They kinda have by omission. Their 10 year Pearson Lift program announced in April, which includes $ billions in terminal and runway upgrades, ignores both the transit component and additional goals of expanded and combined security/customs areas. Plan B, a more incremental approach, has been...

It's possible they ignored the details and just did an end-to-end tuneup of any bike reported having issues. Bikes with one noticeable issue will likely have several more soon, so a full tuneup is probably useful.

Building out some type of court: based on the acrylic and mesh walls, I'd guess Padel?

Minor demolition started (Starbucks fence removal).

I agree that lines are moving well: they've clearly become more efficient or scaled up in some way.

That's a fascinating response. Q1 2024 numbers at Pearson were up over Q1 2023 for both domestic (2.6%) and international (11.8%) passenger counts. CATSA daily data updated to May 6th [multiple airports combined, not just Pearson] also shows most days have higher passenger counts than 2023...

Swiss are introducing an interesting way of doing roadwork without reducing capacity as much. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/mobile-bridge-swiss-road-repair

AFAIK, external lighting is part of the art component: https://www.concordpacific.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/CCH-Retail-Brochure.pdf

Hard to tell. The number of events and attendance seems to have recovered but occupancy and revenue are both still down. I guess they're shorter events (afternoon only rather than a full day)? Annual Reports (picked 2018/19 and 2022/23)...

Probably a change from 7 & 8 to platform 4 only, but didn't fully edit platform list.

Indeed. Thank-you for the correction. This was about fire services; I'm more familiar with ambulance.

Siren use, in all Ontario cities, are basically at the discretion of the driver. Their decision to use them is based on traffic levels, seriousness of the call, etc. Toronto at 3am still has traffic at many intersections. Hamilton is much quieter, traffic wise, in the evening. Most emergency...

There are laws to encourage that transition but it's not yet clear the European is fully onboard. A small bout of populism can easily delay the dates if not repeal them entirely...

They have a fairly strong growth curve within the BEV market in Europe, particularly Spain and France. The bigger question is will BEVs replace ICE. https://www.transportenvironment.org/articles/how-europe-can-use-tariffs-as-part-of-an-industrial-strategy

Common in Taiwan as you don't put garbage on the curb in advance. Truck stops regularly and you deposit your trash into it directly.

Land in Toronto, due to how MPAC assesses land, is usually taxed at its highest potential value (excluding yet-to-be-built structure value) regardless of what it is currently zoned for. It's why Yonge has been transforming so quickly through downtown: all those 2 floor shops were paying...

:) It's approved as a condo. @Undead was being silly. That said, this project is much larger than anything the developer has built before at a time when sales are unusually low so it may be a while, perhaps years, before construction begins. There will be an interim use of the land in some...

Generally I would agree that increasing capacity of the roadway by strongly encouraging higher density vehicles would be the way to go. However, with the expected near-future rail service to that specific location I think we might be better off encouraging transfers to GO services in places like...
