Btw, Iqbal Halal Foods is renting the space and does not receive any money from land sales. They only found about the expropriation when the yark location was announced.

The REM is being built at Chinese-like speeds... Some projects in the EU as well. This argument is tired.

Are you referring to the concrete? 🤔 I think it is the same shade everywhere. They seem to be using blueish/greenish glass on the stations and the trains are mostly black and white with some green thrown in on each side.

A guy went close to some of the stations and viaducts. He shows: (among other things) Point Claire Station Du Quartier and some of the trains at Brossard

It happens at least once a month for the dedicated lane-d ION. Also, your argument about busses is weird. Buses do get in accidents too. But that doesn't shut down bus routes as it does for rail. Buses can swerve and stop quickly to avoid collisions. Trains can't. Do you know how absurd this...

While it's unfortunate that the cost of expropriation has risen, would sitting on 1.2 billion worth of land be an opportunity to build things (or sell to developers who would) and make money off the land Hong Kong style? I mean, if you buy land and build under it, you still have that land's air...

Yet they handle more of the TTC's overall ridership than the subway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They are third class because of stigma, not facts. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-01-23/7-design-lessons-from-the-world-s-most-gorgeous-brt-stations

A friend of mine is renting at the Selby. They bought a condo at Via Bloor and will move there. No interrupted views for them. They moved there to watch the building rise. haha

Today

There was speculation, then reports, then a report on an official announcement (my link above), and then an official official announcement this morning finally. :p This morning's official announcement also detailed where the money is coming from: $300-million loan from the Canada...

We are not asking for ATC/full automation on the grade portions, we are asking for lights to turn green for LRT vehicles 100 percent of the time based on headways instead of almost never because it is based on 'if the train is more than 5 minutes late behind schedule' as cuurently set up.

It literally calls the station building as 'placemaking' And clearly shows the buildings are around the station, not on top. The land around the station is owned by Cadillac Fairview. That part was always going to be towers. Now the province wants to add another building on top of the...

The news is that they will put a building on top of the East Harbour station, which was originally going to be a 'landmark style' building.

Well I don't have the knowledge to go any deeper. haha I'll ask my friend if he has that pamphlet he mentioned left in their mailbox. Would be interesting to see if it is real.
