We wouldn't want those evil apartment dwellers to be allowed to lay eyes on..... a dumping lot and small factory? Man staff have really taken to the shadow and overlook guidelines as gospel. As someone who has worked in one of these factories I can tell you the old Italians and Portuguese...

Out of curiosity, what is the address of this first hold out building? I always like looking at the encapsulation of them on streetview

Surely those parking spaces are to replace the spots that will be lost during the construction of this plan on the current surface lots?

I believe for construction they have had to remove much more than just the footprint of the final station, essentially everything immediately north and east of the corner, and that will be placed back once the station is done.

For anyone curious as to why the TTC bus that serves this area is the third rendition of its route, the 110C, is because Islington Avenue was only extended to Lake Shore Blvd in 1978...

Ya no doubt a fuss will be made (I know a few people who I think might) but based on Morleys position on the Lake Promenade redev and the fact this falls south of Birmingham which is in line with her policy to preserve industrial lands only north of Birmingham I see this happening. Sure staff...

Mimico won't be a 'village' much longer

I mean 2256 Lake Shore is going to be 35s, 2313 Lake Shore is going to be somewhere above 20s, 2405 Lake Shore near Superior Ave is going to be 33s (or few stories shorter more likely but you get the jist) and those are all west of the humber. That's not even including the Mimico GO tower dev...

Everybody seems to have a story of waiting an inordinate amount of time at that despicable liminal space known as the Humber Loop. One day within the century we will finally wait for a streetcar in some beautiful cafe at the bottom of the finally completed Christe redev. And as for the Finch...

Fun fact about the now vacant lot, the Temple adjacent it to it spent a long time trying to buy out the lot of what I believe was a chinese produce importing company, but the owner wouldn't budge. Negotiations fall apart, and not too long later... place is up in flames. Temple got the additional...

Why is York like this? Their "BRT' lines that might see a bus once every lunar cycle is so far from capacity I cannot understand why they would not want to reap the financial and operational rewards of allowing out of service buses easier access in/out of their garages.

Using the MBTA as an example of anything other than what NOT to do is hilarious. Should we also start lighting our subway lines on fire?

Ahh I see now, yes that would be quite nice to have some beautiful public church grounds on Church Street

The interior planning of this project is so much nicer than the westside mall a stones throw away and creates a lot of quality car free public space. With westside mall it looks like we will be getting more 'tower in road' development similar to early Cityplace projects

Thread has been quiet for some time so I don't know if views have changed, but just interested to hear reasons this site should be parkland. I'd be happy either way and likely frequent the park if built, but this area is one of the best served downtown in terms of parks. Moss Park, St. James...

It is hilarious that the owner of the white rowhouse on the left decided they would rather live next to a crazy construction site literally around their whole house then cash out. People are peculiar.

Exactly my confusion, why is planning trying to downgrade a building that will undoubtably outlast the 'neighbourhood' behind it, soon to become as you said demolition fodder based off an MTSA that the city itself has created for provincial approval. Seems like there's a few people on staff who...

Ahh so we will likely see a line 1 extension to Barrie before seeing the final form of the Jane bus considering the current pace of RapidTO

I'm curious as to everyone's opinion on the splitting up of Jane bus, with the exception of the express route. Is the idea that the majority of riders on the route were taking the bus to the nearest rapid transit station and thus the crosstown connection provides a faster connection? Once the Eg...

What's the details on Lisgar Park being disliked? I don't know anything about the park/perception of it other than walking thru a few times and it felt quite gray and flat.
