    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Yeah looking over these postings I can't imagine any other project these would be for lol.

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    The difference there isn't really in the ownership, MTR got into property development long before they went public. As a crown corp/agency, the government can very easily give Mx more mandate for property development and move them to a more commercial financing arrangement. Going public doesn't...

    Hamilton Toronto | The Claremont | 25.2m | 6s | Oriyomi | Hirman Architects

    At least they're hiding the drive-thru with a garage door now lol. Nice density, just needs to go all brick.

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    It wouldn't be part of the City committee anyways, but I've no idea what's taking them so long on this. They supposedly had a preferred bidder, so does this mean the negotiations are going (or went) poorly? If the contractor can't start the design phase soon then I can't see any serious...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I mean there were a lot of tree removals, I don't agree with the protest goals (tunnel under the humber lol) but they also could have run the elevated section in the roadway between the humber and Jane Portal, we just value keeping the road open more than the trees. The restoration plan will be...

    Hamilton 152 King Street West | 41m | 12s | Vrancor + Equal Parts

    The city doesn't have building code, this would need to be amended into the zoning for this area. I strongly agree with Chris here, the City's zone for medium mixed use should have a provision about providing small scale retail frontage as a base, developers can then apply for variances where...

    Hamilton McMaster Innovation Park | ?m | ?s | McMaster University | McCallum Sather

    lol, I'm imagining 1 room with some work tables and then the rest of the building is just an AI data centre. Please no.

    Hamilton Toronto | Emshih Waterdown Senior Living | ?m | 12s | Emshih Developments

    ol' franky only wishes he could have employed this many facade materials. Absolutely stunning they managed to fit 4 onto the facade of a 2+ storey townhome.

    Hamilton Lime Ridge Mall Intensification (Phase 1) | ?m | 12s | Primaris REIT | WZMH

    Hey finally! I worked on the MUP design there so I saw the early version of this design a long time ago. There's also a dedicated bus left-turn lane on upper wentworth into the mall entrance, sadly not enough room to have one leaving the mall entrance, but as mentioned only buses needing to go...

    Hamilton - Main St. E. redesign

    Won't know until we see it, but I am hopeful given that there's been such a gap from that initial concept. I know me and at least Chris here left a boat load of comments for them.

    Hamilton - Main St. E. redesign

    One-ways are fine in single lane applications, like herkimer and charlton. Once you get into multi-lane set ups the perceived safety and actual safety go down. I wouldn't even consider most 2 lane one-ways a viable solution. You are right however that the main thing isn't the one-way/two-way...

    Hamilton Toronto | 1452 Upper James Street | 32.1m | 8s | Elite Developments | Chamberlain

    At least there is ground floor retail! Design won't win any awards but its more than adequate for the mountain.

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I would say a big difference here is that those trams that run in city centres have lower speeds. Metrolinx is under increased scrutiny now after finch to maintain higher average speeds, which is incompatible with more signalized crossings. Hamilton LRT is on a small enough cross section in many...

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    They could still order the flexity, Alstom has taken over that design and Metrolinx will need to order more of them for ECWE.

    Hamilton Toronto | Coppley Building Redevelopment | ?m | 4s | Core Urban Inc. | Lintack Architects

    Gutter guards are only useful when you have a source of debris basically sitting right over or beside your gutters, like a tree. And even then, most don't work on pine needles.
