That might have been more about some kind of contractual arrangement with Toronto Event Centre (the Horticultural Building). There was also mention of high costs mandated by union agreements, which I've also read as the reason given for there not being any real concert events (other than...

FWIW, This -- https://assets.nationbuilder.com/waterfrontforall/pages/877/attachments/original/1774560658/Oliver_Wyman_Jet_Operations_BBTCA-Infrastructure_Requirements-FINAL_1.pdf from 2015 claimed that -- along with other possible infrastructure requirements. Just for another comparison to...

If you mean YTZ (YTO is apparently the code "for multiple airports in the area, including those without passenger service". Porter uses it for booking flights on their website to refer to YYZ, YTZ, and YHM together as "Toronto Area Airports".) -- https://archive.ph/3ZTB2 scroll down to "How much...

Was that a real sign? I'm not sure it makes sense. What other platform? I didn't know there was a different one they could use.

I suppose the signs may have worked? The flock of pigeons seems to have decreased beside the FreshCo near the Bloor GO/UPX station.

Repeating this yet again -- Rogers is only the sponsor name of this venue. They do not own or operate it. https://archive.ph/WjAAr -- who are in the concert business. Maybe they could want some kind of more permanent concert venue there. But no one would or should just build a stadium and...

A coyote paused departures at Pearson this morning.

In the view of the Barrie line where it goes north toward the site of the Bloor-Lansdowne GO station, after the 'grubbing' there's more space on both sides of the existing track than I thought. I had assumed the new second track would simply go along the east side of the existing one. But...

I think that's extremely unlikely. For most of these projects, it seems some work is done, stopped, then nothing happens again for months. -View from window of passing GO train of site (former Value Village parking lot at St Helens Ave and Bloor St W). 04 Apr 2026 Dora Ave site

If people have forgotten in the years since then, look at pages 17 and 14 in this thread, or the Feb. 2020 presentation, for the renderings of the proposed railpath bridge to cross the Barrie line tracks.

02 Apr 2026 Barrie Line looking south, then north from Dundas St W bridge There's been another round of tree/shrub removal since photos from January 2026 and October 2025, and I think also some old poles from the west side of the tracks.

This mall can't even attract pickleball courts, like Cloverdale? https://www.visitfairgrounds.com/locations/cloverdale https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/pickleball-shopping-mall-popularity-1.7095865...

It's cruel and immoral to leave people with severe brain disorders out there wandering around on their own, when they are obviously incapable of caring for themselves, or are dangerous to themselves (or others) when they're staggering out into traffic or repeatedly climbing onto the subway...

If having the runway extend to the west would be better, the idea mentioned in the 2015 report to Air Canada was building a new runway south of the present one, which would then become a parallel taxiway, though that would cost more. Star article (https://archive.ph/3ZTB2), under "How much...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_World_London_City (btw -- Odyssey Airlines was the name of the proposed LCY-YTZ one, last heard from 10+ years ago trying to get money through crowd-funding.) Not a very strong case, if British Airways couldn't make it work between London City and New York. I...

FWIW, I've heard that people who bought tickets in the new temporary stands for the Canada friendlies happening in the next few days have been notified that their seat location has been moved out of those stands.

I would assume there may be other requirements. https://archive.is/DpT8A For one thing, you need a taxiway beside the runway, as not shown in some of the other images posted above. Otherwise the planes would be using the runway to taxi to or from one end, then turning around in place during...

As mentioned earlier in this and other threads, Porter's scheme from 12-14 years ago involved them potentially using a plane they eventually did not buy, the Bombardier CS100 (since renamed to Airbus A220-100) and a runway just barely long enough for it, and almost certainly by intention not...
