Just looked at TFC's schedule for the coming season - they host Inter Miami on May 9! So that presumably will be the first match played to a truly full capacity crowd.

This is the output at Don Valley. So if these aren't red herrings, then they imply an initial ~20-22minute travel time between Cedarvale and Don Valley. (There is a similar sign at Kennedy that was operational when I was there ~1.5mos ago. Don't remember the time there, but do I remember it...

It seems to be treated as a given that the presence of a LRT enables significantly more development and investment than a BRT. If even this given manages to apply to the slowest of LRTs, then the only positive I can see in EELRT is that it could initiate a "multi-stage revitalization project...

Yeah, the strategy seems to just be "hopefully your parents don't live too, too long 🙁 - so you can inherit their assets in due time" Even for the student loans - it doesn't do anything to solve the escalating cost of tuition (though Ford's underfunding of postsecondary can be partially to...

There might be a chance that some players might get rejected (Iran?), even if I wouldn't say it is likely - while way less profile, recently the US denied entry to 14 Ethiopian U20 running athletes (out of 18). Albeit one counterargument during the Club World Cup was an U-turn for Ayrton Costa...

Exactly this. - Increasingly impossible path to home ownership for many (and thus gambling, in its various forms, becomes a very interesting prospect, - increasing youth unemployment rate (where this cohort will negatively benefit from the government's immigration policy of the past years, but...

A new addition in the PATH appears to be Asters Patisserie (under Brookfield Place) - but it doesn't seem like they serve bread or even croissants, just French desserts. The Flower Cake Cafe is nice (also aesthetically too), but you would probably consider it adjacent to the financial district...

Spotted for the first time on Line 4 today! Previously some of the trains on Sheppard had the same Line 1 map as in the quote. I'm surprised they actually created one solely for Sheppard!

Yeah London has some nice trails along the Thames (and Western is a nice campus, as another comment mentioned), but I struggle to see how this would justify anything more than a day trip. I only just realized you could reasonably do a Guelph -> Kissing Bridge -> Elmira -> St. Jacobs (+ the...

Street View might disagree! (but I would agree with you) [this at-grade 3.0km (5 stations, avg. speed ~20-25km/h) stretch along Frankfurt's main N-S axis was originally intended to be tunneled like the sections south of it in the city's core, but the financial struggles of the 1970s meant that...

I see you visited the Goetheturm. I regret not finding some time to check it out! Osthafenbrucke was my go-to viewpoint in getting the ECB, TV Tower, and a (bridge-obstructed) skyline all together.

At least they're kind of trying?.... I remember, when I used to study/live in London a few years back that Covent Garden would try to stage some events in the winter that brought at least some crowds. And there can be signs of vitality along Richmond Row at times but that is more-so driven by...

Yes, you're probably getting rinsed by some or many of those governments and NGOs, but you do hope that they are able to install just enough stability in their respective nations to delay their issues from becoming more costly ones for us..... (the refugees aren't going to take the long road to...

IIRC, in RMTransit's video on Frankfurt, he explicitly mentions that its Stadtbahn* was a direct inspiration for Calgary (and Edmonton). One example from the city's N-S axis: Dornbusch - Sandelmuhle, after the N-S line exits its underground tunnel in the city's core; the trains run in the...

I have no intention of involving myself into a catfight, but what I will say is seeing that Stockholm supposedly had a lower density than Toronto failed the eye test having living there, especially given the prevalence of those Million Programme suburbs. I see that Stockholm Municipality has a...
