In 2018, they asked the public and the BIA what they wanted to do for downtown streetscaping. The survey FROM THE BIA came back as pedestrianise the Four Corners area. Same generally with the public. City staff rejected this. Ridiculous.

UW and WLU are a good example of the scheduling just assuming the passengers don't have luggage. When I used GO services to UW, I along with almost every other person going to/from had a big bag of stuff that had to go in the luggage compartment. It adds time!

They took it from the WaterfrontTO press release.

Nobody in the local dance music community in Toronto really likes Rebel, but unfortunately it's one of the few places with the capacity for larger dance gigs, and still somewhat central to downtown.

The 18 Dixie and 7 Kennedy have always been workhorses for Brampton Transit. They function like traditional commuter routes, taking residents to "blue collar" employment areas. The 18 particularly has always been undercapacity; about a decade ago I was part-time working at my dad's workplace at...

It's not exciting...but I don't think everything needs to be.

Oh this is interesting. They might try and segment based on different projects. The key one is the Parliament slip fill; basically if they get money now, they'll try and coordinate the right-of-way construction with that project...which has already started. This is attachment 2, where they have...

They've broken it down in the report, particular for Scenario 3, which is to split the project into three isolated parts: $932 million just to re-do the Union Loop, which, fine, if it's costing $1.5 billion just to expand Bloor-Yonge, this makes even more sense considering how much stuff is...

I mean, no one should be speeding in school zones, never mind municipal employees driving city vehicles?

The 2023 Official Plan is set to be approved on Monday. The whole agenda for it is here.

I mean this as a former Bramptonian who had to drive in Brampton: people in the city are *terrible* drivers; most people in the city deserve those aggressively high insurrance rates. Unless you really, really point it out, they're all going to drive in the BRT lanes because they are idiots.

Why are there no tables with chairs? I've seen my friends and family hanging out in this space all. Why did none of the team see how this space was being used and implemented that in?

I was just looking through their work and I was thinking this looks similar to Vauxhall here in London, and sure enough they worked on it. They also worked on the new public space and planning around King's Cross, which is a fantastic space that reflects an industrial past. Let's hope it...

Equinox and Salmon Run are really boring to me in this area. We're connecting city to nature, and they're both really clinical looking. I really enjoy Nda-Nwendaaganag to be honest. I love the nature, the steel element and the designs on the side of the building. I think it reflects indigenous...

Sideways writing is not ideal. It's fine for things that you can physically rotate like books and magazines, or even digital documents, but on something like this, it's difficult to read, especially for people with disabilities. I work in branding and communications and those are the conditions...

Just an FYI, as a dual Canadian-British citizen who works at a UK university - fees are based on residency, not citizenship. Your daughters would need to live here for three years to quality for UK Home fees vs International fees.

I won't say that time and speed isn't important, but vehicle capacity is the major transit issue along Finch West. A lot of buses, at least pre-pandemic, were showing up every few minutes completely packed to the gills.

I'm sure it's coming, but I expect Waterfront Toronto to probably distance themselves from David Adjaye. There are some serious sexual harassment allegations against him...and it doesn't look good that his victims' names were leaked to the media in Ghana. Quite a few institutions have already...

The Science Museum in London is not great either. It's very static in its exhibits and I wouldn't recommend anyone go there unless you are really into the history of the combustion engine. The Science Centre in Paris is really good as well, though it's also way out in the suburbs, much like...

Waterloo Region fought off an OLT case years ago from developers wanting to sprawl outside their Regional Plan's Countryside Line. Density and intensification has been the regional and municipal mandates for a decade now. It's part of the central tentant of the ION project to begin with.
