    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The FIFA transportation plan is out now. The first 43 pages seem to be just a summary of Toronto's transit system. As for the rest, parking restrictions on Dundas and King are planned on match days, as well as more frequent transit.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Metrolinx is upgrading the at-grade crossings on the Stouffville line with pedestrian safety improvements, including some pedestrian crossing gates. The notice singles out 16th Avenue, but I believe there are several others as part of this program.

    Toronto Toronto | 3239 Dundas West | 43.5m | 11s | Gairloch | Batay-Csorba

    If I were you (or Gairloch), the property I'd really want to add would be 281 Gilmour. Then maybe you could move the entrance to the parking garage to Gilmour, and add additional retail or residential units along Dundas. The apartment building on the corner already has a parking garage entrance...

    Mississauga Toronto | Twin Pines Redevelopment | ?m | 12s | Peel Housing Corporation | Axia

    There is movement on this development. Media coverage this week says the residents of the 130 trailer park homes are being told they have to move. Residents will reportedly receive either a one-time $50,000 payment, or an on-going rent subsidy, as relocation assistance. Residents are apparently...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Metrolinx says it will be repairing the Lawrence Avenue bridge on the Barrie GO line. I'm not very familiar with this area, but I see a lovely mural on Google Maps. I hope it's not destroyed.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The FIFA transportation plan is scheduled to go before Toronto city council's FIFA subcommittee on March 30th. The "Mobility Plan" is not yet public, but there's a note on the agenda that it will be submitted to the committee sometime before the meeting.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    It seems to be related to the Union Station corridor work somehow.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The crossing at Alexandra Ave is relatively lightly used. The city has previously recommended that it be permanently closed. That probably won't happen though until Ogden Ave nearby is grade separated. It'll come too late for this poor boy.

    Mississauga Toronto | 3650 Eglinton Avenue West | 12.54m | 2s | U & M Enterprise | CLA

    Actually, I think the undeveloped areas on the map above are under separate ownership from the already developed areas. The areas that have already been developed were sold as condo units, and operate under a condo board model. I do wonder though if one of the 2 condo boards might buy the...

    The New York Times has an article about Ridgeway Plaza in Mississauga.

    Grimsby Toronto | Grimsby GO Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Niagara regional council discussed this station last year. I haven't re-watched the council meeting to re-fresh my memory, but I wrote this summary at the time.

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    Mississauga city council, in a further motion today, extended the development charge tax breaks until Dec. 2027. Developers had apparently told multiple councillors that November 2026 was too tight of a deadline. My read of this motion is that the fees will now not be fully restored until...

    Mississauga Toronto | Redwood on Goreway | 53.1m | 14s | Redwood | Arcadis

    Mississauga city council today granted Indwell, a housing charity, a $1 million grant to help buy a site in Malton near Westwood Square mall. Mayor Carolyn Parrish said Indwell's proposal was for 200 affordable rental units, and another 40 deeply affordable units. Parrish said the seller...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    They put out a construction notice for that.

    Hamilton-Niagara passenger rail enhancements

    I'm just going to quote this here for future ease of reference, because I think it's a good point.
