Well, the Five Pillars of the Destination Niagara Strategy (Tourism Attractions, World-Class Gaming, Wine and Culinary Tourism, Arts and Culture, Transportation Development) don't really have much to say at all about, as you put it: The government seems not want to put a ton of resources into...

Well, you can just barely loop around from the convention centre to the falls, hitting most of the major hotels and other "major attractions", in 3.8 km. The thing though is that route isn't going to be built whatsoever for the benefit of the residents or development of the city in general.

The Marlee-Glencairn area study survey is open! This is an opportunity to help shape the neighbourhood into sustainable, connected community. Particularly in Option 2, the City has listened and learned from the criticisms of the traditional corridor development patterns. They need to hear that...

Might be good to show the city's renderings of the two approaches they were bringing forward to the area. The status quo visualization shows current and approved development application in the area, the second and third show the conceptual zoning for the the corridor and the zonal approach...

There's no specific improvements planned yet--this is very conceptual at this point. The staff would love to hear specific suggestions for improvements and programming for the parks in the area. I can't stress enough--if anyone reading this thread thinks the elements described here are a good...

I think priority, in the context of this study, means sometime in the next 20 years depending on how rapidly development, and the associated development charges, start coming in.

A-a-a-and a new submission in the area for 8 Benner Street. (https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-details/?id=5753435&pid=363336&title=8-12 BENNER AVE & 5 STAYNER AVE) Mike Colle can try to stand before the tide yelling "stop!", but this area is going to...

The connection from Marlee to Blossomfield is already planned for in the Near Term Cycling Plan. There's some indistinct dotted yellow lines along Lawrence--staff were clear that they were planning inclusion of better cycling along the broader avenue, to Dufferin and Bathurst at least, rather...

The behaviour of some older residents was awful. @UntitledCyclist isn't exaggerating, it was flat out unacceptable to treat anyone like that. The younger people in the session were not the ones being jerks to staff. I think a lot of people were living out real or perceived slights from the city...

The ones to the north and south of Ridelle (marked in the below image)? The City staff said that these were about reusing of existing assets to better benefit the area, in this case, the (disused?) stub of a hydro corridor. I'm sure there's an element of buffering, but the hydro park is only...

I think the issue of speeds in the tunnels is going to be compounded by the tunnels being large and so well-lit. The TTC can't expect that passengers just don't plain notice that the trains are moving slowly, like happens sometimes in the dark subway tunnels.

To the extent there is a "problem" that still needs to be fixed before opening, it's not so much the safety or infrastructure side of things (that's table stakes), it's the political risk of opening a second line with absurdly slow operating speeds. I presume most people are going to expect the...

I guess the lesson with Finch is that even with so many years of delays, the opening can still be rushed. To paraphrase Dirk Gently, rather than arriving five years late and flustered, it would be better all around if the LRT were to arrive five years and a few extra month late, but triumphantly...

The two roundtables were today. I was at the first one, which was extremely well attended with about 70 people. There were several unfortunate interruptions with attendees yelling at the presenters but once the presentation and Q&A portion was over there was a good breakout session with staff...

I heard that too. I think it's silly given that both the options being developed include both the Beltline Gap Connection being built as well as an improved cycle corridor along Marlee. But I think that's coming down to the desire of Councillor Colle to delay and reduce the scope of any...
