If a demolition permit was issued, there would not have been a heritage designation in progress.

The façade may have been gone, but House of Chan still lives, with a reconstructed, albeit smaller, façade in its new location.

To me the tweet sounded as if the adjacent building was not supposed to be demolished. I should have read the complete statement instead of skimming over most of the details, but I was on my mobile device at the time. My bad.

The Ministry of Labour is investigating two companies as a result of the building collapse: Crosslinx and Delsan-AIM Environmental Services. The investigation could take up to a year to complete.

^its more of a hybrid regional rail system. Probably more similarities to GO RER than the crosstown. Very high frequencies, but it uses existing rail corridors. essentially GO RER on steroids, but over a shorter distance. Station spacing is also much higher, 24 stations over 64km.

It's Montreal's version of SmartTrack. It has the word "fail" written all over. 2020 sounds very BS too. They say they'll use dedicated (new) tracks. Good luck to them. Hats off if they pull it off.
PS: if they are buying trains from BBD, make it 2030!

The construction timetable of 3 years appears to be extremely aggressive.
I can see Tory getting on the phone to OTPP and HOOPP to try to arm-wrestle them into a similar deal.

Except instead of using commuter-like trains or heavy rail, it would be using light-rail or more accurately tram-trains.

In the downtown, they shared the same tracks as the trams (streetcars). That's the lighter coloured vehicles.
BTW.
At the next Metrolinx-TTC meeting on Wednesday, April 27th, they'll be an LRT update on both Eglinton and Finch West. See link.

Site of the Crosstown bundling collapse appears to be guarded by full time security.

about the same speed as the subways go between the longer stretches I think.
