    Niagara Falls 5234-5284 Ferry Street | 113.09m | 30s | K2 Group | JP Design

    I'm not an architectural aficionado, but it looks decent enough to me. I know others will disagree. I would give it a 6-7

    Ajax 425 Bayly Street West | 193.24m | 60s | VanDusen Realty Holdings | Icon

    Could this be a proposal that's asking for the sun, moon and stars in order to see what they get? I see a development built here eventually that's maybe half the hight and far less dense.

    A reasonable Niagara development that actually might get built?

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    One skit from the Royal Canadian Air Farce I remember was when they parodied a speech from the throne in the Mulroney Era. It went thusly; Good thing, good thing, good thing Good thing, blarney, boast, bull sh*t Greatest Government in the history of Canada! Replace greatest government in the...

    Toronto Woodbine GO Station | 14.01m | 2s | Metrolinx | GHD

    I seem to recall somewhere that the track/switches and signalling make it next to impossible for UPX trains to stop at Woodbine and be able to get over to Airway junction. Greater experts than I can confirm or dispute this recollection.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Regarding the discussion of what's offered and the operating hours of retal at Union, I thought the high level concept of the retail offerings was to service the passengers going through the station as well as the population in the immediate surroundings of Union. Overall I thought the daily...

    I can picture with how Metrolinx operates, this is exactly what is happening

    I know it is better business to have the railways abandon underused subdivisions and not just keep them for a "what if" scenario, however when the "what if" happens an alternative route looks very business savy. Good luck to CN and the grain farmers.

    Hindsight is always 20/20, but I wonder if someone is kicking themselves for laying off crews during the hight of the pandemic.

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    Is the disconnect due to waiting for the replacement busses destroyed by the fire? I was assuming that DRT was constrained in offering service due to the lack of busses from the fire.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The current Director of Customer Protective Services has neutered the department so much, the officers are pretty much there to say Stop or I'll say Stop again. Yes we don't need a Gestapo wandering the train arresting every litterer or minor offender, however the pendulum has swung to far to...

    General railway discussions

    I am just curious, does anyone know how CN/VIA has been dealing with the Jasper fires? Are trains just holding until it is clear to proceed or have the been re-routed somehow along CP or some other CN line?

    Starbucks

    I know this is a Starbucks thread, however just to add to the discussion on the late night hours of coffee shops, one Tim Hortons in Port Perry will return to being open 24hrs starting next week. This will be the first time this location has been open 24hrs since before Covid.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    With @crs1026 's post above, I know the railbed and tracks will need major upgrades, but in my humble opinion, I would think an Uxbridge extension would be a realitive "quick win" project. I'm not an expert but compared to other GO expansion projects, I would think it would be a realitivly...
