It seems weird to me that the Fonthill area in Pelham would not be lumped in with Welland and Port Colborne. I could also see Wainfleet and West Lincoln fitting together well, and putting together Grimsby and Lincoln makes some sense. All four together feels a bit strange though. I also feel...

In Oshawa, the Farewell St pedestrian bridge will close next month for approximately 2 years. The work is part of the GO train extension to Bowmanville.

The developer applied at the city's Committee of Adjustment for an increase in height to 16 storeys, and the Committee of Adjustment granted the application. The discussion on the application starts at the 1 hour 42 minute mark of the video recording of the committee meeting.

Metrolinx has a community liaison committee for this project. It posts the slides from its meetings somewhat regularly.

This was approved by city council yesterday. You can find the presentation and debate at the 1 hour 18 minute 30 second mark of the video recording. There is one thing I realized from watching yesterday's meeting that I should clarify. The Mississauga city centre area already has no amenity...

*edited for clarity Metrolinx says that next week it will start burying at least some, and possibly all, of the wires in a section of hydro corridor in Pickering. The hydro corridor crosses the Lakeshore East line and the 401 just east of Pickering GO. Here is a screenshot from Google of the...

Here is the tender for design work for the third garage.

Work on the Barrie line Sheppard Avenue bridge is scheduled for next month.

Here is the construction notice for that.

Mississauga city council yesterday approved a $13.6 million garage expansion for MiWay. They also approved the purchase of 3.9 acres of vacant land for MiWay, adjacent to the existing Central Parkway garage. The details of the staff report are not being made public, but the motion approving the...
