There is a GO station being built at St Clair and Old Weston, so about a 10 minute walk north of this site.

I also live in this area. The traffic isn't that bad in my opinion. I've very rarely had to wait for anything more than a traffic light to change, unless there's construction. I generally bike/walk/streetcar/bus everywhere, when I can, and only drive when necessary. I do wish there was more...

It does continue to astound me that the province/city put so much money/time into speeding up the Gardiner construction, while letting all of our transportation infrastructure projects languish. We should be doing the same 24/7 work they are doing on the Gardiner on every single transit project.

Yes - it's all included in that master plan. I e-mailed the engineer who is managing the project and this was his response: "Portions of the TMP is being delivered concurrently with the St.Clair Old Weston Smart Track Station by Metrolinx. There has some preliminary works already and will ramp...

Yes - preliminary work has been done, including utility location and signal removals. I think the project will likely ramp up shortly, as they are completing the work concurrently with the St. Clair West Transportation Master Plan (i.e., extending Davenport, widening St. Clair, etc.), all of...

Came across a thesis written by an architectural student on this property, and he appears to have included plans by the property owner for the site, which are not available on the city's development application site. Not sure how up to date they are, but thought I'd share here:. EDIT: I...

I think it's actually a charity organization -- at least according to the building permits: "Proposed use: Non profit employment training , household items collection and distribution centre"

Yup - I find this annoying. I'm going to guess its a funding thing...but can't help but feel like it's an after thought.

Just curious if there has been an update on the plan for the parks/greenway? Can't find any progress updates online anywhere, or even anything on the Metrolinx website. Was really looking forward to that part of the project!

One of them is a nail salon (hand-made sign with its name on the window). Not sure about the other!

All great points! I would be the first to admit that my aversion to regional bus service is somewhat irrational. I think I generally find buses more uncomfortable, tend to get motion sickness, and they are at the whim of traffic (which is what I dislike about driving). I take the bus frequently...

That is entirely incorrect. Just to make a comparison. Oxford University is located in Oxford, UK, which is a University town approximately 100km outside of London. Waterloo is 110 km outside of Toronto, so this is comparable, and it's also a university town. The population of Oxford UK is...

This is precisely the issue. I am never going to use a go train, that then requires me to transfer to a go bus (which may or may not be full) and whose schedule does not precisely line up with the go train, and which then needs to get on the highway, which may hit traffic. I would only ever use...

That's wonderful to hear that there are plans. I think the reason why many people choose not to use Go (including myself for a trip from Toronto to Kitchener) is the lack of flexibility. Prefer the European model, of basically being able to show up at a train station and buy a ticket and get...

So...so close to being good. Wish this went all the way to Kitchener. Will never use this train until it does. I presume there's plan to extend this all the way to Kitchener?

Just curious if anyone has any information about this plot of land and what is proposed here. It is currently just a large field of dirt with a mound of dirt. Do we know who owns it? It’s currently not listed for sale or rent. There’s no development applications and no lobbyist registrations I...

I live close by, we received this notice not too long ago, although I haven’t been able to check as to whether any work is actually being done.

They are doing work at night on this site. We received a notice of the overnight work recently. They are locating underground utilities. You may be confusing the site with the old Weston flea market site, which is different.

I came across this "proposal" by Marzotto Architects that seems to have been posted in 2018/2019. Anyone know if this is still in the works? https://marzottoarchitect.com/portfolio-items/heydon-hotel-condominiums/?portfolioCats=6#

The high rise is fully occupied (save for the commercial space) and is expected to be registered shortly. Three of the four townhome rows are occupied with the fourth row being occupied throughout October and November. Landscaping is close to complete (should be done by next week). All that...
