https://www.metrolinx.com/en/news/tunnel-construction-begins-at-bloor-and-dundas Construction has finally begun. The next question to be answered is, how long is this going to take?

Ah, I never noticed that it was fenced along that entire corridor. The condo north of Lappin and the Ubisoft parking lot might open up for the convenience of residents and employees, but a public access point makes a lot of sense. I stand corrected. I can see why people want this access point...

I live in the Junction Triangle and I don't understand the fixation people have with this connection. If you walk or cycle, you can get to the other side through Campbell park, which is adjacent to Antler. If you drive, just go to Wallace. By car, that's not even 20 seconds. Last year, when the...

Oh I know! Now imagine how much worse it will be if you have pedestrians getting priority crossing with a crosswalk here. A crosswalk is not needed here. If there is access to the subway through the new concourse on the east of the road, what would a crosswalk add?

I generally agree and strongly support more transit/walking options but please look at the map below. The orange is where the current stops are. The magenta is where the supposed future stop will be. This isn't reasonable and it not only affects cars. The streetcar and buses leaving Dundas West...

I hope that's not true. There's already a traffic stop a little North at the FreshCo on top of the traffic stop at the intersection of Bloor and Dundas. A crosswalk at the new path with the amount of foot traffic here would make this area undrivable.

The number of people who jaywalk at this intersection is disturbing. This little walkway is going to be a big quality-of-life and safety benefit for the area.

Large organizations with diverse stakeholders have to process-ify decision making, otherwise you get little despots that run everything. It was a little surprising to wake up one day to discover that the city was moving forward with renaming one of the most well-known landmarks in the city...

They tore down the little house on this lot in short order. Looks like construction will begin shortly.

That's exactly what I'm getting at. Both levels of government recklessly used up all their ammunition before COVID so that when COVID came around the only option was to engage in extreme quantitative easing, which we are now paying for in inflation and higher interest rates. Raising the minimum...

If I may throw another wrench into this complex problem, another consequence of higher interest rates beyond mortgage affordability is the impact it has on debt serviceability for our provincial and federal governments. In the run up to COVID, both levels of government were posting yearly...

I work in the construction industry and many of the industry partners I work with are cancelling projects, delaying them, or working with the subtrades to find efficiencies by deviating from the spec. It's sad to see this project shelved until they find a buyer, but I get it. Construction prices...

to be honest, I'm surprised the owner still want to develop an office with how high vacancies are. The land may be zoned as employment so it may be too big of a hassle to rezone after the drawn out process of getting this permit. Who knows.

Better late than never. Permit was issued back in July. I haven't seen any progress on this project yet, but I will keep people posted.

I think the best solution to this problem is to offer a "value-added" service for using the Dog-Off-Leash Area. They need to entice people to use it, otherwise, why even bother? One possible option is to put play structures for dogs that dog-owners would be excited to use (see below)

I wonder if this development at all changes the possibility of a new Western platform to service the Milton Line.

I'm curious to see if they'll install the pedestrian bridge as part of this project or if they plan to do it for the Lansdowne GO station project. Also, the SPAR Marathon roofing warehouse needs to sell if we want to see a staircase. I wonder if they're waiting for all of these projects to...

I don't see where they could put a staircase if they put a pedestrian bridge. They would have to knock down the roofing supply store to find the room.

It is costing Metrolinx $50M to create a concourse connecting the GO station to the TTC, and a lot of the work has already been done already. I can't imagine the ROI is there for the owners of the Crossways to construct another concourse.

Looks like it's going to tender
