"oh I didn't know that" of some sort..

TJX just opened a new Homesense in Stoney Creek, not sure they would be itching for yet another in Hamilton. Who knows though. I do suspect that if they can't land Simons (unlikely), they will be looking at something more like demising it down for a Winners / Marshall and other midsized tenants.

I don't disagree. I just know that I have been in a car with someone multiple times who (somehow) had no idea.

my experience is a lot of people simply don't even realize you aren't allowed to cross the buffer. The province is reviewing HOVs - or at least a review was promised in the PC election platform. We'll see what, if any, changes come from that to them. Interestingly the speed change lanes on the...

The latest project update available here says that the western portion of the bypass is scheduled to start major construction in Spring 2026 with an opening date of 2030. Some other goodies in that PDF as well for those interested like landscape design, accomodations for active transportation...

because the USSR had no industrial capacity to produce trucks and cars. The USSR was producing only around 1.2 million cars in the 1970's.. Canada alone was producing more cars than the entire soviet union, and with 1/10th the population! People and freight used trains as there was no other...

The NHL dream was never real in the first place. I'm happy it's dead. Copps as you mention is too small for NHL, like it or not.

It'll look similar to the Harbour Plaza PATH connection under the Gardiner, squeezing right under the highway. It's going to be a very long bridge - ~250m long.

The city really needs to do something with Yonge Street, and soon. Even an interim lane diet until they can get over the bureaucratic malaise to actually do it right. It's an embarrassment right now.

The ambition here has been pretty high - I'm not sure what more you could have wanted. Hamilton is an 800,000 market with fairly low median incomes, even lower disposable incomes, and a small list of potential corporate box buyers (the real money makers). OVG is banking on overflow from the...

The fact that this is going to City Council and not just a contract posted on MERX means the transfer hasn't happened yet.

The article notes that Menkes is trying to advance the first tower of phase 2 as a rental.

I actually appreciate the parkette exposing the church from the corner - even if the "park" is uselessly small. The tower and especially the podium is comically horrible.

Hallelujah! This has been hanging around as the final touch for the great hall restoration for far, far too long..

I actually think it will be a lot less impactful if they can keep 3 lanes going to the Spadina exit, which depending on configuration *may* be possible. Without that, yea, it's going to be a complete mess.

And interestingly, that report identifies the Grand Magazine - York St part being planned for 2027. This would put it at the same start time as the Etobicoke portion of the rehabilitation.

such a low effort. Abandoning the existing heritage facade to rot in the MTO setback, all these useless anti-urban "Strata parks", nothing but residential and a token amount of retail at grade.. Where is the actual planning going on here?

It's not real so don't worry about it.

No but very close.

Yea it’s a joke. The problem is that passenger traffic has been so up and down over the years they’ve never been able to justify something proper. Hopefully if Porter can build a stable presence here they can eventually justify investment to build something decent. We know Porter isn’t shy to do...
