Its a good piece, outlining the largely irrational, over-wrought opposition to a cycle track here, and pointing out erroneous assumptions/assertions by opponents. **** At the same time, there are a couple of implicit things that are worth noting...... One is that scope of change in this...

Understandable, if curious after having just invested in sales office.

The Settlement Offer has now arrived at Council, on next week's agenda: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-251481.pdf Its quite curious........ It proposes to settle only the eastern portion of the lands, (not the existing office tower footprint).......then...

Which of their menu items have you tried, and recommend?

This one is before Council next week with a Settlement Offer.............seems a bit late in the game......LOL, but it covers the remaining blocks.........with even more density. The City Report is here: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-251449.pdf The...

At the OLT the proponent has made known that a revised proposal is to be submitted here. A Request for Directions report is on the agenda of next week's Council meeting and has the revised proposal attached. Report: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-251446.pdf...

The City solicitor has a report to Council on the provincial laws/regulations regarding bike lane approval and removal. The bulk of it is confidential as advice to Council but there is a useful public overview.......which does include some notable elements...

A report coming to Council next week notes that the province is trying to increase the bill to the City for the 5 stations in this program, again......... Beyond the 585M the City has already committed. The costs here, in my judgement exceed what is reasonable and credible for the work scoped...

This one is before Council to amend certain conditions around Residential Demoltiion permissions in the original approval such that demolition can now move forward. The intent is to advance the timeline on construction here. https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.MM24.19

You absolutely can and from the point of view of the tree being in dormancy, it can lower the risk of transplantation. Its not done all that often because: a) Many nurseries shut down for the year in mid-November and so lack the crews to dig the trees out and deliver them. b) Many landscape...

The above is really a near perfect example of why straight-up GDP should never be used as a measure. In any form, GDP, as with any statistic, is a limited snapshot. But to get anything useful out of it at all, it really needs to be Real GDP (inflation adjusted), per capita. In that context...

Some interesting details have emerged at trial...............from this piece in the Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-st-michaels-hospital-project-awarded-to-bondfield-over-objections-of/ What we learn above is that Derrick Toigo a current City of Toronto staffer...

On the height and interior changes........... I would note..............UT was first to find out about these............here: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-the-one-328-4m-91s-mizrahi-developments-foster-partners.18167/post-2137930 About 3 months ago.

It may; but keep in mind, there will be no change to the exteriors at this point, which is the largest chunk of 'sizzle' for the building, along with upper floor views. Also, it's not as if a building in this pricing category is likely to drop fit and finish down to laminate counter tops and...

Greg Percy out w/the following on the Signal Issue(s):

I'm not sure if that's scoped in this package or not. This work is being done by Mx under the Ontario Line works: https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1726862873/Images/Metrolinx/Fall_2024_Construction_Works_Notice_5_-_DRAFT_rev_Sep_19.pdf

Nope, still Sweeney. However, @1Ć0 had some sound math questions about the height.............and yeah......they boosted it a tad.........and.....definitely not a minor variance. @Paclo This is now 61s. New AIC Link...

That headcount, to my understanding, would include all of Alstom's staff (train crews and maintenance), as well as third-party consultants at HQ. The direct workforce is much smaller. For comparison, the TTC has ~17,000 direct employees.

Both Olivia and Greg Percy need to be at a news conference by this afternoon with an apology and some sort of explanation as well as assurance this will stop happening.

This unassuming street at the fringe of North York City Centre continues to see much assembly activity. @sunnyraytoronto Here, the Lobbyist Registry tells us that Capital Developments is looking to do something with 41-47 Hendon. Site as it is, per Streetview: Aerial Pic: Site...
