There's something especially satisfying about seeing car-oriented infrastructure disappear.

Soon enough, we'll be needing to put up signs like this one (which appears to be out in King Township or something):

I will miss that gas station next time I have to put gas in my car, which will probably be June or so. It was very convenient.

The toddler is going to be very excited when they start demolition on this site.

The topography is a bit different than I remember......

Lookin a bit parched too.

Doesn't surprise me they haven't got Metric yet though........ maybe next year when the internet is installed.

I remember King township looking more like this personally.. pretty sure they have a few gas stations around.. probably only sell premium though given the clientele in the area!

Was on the St.Lawerence community fb group there was a post about a lady being sad about this station being gone. Her having to drive up to richmond and jarvis instead was more of an inconvinence than providing housing for 400+ families.

LOL. I was arguing with everyone in the comments

Going, going,…

Apparently the loss of the panhandling gas station and the "heritage" Tim Horton's has facebook members living in the neighbourhood feeling very sad. Luckily for all of them, you can buy gas at Richmond and Jarvis, and the ugly brick box is going to be preserved.

I would say they are moving super fast, they only started to sell a few months prior, I guess this is Menkes we are talking about.

Tim Hortons is closed now too, so I guess demolition is imminent.

 

[evandyk]

All fenced in now.

The one at Richmond and Jarvis is next on my wish list . I live around there and it is my main view. Wouldn’t mind something more architecturally exciting.

These guys are really not even wasting a day.

When I have a rare car rental I prefer to visit the one at Richmond and Parliament, which is much easier to access after exiting the DVP. This Front/Sherbourne station was often hazardous to turn into and out of, especially when you are also keeping an eye out for bikes the bike lane.

As a pedestrian, I look forward to being able to walk past this corner now without having my head on a swivel for cars turning in/out at all angles. The construction site will ironically be safer.
