    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Does anyone have any reasonable timeframes for this RFQ, subsequent RFP and contact duration? I can speculate maybe: 3 months, 12 months, 6 years? Appreciate if anyone has something more firm.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    When is the technical zoning by-law amendment being put into law (i.e. is it scheduled)? Is someone from the City holding it up?

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Unlike most on here, I don't see this as a big deal. I'd be curious to know what element of the Building Permit that the City is having an issue with. But otherwise you can't fault a construction company for building as much as possible. While this is concerning for lenders, I don't think it is...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    GTAA hasn't undertaken a significant expansion program in awhile. I haven't gone through the financials, but do you see their fees coming down? Or are they keeping them at the same level (the carriers are not going away) as a means to help finance a future expansion? I assume then that YUL and...

    Thanks for posting! Looks incredible.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    How is Montreal and Vancouver financing their expansions? YUL's, in particular, seems to be pretty significant.

    Toronto 145 Wellington West | 213.05m | 61s | H&R REIT | PARTISANS

    I see the reaction this is getting (which is opposite to my own), and my thought was: it's only downhill from here.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    SFO isn’t particularly bad. Neither is Denver. Also, another thing that’ll weigh on a pax decision (beyond price) is the hassle of crossing an additional border crossing with all the joys of bag collection and then another outbound international destination. YYZ (and all Canadian airports) need...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Totally agree...why would they announce a future development through a tweet? Perhaps some aviation nerd will pick this up, but that's about it. Owing to the fact that this message was from the GTAA and there was a very specific reference to Pier G, I can only assume there will be 3 years of...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    1) I get that. What I am saying is that passengers have other options at the same fares. A lot of the middle tier American airports have decent terminal spaces and a lot of the larger ones are upgrading theirs. Hence why I pointed out that it is little surprise that YUL is seeing larger growth...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Thank you for posting these photos. I'm shocked that Pearson is going for the cheap-out on this. This will do little to attract Americans/Other Intls to use Toronto on their way to Europe/Asia. Montreal is doing a better job of setting the passenger experience in particular with its new...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    I am genuinely curious why there is so much discussion for the Pickering Airport? Did I miss something, or is this entirely forum-derived? Pearson isn't going anyway for the next 100 years (probably more). It's a fairly largely airport (compared to many american peers) with room to grow...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    For this to happen quickly, it would need to be with Ford. There is no way the City/TTC would allow this without the Relief Line being built first (and perhaps even the Scarborough-whatever-it-becomes). Then there are also issues related to fare integration and operating subsidy (among others)...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    A quick question everyone: why is it that Toronto Police do not investigate bike thefts? The reason that is always explained to me is: resources. But I understood that we are one of the largest police forces in North America with modest levels of crime compared to other like-sized...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    The thing that irks me about this plan is that it wouldn't have been that much trouble to insert a Lawrence station into the existing 1-stop alignment and then get set for procurement. But by lengthening it to Sheppard which includes crossing the 401 and figuring out a station footprint at the...

    Toronto Hospital For Sick Children: Patient Support Centre | 99.06m | 22s | Sick Kids | B+H

    I like the overall design. But unlike a lot of the comments, I wish the fins had more of a pop (like a red). It may sound harsh, but I think the yellow will just blend into the overall bland urban backdrop.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I agree this picture is very misleading and counter-factual. And it's received a number of likes.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Whoa!! Just saw the video. Amazing! I am can't help but get excited about this - seem quite transformitive! In terms lot area, is this the largest project in the city? It's too bad the Gardiner couldn't be done at the same time.

    Scarborough Town Centre Redevelopments

    Very cool. Although, I am generally supportive of this, I would think there should be way more green space, with less intersecting roads. That would set the stage for adjacent build-out west (past Brimley Road) and east (past McCowan).

    Toronto MEC Queen Street (Mountain Equipment Coop) | 21.03m | 3s | Parallax | Sweeny &Co

    Agreed. This is not appropriate for Queen Street. I liked the old location's outdoorsy feel. This just feels generic.
