    MacMillan Yard

    Technically outside of Toronto, but only a few meters away from the last TTC stop on Line 1 so... I present to you the massive CN MacMillan Yard. 3 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide. Mighty impressive.

    Toronto Street Widths

    Too bad these are roads for cars and not bike paths. Toronto shouldn't be paving any new roads for cars at all. We should be phasing out all the roads for cars we have and turning everything into bike paths or streetcar tracks. This is so disappointing to see. This whole development should have...

    Ontario Science Centre - Pedestrian Bridge

    Wondering if anyone on this forum has any insight into how long it might be before the pedestrian bridge that joins the top of the Science Centre to the all the main halls will be back open again. Currently (for the last year) they've have shuttle busses ferrying everyone up and down. I...

    What are they building on the Bayview Extension at the Prince Edward Viaduct?

    Tried to find this on google and in the forums but couldn't. Looks like something interesting going up on the Bayview Extension, west side. immediately on the north side of the Prince Edward Viaduct. They poured gravel and graded the whole site and now they've got concrete barriers all up.

    DVP Off Ramp to Bayview Northbound - Nobody Yields

    Who would I write to to suggest that either more yield signs be put up at this merge or just get rid of the yield signs altogether. Because nobody ever treats this as a yield. Traffic exiting the DVP absolutely just tries to merge onto the Bayview extension northbound instead of stopping if its...

    Bayview Closed Between Rosedale Valley Road and DVP Ramps

    Signs went up for this today. Starting September 11th till the end of the month every night till morning. But the road is brand new and in perfect condition. Anyone have any info on what's getting done? Also, where can I find this out easily in the future?

    Which Toronto Councillors Have The Most Power?

    Define 'power' however you want. I'm curious which ones are responsible for the most important decisions in the city? Which ones sway the future of big projects and have the biggest impact on us as a city. Not just their individual constituents. Love 'em or hate 'em, which ones are the...

    Roads: Bayview Extension/River Street

    I searched and couldn't find a thread dedicated to this major resurfacing and mixed access project so hear goes. They finally resurfaced River today between Gerrard Street and Bayview Extension. They've also added lovely planters in the middle median on the decent. Which was a very nice...

    Construction on River Street?

    Pylons all up and down River Street between Bayview Extension and Gerrard. Does anyone know what's about to be done? I drive this street every day. Tried to find info on it on City of Toronto website but can't get any info. Thought I'd ask here.

    Poor Road Patch Job - Who To Contact?

    There are many experts and connected people on here, so I'd love some advice on who best to contact regarding roads that have been patched poorly after they've been dug up for utility work. I know some people will think this is silly whining, but it really drives me nuts when a freshly paved...

    Should Construction Workers Get Free Parking?

    They drive all the way in from who knows where in their big private pick-up trucks (nothing to do with the job.) They have to work hard all day. Shouldn't they at least get free parking in the heart of the city? After all, parking is expensive. Why should they have to pay for it like everyone...

    Do Construction Vehicles Have to Wash Wheels Before Entering Roadway?

    River street from just south of King (I guess technically Lower River Street) all the way up to Dundas was absolutely covered in mud today. Like really thick mud all over the streets from dump trucks leaving their construction sites at Regent Park and at West Don Lands area. It was out of...

    New Traffic Calming Measure - Impossibly Narrow Streets

    Are the new streets in the Canary District missing No Parking signs, or is this a new traffic calming measure? Although you can clearly see that although this a two lane road, it is absolutely impossible for two cars to pass each other in either direction. Better still if two cars meet...

    Pan Am Path?

    What is it exactly? Is it permanent? Or just a renaming or other paths while The Games are here? I was out of my usual ride up the Don bike path and I noticed this curious new red line along the path in sections, not everywhere mind you like the blue/green line of the Martin Goodman trail but...

    I CANNOT believe this heritage building is about to be torn down!

    I'm as pro-development as the next guy, but this is insane. Have we learned nothing from the demolition crazy decades of Toronto past??? This is happening all over again. What can be done to stop it? It's in Wong-Tam's district. I've already emailed her and John Tory. Looks like it's going...

    Don River Flooding

    I've lived in Toronto for over 40 years and the constant flooding we get around the lower Don River after a big thunderstorm is a relatively recent phenomenon. Why is this? Does the river need to be dredged? Is there a blockage somewhere? Why is nobody on top of this?

    Where Does the Snow Get Dumped?

    Watching snow getting loaded into dump trucks today and hauled away. Curious where does it all go? Anyone got a complete map of the different dump sites for it based on where it's collected in Toronto? I'm guessing the downtown snow maybe goes to The Spit, but it's closed at night...

    Does Construction Take Too Long to Complete in This City?

    *** EDIT *** This question is only in regards to road and infrastructure construction. Not private condos. I hear lots of people complain that projects drag on way too long in Toronto compared to other cities. People not only complain about the amount of construction, but that it shouldn't...
