Another insight i'll add to this which I find interesting is this; they didnt fully excavate the site when they were demolishing the old LCBO warehouse so in essence, some of the old foundation is still underneath where the road extension would run. So if they dont plan on excavating the site...

Contrary to the developer's name, their developments around King and Dufferin certainly wont be lasting for a Lifetime. Lifetime should rebrand themselves to Defect Developments.

One thing is for certain, they certainly arent working on Phase 2 of the Menkes development as they havent even launched sales. It must be prep work for the road extension, which is odd because they've been in absolutely no rush over the past few months. They've had people work on it for a few...

It's really too bad TAS doesnt plan on moving on this anytime in the near/foreseeable future. Unfortunately I dont think this will ever be built as currently envisioned, but hey maybe they will strike on some gold soon.

The Toronto Harbour Commission built tracks along Queens Quay from the CPR’s freight yard north of Fleet Street (around Fort York) to CN’s Don Yard just west of the Don River. CN didnt want the TTC to operate streetcars between Fleet St and the Portland area so they deliberately installed...

Another fun fact, there are still tracks (albeit not streetcar tracks) lodged in right at Yonge and Queens Quay. There's interesting history on that in and of itself.

They were effectively 100% useless this past Monday and Tuesday.

The other $29 billion is for the entire country spread over the next 10 years (~$ 3 Billion/year). While it sounds like a lot, it's not as much as you think from a public transit infrastructure perspective.

Well on that same train of thought, let's hope they dont fund TTC bus orders without more density along every line as well right? And also let's hope they dont fund buses in Mississauga, Oakville, Hamilton, Burlington, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Pickering, Ajax, Aurora,Oshawa.....

I'm just jumping for joy and cant wait for RioCan to build some more junk over at Yonge/Eg! What a joke.

I believe 2026 is the earliest that any funding will start flowing out the door. The Feds can approve on whatever timeline they want, but the money wont flow for at least 2 years. Par is the course with this government delaying cash flows for basically everything.

Canderel....you're just joking around right?

If this one survives, I expect the Canada Public Transit Fund to be cut by 50% at minimum. And that's me being optimistic, I fully expect for the fund to be cut in full and for Pollievre to revert to Harper's model of "we'll make an announcement when we feel like it and that's your funding"...

Ughh why cant this just be 2 separate towers attached to the podium if they're intent on going with this design. Or at least attempt to marry the east and west balcony treatments together in someway if you're going to stick with the current iteration.

Skeptical on this one i see, why?

Oh great how convenient!: Funding will begin to flow in 2026, but we are opening the intakes for Metro-Region Agreements and Baseline Funding today, so that we can provide transit agencies and municipalities with the funding certainty they need to advance projects now. So essentially, with the...

Well it seems like people are content with the government pissing away $1 Billion to bring more booze to supermarkets and convenience stores a few months quicker than planned. So I mean, whats $150 million for them? But in any case, it doesnt matter for the case of the Eglinton Line which...

Yeah....they ruined this with the grey precast panels. It was looking promising, but then they had the idea to do this?

Not happening.

This is still under the watch of the City's construction planning team, MTO hasnt taken over oversight of this project. However with the other phases of the rehabilitation project, that will change.
