I get your take, Paul, to a point. But there were residents here before. This was not a brownfield site, it was already housing. If this were conversion from Industrial/Employment, I'm with ya, but its already residential, just vacant, because it was vacated for redevelopment. ****...

^^^ Hmmm, I don't see any city work scheduled for Mercer for this year. I know @ProjectEnd asked about the streetscape/mews project before, that appears to be calendared for 2028.

Broadly, I agree w/ @generalcanada above............ yeah, I know, must be a residual effect of the eclipse, LOL. I would prefer a focus on curated choices. If Pizza Pizza don't have an exclusivity clause, bringing in someone who sells edible pizza would be great. Elsewise Bahn Mi and...

Be assured, if someone had information they were able to share; they would.

I don't doubt you PE. I know you're a very reliable source. I also understand the challenge in elaborating all that much. That said, if you could add some colour here, it would certainly be appreciated. *** As a side note, does Madison actually have any residential rental in their...

Again, I don't think you've ever lived in DC or Sydney. The TTC/GO is vastly better than either. Yes, the DC Metro is bigger and newer and has some nicer stations; but the service is less frequent and the bus service that feeds it is abysmal. Sydney.........has less still. Its modal...

A substantial portion of Eglinton Connects is up for approval at the next meeting of I & E. Its only the central portion the eastern and western legs at TBD. But progress is afoot. Yes it would be nice if more happened sooner, but do you know of any 22km long public realm projects anywhere...

A variation on Steak Frites was my dinner last night. Sea Salt and Black Pepper Crusted Ribeye Steak, roasted Broccoli and I made Potato Galette. In this case, thinly shaved potato w/a mandolin, put down in layers in butter and cooked to a crispy finish then salted.

Yup, its for a Job Fair; but not for a Union Station location, its for the Yonge/Dundas location. SS has a relationship to Osmington who manage the retail space at Union.

I rarely watch sports these days.......but as a kid, it was something my dad and grandfather were into and I sorta learned to like it. At that time, I remember the HNIC announce team for the Leafs was Bob Cole and Harry Neale. Bob did have the perfect voice for this, along w/his mixture...

That's Organic Garage. The parent company went bankrupt awhile back. I assume there were no suitors interested in it as a going concern. Unfortunate, but not surprising.

Some fresh lobbying activity had me taking a look at this one, that's been languishing since 2022. No sign of any recent activity. But, @Paclo will wish to make note that new Arch. Plans were submitted in March '23. As there was no new planning report and no new cover letter, I'm not...

There are no more preliminary reports. So the staff report will be the Decision Report, which won't be public until its on the TEYCC agenda. Its not on the next agenda, but I would imagine it will be on June or July agenda.
