What's your time period? 2025 starts aren't going to be very exciting within the 416. Maybe something with a hotel component (Freed Hotel and Residences?) since hotel profits are reasonable again. Forma West, the taller building, has a strong chance of starting by 2030. I think it's one of very...

The grade from Eastern/Adelaide underpass to get over the railway corridor plus the electrification structures (~13m above tracks) isn't trivial but isn't out of line either. In the past this wouldn't have been an option simply because provincial departments (whether Metrolinx, or Hydro, or...

Some Equinox centres use geothermal cooling. Reaching ground-water, effectively lake-water at this location, would not be very deep. For marketing purposes you might call that lake cooled. Enwave cooling does not go east of Yonge AFAIK, and most planned expansion is north/west of The Well...

You're not alone. The Fence Post Problem, it takes 2 posts to hold up 1 span and 3 posts to hold up 2 spans, is a common source of off-by-one errors in software.

Presumably it'll be start-of service on Jan 1st (~5am) rather than transitioning at exactly midnight.

Finch LRT does [Thales SelTrac, derived from the Vancouver Skytrain system] primarily to prevent bunching and provide transit control feedback. Being able to slow down the vehicles in-front of a problem is useful for preventing large gaps in service. I'm not sure about Eglinton but I don't see...

I might have eaten your share. Bought roughly 2 bushels over June and July, mostly from my local No Frills.

There are individual projects in northern China that are each equal to 1% of [2018] global hydrogen production which will bring that number up significantly. That said, they're also planning to use that hydrogen on-site for production of sustainable aviation fuel and methanol. Despite massive...

If they can meet the terms of your contract (completion date, price, unit layout/features, etc.) then you will be expected to complete the transaction. The developer will only terminate the agreement if the developer would be in breach.

Agreed. Also I expect part of a new FTA with Canada will be a requirement that we match all USA tariffs, both existing and future, to prevent Canada from being a route around their new global tariffs. If that's an ask, it'll be a very difficult decision for Poilievre as every other trade...

I still wish all cyclists would at least slow down when running red lights at 3-way intersections like Queen/Ossington. Having 80kg smash into you at 30km/h isn't exactly risk-free, nor is the pedestrian smashing their head on the pavement when they fall. I readily admit I creep through 3-way...

Excavating again:

The East->South and North->West curves (both lower left) have a number of daily GO trains. The West->North and East->North curves are CPs only track to/from western Canada (via Sudbury) which does not go through USA (via Chicago), so I expect they get used several times per day as well.

I wouldn't object if they used the 407 Busway corridor to head to Pearson, with intermediate stops at Unionville GO and Highway 407 TTC stations. Perhaps GO could run a few trains through that area too.

His 2018 campaign used various [inaccurate IMO] Toronto finance numbers as evidence of him being a fiscal conservative. In reality he's a spend-thrift in at least some areas. That's kinda my point with PP and this decades conservative populism trend: what they actually do may not match the...

Normally I'd agree but Ford really surprised me with free-spending even on projects guaranteed to be a substantial loss [including indirect benefits], and the public seems happy with it. PP may follow that lead to some extent: something equal to 10 years current VIA subsidies [~$7B] might be...

I'm trying to figure out how a guard at the end of the train who primarily observes the platform and train doors would have seen this, but 13 drivers in the front-cab with the clearest view of the track missed it.

Looks like they're taking up the concrete from the former park.

Almost certainly the people running keeptorontomoving.ca . During both the last municipal and provincial election they had plenty of lawn signs in Rosedale and Forest Hill. Many of the same homes hosted People's Party of Canada signs during the last federal election. Making some noise about...

Terribly exciting. This will be Metrolinx's first LRT/tram project to reach completion!
