    Toronto Ontario Line: Pape Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Was literally about to say this 😂 At 27 billion we better be getting our own curved glass elevators and parametric patterned GFRC cladding

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I wonder when we will get to see station renders?

    Downtown Brampton Streetscape Revitalization | City of Brampton

    I joke to vent frustration but good for Brampton in all honesty. Brampton will likely be the centre of population growth in the GTA for the next while and its good to see them trying to create more of an urban city centre. In spite of my frustration, I remain hopeful Toronto will see momentum...

    Downtown Brampton Streetscape Revitalization | City of Brampton

    Can Toronto just amalgamate under the City of Brampton please? Maybe then we will finally see construction start on John Street.

    Toronto Woodbine GO Station | 14.01m | 2s | Metrolinx | GHD

    I really hope the surface parking is interim. Metrolinx continues to drag their feet on any meaningful TOD around GO projects, while they have been doing excellent TOD planning for the Ontario Line. I don't get it.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Yongetomorrow is only going from Queen to College in the current RFP. I don't think theres been any mention of College to Bloor anywhere by the city.

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

    So upon further reading, I get the sense that the federal govt will be the deciding factor on whether jets are brought to the table. I think Toronto/GTA proper would benefit greatly from having a second airport for longer ranged USA/latam flights but I don't know if Billy Bishop is the place to...

    Toronto 522 University Avenue | 232.35m | 64s | IA Financial Group | WZMH

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

    Ok so I moved to Toronto after the Billy Bishop jet airplane debate in the early 2010s - are jets completely dead in the water here? Or is it possible that gets brought back to the table with opening up the tripartite agreement again?

    Toronto East Harbour Transit Hub | 14.35m | 1s | Metrolinx | Metrolinx

    @Frankietls any design updates here?

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    I don’t think anyone is arguing that single stair is a turn key solution to affordability. If they are, they should not be taken seriously. Most of the arguments for single stair I have read focus on increasing housing choice, availability of land that can be developed, as well as increasing...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    We certainly have the fleet size to achieve economies of scale if a retrofit was undertaken.

    Guelph-Cambridge Initial Business Case - Battery Multiple Units now proposed

    BEMU gets a lot of backlash in transit circles but this is exactly the type of route/service where it seems like it would work great. Excited for this

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    The media should be making a frenzy over this. We will not be able to realize an extensive bike network if we put up with insane costs like this. Im just confused more than I am angry. How is it this expensive? This might be the worst case of public overspending I have seen in this city.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    https://www.renewcanada.net/toronto-and-the-federal-government-to-fund-west-toronto-railpath-extension/ I know I complain a lot about construction costs on this forum but I can’t help myself here: $148 million seems outlandish for just over 2km of bike path. I know bike bridges are included...

    Yonge Street Revitalization (Downtown Yonge BIA/City of Toronto)

    I don’t have a good feeling with Parsons leading the design here. Their Landscape portfolio is mostly tacky UAE, Saudi, and Kuwait auto-dominated public realm. Literally pavers in a wavy pattern with a few palm trees and call it a day. They seem to have zero experience with major streets in...

    Toronto 50 Eglinton West | 194.2m | 58s | Madison Group | AUDAX

    God forbid we have shadows over parks when every year breaks a new heat record.

    Multiplexes

    Overheard two people in Timmie’s talking about moving forward on a couple rental multiplex sites in the city, planning to apply for cmhc funding. It’s cool seeing policy changes you read about intersect in real life and have a real impact in the world.
