Have you spoken with the Canadian and American Green Building Councils (CGBC/USGBC)? Beyond that I have no idea.

Is the Hamilton LRT considered suburban?

I've always wondered where New York's "Oakville" is? Not so much as distance, but housing stock suburbia. There's quite a bit Eastward through Long Island, New Jersey seems to be too built up/dense, and Norward into Westchester seems to be too rural.

I've been looking around, and the redevelopment seems to be PURELY residental as it was before. Is this the case, or have I just not looked hard enough? Without giving people who don't live there a reason to go to the area, the area COULD fall into the same problems as it did before (ie...

Its more like Baltimore (with Toronto being DC; albeit with DC being about 4 times bigger and the commercial capital).

I know someone who lives on SW Landsdowne/Dupont, and they have never felt unsafe. She walks from the subway (apparently only a 10 minute walk or so), and often does it at night. She does rent, though the factory on the Northside I believe will be condos. They building current building is...

Tiger-cats are older. Argos are from 1873, Tiger-cats evolved out of the Hamilton Tigers from 1869. They are the second oldest though.

Okay, I've read this whole thing now (bored at work), and now I can do my idea. Immediately, toll the whole thing, from 427 to 401. Can make it fairly expensive too since if people find it too expensive they will find another route (hopefully transit), and if they can't complain about commute...

Yes, I understand that the province will be paying for 100% of the LRT that runs along main street, which is good because the city probably wouldn't put any money towards it if they had to and just maintain the status quo.

Hamilton recently rejected a motion to increase density in the downtown core to a goal of 400people/hectare because it would undermine the city's plan for sprawl out by the Hamilton Airport and Binbrook area.

Are the fat lines with hollow point signfying underground, while the thin line with fat dots signifying on grade? Also, I think LRTs should be labelled as by letters rather than numbers (just so that we don't use "0")

I really like this map. Some things I would change though (money less of an issue), would be to make both spadina and waterfront as subways. Also, extend spadina further north probably; as well as extend waterfront further east to go through the portlands (which will see big development in the...

You could do a lot of damage to Toronto's density by adding 2 or 3 or even 4 floors to the existing arterial roads (think Bloor, or Quenn, Rincesvalles and Danforth). Most of these buildings are only 2 floor right now (1 floor for retail and 1 floor residental). Adding another couple of...

Portlands! Portlands! Portlands! It can be our version of Canary Warf or even Chicago's Loop. Of course, it would be necessary for any new downtown sybways to run under the area.

More: A handful of the tax collectors, however, were outraged by the systemic sorruption of their business; it further emerged that two of them were willing to meet with me. ..... Tac Collector No. 1: He just took for granted that I knew that the only Greeks who paid their taxes were the...

Okay, this is from "Boomerang" by Michael Lewis (aka the moneyball guy), and he explains greece's problems pretty well: I'd arrived in Athens just a few days earlier, exactly one week before the next planned riot, and a few days after German politicians suggested that the Greek government...

hahahaha. I love how Texas isn't even part of the Republic of Texas.
