    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    You don't think those same suburbanites aren't going to get off at these downtown GO stations? They will no longer necessarily travel to Union if they don't need to go that far south. So it's still a trip across municipal borders and why the city of Toronto shouldn't have to pay for regional...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    haha I was going to say, as someone who used to work at Whites, I recognize that logo and it's parking for a shoot.

    Toronto 2 Carlton | 251.1m | 73s | Northam | Arcadis

    My dentist is in this building and I live across the street so I'm selfishly not looking forward to this one. I hate going to the dentist enough, but at least it's easily accessible and I like the dentist himself. Not to mention how convenient the Shoppers and Bulk Barn are!

    Downtown Yonge

    onge Street has closed down for the past two days in this section due to the investigation/clean up. It's cool to see the exposed brick beneath the terrible brown/black siding. Too bad it had to burn down for that...

    Downtown Yonge

    Walked by the old Freeman Formalwear store (which was currently for lease) and saw this. Bets on whether it was an insurance thing, or accidental squatter fire?

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    Well, it was snowing pretty heavily downtown so that's why there's snow on them. I assume that they were mostly loaded into the inside of the covered area, but they didn't all fit. And then when they carried them down the stairs they had to start with the ones that were on the inside because...

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    I assume, since there's no elevator, they were just unloading them there before carrying them downstairs and those are the last two...of all the TTC's faults, I don't think THAT's the one to get upset about. lol

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    Funny you should mention that, because I JUST took this pic. Was excited to finally see gates here after such a long time of hoarding being up with seemingly nothing going on behind it.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    John Tory has said his wife will only "let him" do two terms. Do you think that the SSE has gotten so out of control that when/if he wins the election, and he knows it will be his last term, he'll act like suddenly he's discovered all the facts and data (that we've seen all along) and cause him...

    Toronto 415 Yonge | 231m | 66s | Marwest | Kirkor Architects

    Oh man...I know living downtown means that a giant building can pop up at any time, but there goes my view from Encore at The Met :(

    Toronto Nathan Phillips Square + Spirit Garden | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    I get the aesthetic idea behind this, but the Sheraton is the only hotel with meeting rooms big enough to hold my work's Convention in Toronto. Sadly, this hotel is a necessity to attract events like this, so I don't want it torn down (unless something else is built first to replace it).

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    I was only speaking for myself unlike you who uses personal anecdotal evidence as if it's fact. Plus, the Scotiabank was just one example because I was on my way there. Believe it or not, there are many other places I go downtown way more often than the movies (of which I go pretty often) that...

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    I live right at College Station and I walk to the Scotiabank Theatre to save the $3.00 each way. If it was cheaper, I'd be more inclined to TTC it. Call me cheap, but I agree that they're losing my fare being a downtown person who avoids taking the subway to save money.

    Toronto Harbour Ferries

    Wait, we really officially have a transit service that makes the acronym "TITS" but Mr. Grabher can't keep his license plate? :P https://globalnews.ca/news/3681550/ontario-man-defends-grab-her-personalized-licence-plate/

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

    What's with the Scarlett Road rendering? Notice how if we go with the "NOT PREFERRED" grade separation, then a giant concrete building appears in the top left? Whereas, if we keep it on the ground, the block will stay as a nice park? I noticed a few others things like that, but that was the...

    Toronto Harbour Ferries

    I did the survey yesterday. My main point that I hammered was PRESTO! PRESTO! PRESTO! for the ferries.

    Just went through College Station and noticed that the turnstiles have been ripped out!

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    As someone who lives at Yonge and College, I'll take YTZ any day over YYZ plus UPX, and wish I could get more places from it. I don't need my European flights to take off from there, but it would be great if I had more options from the island.

    Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    As someone who's gay, I'd like to add my vote to get rid of the loud street preachers. I'm sick of hearing them scream that we're going to hell for being sinners. I have no beef with the duo that stands there with the "What does the bible really teach?" booklets because they just pleasantly...
