Or the cost, since the price-tag is inversely related to the delivery date. There's incentive in the contract to deliver quickly.

I presume they went into the tunnel believed to have something, like a weapon, and did not have it when they arrested them. St. George to Woodbine was a very long stretch to close for this.

Yes. They've recently completed a purpose-built rental in NY. I'm not aware of any in Toronto. http://www.iconmanhattan.com/

Bolton to Alliston seems likely at some point (20 year plan?) though just as a GTA land expansion rather than anything to do with the car plant, especially if Innisfill grows steadily. I very much doubt if they would try to connect into Alliston to Allandale via BCRY at any point in the future...

Fun fact, that size is perfectly doable in a tiny-home. I get to 562sqft not including closets or mechanical. https://www.ontario.ca/document/build-or-buy-tiny-home/building-code-requirements

Agreed. I think it's too late. It would have been much more interesting 5 years ago before TTC firmed up plans for their fan plant building at 830 Church.

None? It looks like trains carrying passengers will still using that portion of track, just not stopping at the station. That leads me to believe the tunnel isn't impacted. The notice also says bus service and the station will not be impacted. I guess that leaves the platform. So what work...

Some buyers wont be able to close with today's interest rates and others would back out regardless. If they ask for $1k then they might as well ask for $200k as they'll find themselves in a tough place. It seems safest to write-down the loss, trim the budget as much as possible (finishes), and...

Onxpress contract terminates in 2048, making nfitz's question very relevant. That's an 8 year window where we potentially go from a very congested trains on some lines to a new contract, through a flurry of station construction, a rolling stock order (many cars will be well beyond their best...

It's hard to be aggressive at closing the doors without risking a non-trivial injury to some slow moving elderly or disabled person.

Maybe. These microhouse plots aren't much different than what an affordable single-detached sits on in Tokyo. Big difference is in Tokyo they build to the lot-line and 2 to 3 levels tall (ladder, not stairs) to make 600 to 900 sqft. Ontario has hundreds of pre-fab (fits on a truck) mobile home...

Pickering refurbs of reactor 5 through 8 have been approved and funded. This is a timeline for Bruce/Darlington refurbishments. It''s not clear when Pickering will start. https://www.powermag.com/ontario-green-lights-nuclear-refurbishment-of-pickering-candu-units/ I presume this giant...

Hamilton probably would do better with BRTs on 2 to 3 parallel roadways each running 5 minute frequencies. A single LRT is quite a bit cheaper, both to build and operate, than multiple BRT routes of similar combined capacity. Finch had very few alternatives to provide additional capacity seeing...

Indeed. It's not even the first agency in Canada to have requirements like that. UP Express had similar requirements.

That was my point. 95% of Amsterdam architecture isn't particularly unique or inspiring. Amsterdam-inspired, without the highly selective rose glasses, would be a downgrade from what Toronto typically gets.

Tourist district Amsterdam. They also have lots of 4 floor apartments with abundant parking that would have fit in fairly well in Regent Park 20 years ago. The roadway structure is what really differentiates the bulk of Amsterdam from mid-rise Toronto.

They suffer until they break. Prepared regulars bring tents, battery powered fans, and coolers full of ice. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2023/aug/13/extreme-heat-a-test-for-youth-baseball/ I found this question interesting so took a look. I had expected to find a November through April...

VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) industrial heat pumps are quite magical and will probably be standard equipment in 5 years (alongside natural gas). They put heat where you want heat (water boiler, etc.) and cold where you need cold (elevator mechanical rooms). In spring/fall you can move heat...

Everything Metrolinx does goes through the Minister of Transportation office. They're legally not allowed to make a press release of any kind without it being vetted. Mike Ford probably didn't know about it in advance, but he's in a very different department.

Commercial real-estate in Canada (Ontario really, each province has separate rules) is extremely flexible, nearly the exact opposite of residential tenancies. There are few rules or guides. It's entirely based on what is in the lease contract, and you can be quite creative like using profit...
