I've had the opposite experience. Any homeless person within the station is engaged immediately, and they often congregate in the teamways, which seems to be the only place they're allowed to congregate, for a while. I would guess dealing with the homeless is a vast majority of Union security's...

From my understanding from previous posts in this thread, there is very little clearance below Front St. to the Union Station mezzanine to allow for proper bollard installation, hence the much shallower blocks. And that's why bollard are on Bay St, they have better clearance below ground.

Easier said than done in the mid-2000s when these were designed. Also, they did. The existing 10" LCD screen in each car is cute, but completely useless.

Why on earth would you ban parking on Draper? It would only be necessary (or a good idea) if it were a commercial strip with lots of foot traffic. But it's a quiet residential street, not in anyway a destination. Requiring residents park in a garage on another property that they won't have 24...

If you're really pressed for time I can think of at least eight places in Union that allow pre-orders via the app. The sushi takeout spot has become an almost weekly stop for me, especially after 6pm when it's 30% off all prepared food. Grab and go and the checkout is very fast with two lines.

I think Chow's efforts on transit are laudable, even though we all agree she can and should do more: several fare freezes improved service across much of the system massive investments in the SOGR backlog after 12+ years underfunding Secured deal for new Line 2 fleet I think King service and...

I have to double check with my sources, but from what I remember the learning centre, cafe, and these washrooms (1 of 3 washrooms in the park) are part of the Play Park phase, and likely dependent on funding as well. If you look carefully, the learning centre tucks under part of the play park.

SLA just shared this gif on their Linkedin (post). What space in Toronto would you apply this to?

It's not just a matter of building 10,000 homes. Things have to be done in phases, houses have to be sold before being built, trades have to be queued up. While it would be nice if it happened all at once for your pleasure, that's an logistically impossible task. Also, this won't be popular...

No the play area is adjacent to and surrounding the crane, as seen in the renderings. The park opening in 2026 will be the south area MINUS the Play Park. See the waterfront Toronto map on the previous page

And the planned but unfunded playpark fits in perfectly to the unmapped section:

What filter or editing tool did you use to make this look so cinematic? Haha this plays like a Crosstown documentary. (Which should definitely be made with anonymized interviews by workers and gov't employees).

It's clear from the 407 E extension that it wasn't planned to be expanded for a long time, which makes sense because it was built to be tolled. None of the bridges are built for 3 lanes. Nor are the underlying piers or bents. It's going to be a costly expansion. And guess what will happen the...

Not sure where you heard this, but you generally know everything drum. I read (from Metrolinx, early in the process of building Line 5) that the grey was chosen to match higher-order transit, specifically the Line 1 Toronto Rockets. This doesn't really hold the test of time (like everything...
