Toronto Ontario Line: Gerrard Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

[Northern Light]

The NIMBYs want you to think that but all Metrolinx is doing is cutting down a couple of trees along the rail corridor. They will actually be adding a small amount of park area to Jimmy Simpson:

''

Even Gerrard Carlway will only see a rleatively small area taken, with the net park size being larger than prior to the line opening:

To be fair, it's a lot more than a couple of trees.

Virtually every tree you see lining the corridor in this image will be gone:

That's well over a hundred. The same is true on the other side of the corridor.

That's not opposition on my part to the project or a suggestion that the trade isn't a reasonable one; but let's not understate that it is a material alteration of the current landscape.

Indeed - but the park will remain open and fully functional.

Where would the 505 DUNDAS easterly extension go...

To "loop" at Gerrard Station.

Dundas Street East is narrow, but it is wider than some European city streets.

This one is in Milan, Italy. From link.

A slew of new TOC's were announced today; I already flagged it to @Paclo ; but I think he's at the spa getting his mani/pedi just at the moment. LOL

Wow gerrard/carlaw north and south TOC would combine for almost 3000 new units, what a huge influx for the neighbourhood. And there’s still plenty more land that falls inside the PMTSA, this will be such a cool new community!

I spoke with a couple staff who work at the No Frills here. One said the store is closing at the end of April this year and the other said June lol.

This was my go-to grocery store for a number of years. Went back yesterday for one last shop before it closes. Still knew exactly where all the things I needed were located. Actually going to miss it when it closes.

Its definitely April; though I'm now hearing it will be a bit further into the month.

For the memories

I really like that No Frills. I grew up around the area, and I believe it was Food City originally, became Knob Hills Farms, and now No Frills. I feel like I'm missing an iteration. In that plaza, I still miss Consumer Distributors even though they have their wonky catalog system.
