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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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)...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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).
