Hey everyone. . . I'm looking at doing a GIS certificate program because as most of you Ryerson grads know, A B.URPl does not prepare you to do anything in GIS. I need to top up my knowledge and am realizing that there is no shortage of options. I'm wondering if anyone out there in UrbanToronto...

Presto hasn't been working at Queen's Park station for a few weeks now - is it just my card or is it the actual reader?

I'm really enjoying the resurgence of this thread! I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the intercity bus industry, and I'd like to write my final research project (Ryerson planning undergrad; I'm sure there are a lot of you around) about Ontario's bus regulatory framework. I could...

It's funny that you mention North Dundas because I know a planner there through family and I went to high school there. I'm much more interested in working in a city, if at all possible, even if it's Fort McMurray. I really wish I was getting bombarded with job listings but I'm a 3rd year...

It's that time of year again, folks. Do any of you experienced folks have any tips for students that are looking for a relevant planning job for the summer? It seems like fewer places are hiring students than ever. Do you know of any municipalities that are looking especially hard for...

Me want trader joe's

Hey - I took this shot from my living room today; forgive the picture; I assure you that's not a Photoshop filter, it's just a picture that is zoomed in much more than it should be. So what's that to the right of the shorter tower? I couldn't see it in any renderings but it looks like a...

Oh Cashmoney, you scavenger of human misery.

Now can they afford to do something with MLG?!?!?! At least it won't be derelict anymore this year - it's being featured in Nuit Blanche, and MATT DAMON will be visiting for the One X One gala, some obscure charity event...

http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/schedule/pubsched.aspx?table=21&direction=0&day=1&page=4&New=&station=&zone= Why do people insist on wanting to take trips that are too long for their modes of transit? Riding a subway from MCC to Union would take forever! There's no practical...

Ditto! High-margin, too-big, depressing decor, not interesting in the slightest. I went into the Bay at Yonge and Queen the other day to go see the Arcadian Court, and had to wander through 7 floors of boring crap being bought and sold by bored people in a boring place. It's such a beautiful...

Does anyone else drool uncontrollably when they see this picture? Of course, we all know that's not how it's going to end up, but, jesus, what a vision.

F*%#$n right! That's what we pay these bureaucrats for!!

I'd like to see some sort of detailed discussion of the wrought-iron staircases of Montreal and how there are none to speak of in Toronto. Someone write that up, chop chop.

No, I went to the last thing here and it was totally not bad. Ten minutes tops. from hwy 7. Don't forget that you can take the GO to Langstaff and switch to the VIVA for only 50 cents. And you can try out that new multi-million dollar pedestrian bridge they built. And also, the train trip up...

I just had an epiphany about this, but it looks like several people have beat me to the chase. But in the first phase of this route, why bother running all the way down to the lakeshore? The Finch LRT line could lead toward the airport like CDL's proposal, run past the congress centre, and then...

This is beautiful and elegant. I can't believe no one has thought of this before, or that I haven't thought of it. If Toronto wants to develop a transit network, rather than a random collection of routes, this is the way to do it. It could be interlined with the finch west lrt or it could just...

Giant Tigers also vary from location to location, but the larger ones have huge food sections, with produce, dairy, bakery goods, and everything you need to survive, really. At rock bottom prices. Oh, well, the reuse of a building I don't mind. I thought T&T had it built themselves. God...

As much as I hate to see No Frills go, if developments of this perfect density keep happening, can you picture Port Credit in 20 years? I picture it as being awesometown, to the max. I would go crazy if the retail space ended up going to No Frills anyway. And I think I would have to move out to...

Imagine if it was Aldi and/or Trader Joe's?!?!? I would seriously faint.
