    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    Wow...you never thought you'd see the day. I'm so stoked for this.

    East Don Trail Project

    I'm banking on it.

    Toronto Toronto | Beltline Yards | 190.15m | 55s | Hullmark | Allies and Morrison

    Just popping in here to copy over some of the heritage report for this application. I was doing some research.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    A reminder of what the Kitchener corridor used to look like, even a couple years after the Georgetown South Project kicked off.

    Ultimate solution: move it easterly and call it Shantz Station.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I got confused, I thought we were talking about Breslau station.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I understand it was originally proposed just west of Greenhouse Road, now it's further west towards Fountain Street.

    Toronto Toronto | 155 St Dennis | 184.8m | 56s | Cityzen | Hariri Pontarini

    The OLT Case in question. I am reading it and I cannot fully digest it on a Friday night. I'll pick away at it and post back when I reach some initial conclusions.

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    Don't forget that, in addition to mixing in along the central part of the line, CN took control back over from a local shortline and runs freight along the Guelph subdivision to Toronto. If we were a real building country, we would be pushing for freight electrification and that way it wasn't...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I'm seeing the recommendation was to do a traffic study for a potential closure. I sure hope they get on with grade-separating Ogden and finding a place for a ped-bike connection mid-block, it's 1 kilometre between Ogden and Cawthra. That's way too far to just leave it IMO, especially since it...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    My dad pushed me to go to college for a trade. I appreciated his reasons why, but pushed ahead with a science degree and it's led me to a good professional career. My partner did an english degree with the expectation of going to teachers college. The latter part blew up thanks to retirees...

    Toronto Toronto | Woodbine TOC | ?m | 16s | Woodbine Ent | Allies and Morrison

    The boards outline the noise from Pearson being a constraint. Even being outside of that, there's no way I'd want to live over there from my experience walking around there and living in *Weston*. That said, I'm still left wondering about the restrictions at play. This map suggests that the...

    Toronto Toronto | Rail Deck Development | 239.43m | 72s | LIUNA | Sweeny &Co

    A new convention centre near Union sounds perfect. Moving walkways are close enough to magic carpets. Also, if the Lower Bathurst is still on the books this would make a great station-oriented development this government keeps talking about. /eyeroll
