@Allandale25 posted this clip of the Mx Board Meeting elsewhere: I'm not sure what's been reported out on timelines elsewhere and as a few are mentioned, I'm not going to search them all out. But I made these notes: 1) Caledonia Station (Barrie GO) on target to start construction by year's...

This is one is heading to Scarborough C of A @HousingNowTO drew this to my attention via a different proposal heading to the same meeting. This one has stayed steady on height...........but the form/massing is set to evolve as per the angular plane changes: @Paclo...

I think that's aggressive, as I note above. I support the proposal, and moving it through at an expedited timeline (something that should have happened moons ago, but we all know that story at this point) ..... But I'm not sure this is the right process track...... If this doesn't clear...

Thanks to @HousingNowTO for the headsup, lets grab the details from the Cover Letter: @Paclo **** Render from the Arch. Plans: Site Plan: I'm going to say here, I don't have any real problems w/the height or massing as proposed...... but I'm not keen on the path through the C of A...

I wasn't meaning to be insulting, you shared nothing from the article that couldn't be gleaned from the headline. Did, you note, btw, that I answered your question.

Before we get to that............ Did you read the article? It raises many important questions on issues of accessibility, fire/smoke risk and whether the change actually provides any cost savings at all, when the offsetting regulations are considered: (from the article) On the cost...

From the Planning Rationale Report we see a material change to the massing: You can see in the renders above that there is now a single set back rather than 3, removing the angular plane wedding cake tiers. @HousingNowTO may wish to make note of this ongoing practice of removing excess...

This one has had a resubmission in May '24. Still maintaining the innovative design overall, but some tweaks, as per the Cover Letter: @Paclo Renders: Site Plan:

There is nothing semantic about it. The area has added apartment buildings, so it has added people. The notion that because it hasn't added people on every single street/block there is a problem is a bit bizarre. People in apartments count too; I say that as someone who lives in one...

This site was the subject of re-submission late last month. We're still at 28 and 18S Site Plan: Ground Floor Plan: @Paclo

Somewhat. Most areas indicated have seen expansions in earlier years, with some advanced by one year, but it isn't 100% rigorous. Generally speaking stations are not opened in winter in any significant numbers, though a few did last year. The goal had been to deliver this year's expansion...

Except for that fact that the above is not accurate. If we review the census data for 'The Annex' in respect of population, we would find the following: Source: City of Toronto Neighbourhood profiles: "The Annex" 2006: 27, 482 2011: 29, 177 2016: 30, 526 Alternatively, if you take a tighter...

The pre- 9/11 standard was much as it is today if flying; for land border crossings by car, the standard was a valid driver's license, passport or other provincial or federal photo identification. * pre 9/11 much of that ID did not have associated online databases that were internet...

I shall endeavor. Not that I'm aware of...........there are no new documents uploaded, and there is no indication of any appeal to the OLT. This is a very dense proposal, there are lots of towers here. The only space not built on is parkland, or roads. Yes, there are townhomes on one...

That route, when it has evening service (none on Sundays, runs to ~10:30pm from the area of the station: https://www.timmins.ca/cms/One.aspx?portalId=11976429&pageId=13325333 So it would require 2 additional runs to service the departure slot. Conversely the service doesn't begin til 8:30am...

We'll kick this bit off looking at the Cenotaph from both sides: Looking back out: What can one say? There's technically nothing wrong here, the pavers are in good shape, the shrubbery is maintained; but I confess to being a bit underwhelmed. ***** Off to the right of the Cenotaph is...

I got there there yesterday, unfortunately, rather overcast.........but still, I have some pics and thoughts. Photos are mine unless otherwise stated and taken June 30th, 2024. Lets begin with an discussion of what the City says this space is............ and an aerial pic. Oh.....wait a...

This statement is a gross exaggeration, and I'm being charitable. Says who? I'm all for pedestrian streets, and Toronto will get more of them, including some small sections of Yonge....... That aside did you just forget that there's a night bus on Yonge that needs to be accommodated, and...

This proposal, which comes by way of the owners of the Mt. Norquay Ski Resort, is more than a little controversial. The train pictured actually doesn't have anything to do with what was approved, directly. The owners of the resort want an aerial gondola from this 1,000 space parking...

The horizontal seams in the above just make me cringe. I totally get they're not going to use solid limestone etc. Too bad. But....surely you can get a mold at that height for a one-piece, hollow, vertical tube w/the columnar appearance. Its not as if this is 2 storeys high....... why does...
