scale for The Queensway compared to the two loads of garbage proposed close by on Kipling and Queensway. The parking ratio is not ideal at all, but asides from that I see nothing wrong with this one just yet.

    Toronto St Clair-Old Weston GO Station | 9.13m | 1s | City of Toronto | Hatch

    The actualy construction wont take 7 years, but the overall process to build straightforward stations are taking that long. Caledonia, Park Lawn, King-Liberty are other GO stations that are taking forever and will all virtually take 5+ years to be complete. Which is a downright embarrassment as...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    So that lasted what, just barely over 1 week? Speed restriction is back between St.Clair West and Eglinton West. There's really no more words to describe this mess. I've lost count of how many times this has happened with a restriction getting lifted only to be re-instituted, but we're for sure...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The TTC cant even operate service normally on a regular day, I can only imagine how much of a mess they're going to devolve into in 2 weeks.

    Toronto Y&S Condos | 130.77m | 38s | Tribute | Graziani + Corazza

    Tribute would be glad to have them as their ambassador i'm sure. Let's be honest here, the street level of this thing is horrifically bad, while the Yonge St and Soudan Ave frontages are an embarrassment. The rest i'll reserve judgement on for now.

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    This organization is pretty much a dysfunctional mess at this point. They virtually havent met most of their targeted restricted speed zone removal dates: Is the TTC Board going to hold them accountable? I highly doubt it.

    Toronto Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 2) | 283.6m | 85s | Menkes | a—A

    Ah so they've made it back just in time to round up the tri-annual dirt moving ceremonies. Now that they got all those reps in, they can increase it to a once per quarter rate next year.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Osgoode Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Unfortunately that's what goes as "preservation" in this province in 95% of cases. It's sad, but most politicians arent really serious about historical preservation.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I'm happy to see this is finally going ahead, but this is ridiculous how damn slow this process is. Literally almost a decade just to have streetcar cameras in place to enforce illegal passing? That's laughably pathetic.

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    It doesnt help that our governments at every level keep choosing to deal with inept firms despite them having clear as day evidence that they bungle projects up badly. These same firms then come back to these same governments asking them for more money to complete said project. [ie: At the...

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

    Part of the dispute (not the entire dispute) involves the TTC operating the line: A legal challenge, launched in early August by Mosaic Transit Partners, claims Metrolinx “breached its contractual obligations” by entering into a separate operator contract with the TTC to run the line which, the...

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

    Not necessarily the same from my understanding of it. Finch West lawsuit is tied directly to an operation dispute with Mosaic claiming they are supposed to be operating the Finch West line, not the TTC. So if it's tied to an operational issue, it would most certainly impact when the line could...

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

    Metrolinx is dropping the ball on every rapid transit project, it's their MO at this point. Crosstown wont open until 2025, Finch wont open until that lawsuit issue is settled, Hurontario who knows anymore, and the Scarborough subway extension is apparently having tunnel digging issues with the...

    Although he's only the interim CEO, looks like Percy (by his own words) is looking to make an effort to be more visble compared to the previous useless CEO Rick Leary: https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/percy-familiar-challenges-bring-new-opportunities-for-renewed-swagger-at-ttc Let's...

    Well look at that, we finally have some kind of a noticeable improvement. It only took how many months of ineptitude? October 17, 2024

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    A whole bunch of new wayfinding signage was being installed all throughout the station last night, so commuters passing through today would've seen them:
