Won't that create unnecessary capacity constraints? You'd think they'd want EXO to be able to use a tunnel like this, and get the most usage out of such a tunnel. I wouldn't mind going through Laval, and by-passing Dorval if it meant Alto crossing over to the south shore, perhaps with a stop in...

Metrolinx has released an updated schedule for construction work at Long Branch GO.

I probably would approve this project as is. I like the height and density. The retail concerns are real though. The city yesterday released a big retail report, which I summarized in the LRT zoning thread. Basically, the city's population is set to grow by 31% over the next 25 years. Some high...

Mississauga has released its final retail report on preserving and expanding retail in the city. I think a lot of it is very applicable to the rest of the GTA.

I did a deep dive on the final Mississauga retail development report. Here are some of the key recommendations: (Note: this means that when replacement retail is required as part of a development, not all retail would have to be built on-site, but could be nearby) Here is what I would...

Mississauga released today its 5-year economic development strategy, as well as its final retail development report, and a plan to expand incentives for office development. I'm still digging into the details. At first glance, the economic development strategy talks a fair bit about streamlining...

City staff are recommending this application be referred back to staff for further consultations with the developer. The objections seem mostly technical.

City staff are recommending this application be refused. Staff say it is too tall and lacks replacement retail.

For clarity, here is the full quote: "We know that transitway ridership on the transitway at large, remains down to precovid levels, and we also know that that is likely tied to fact that we have not yet re-introduced the airport express. So we do know that when we are in the position to return...

I took a moment to listen to the transit portion of the Mississauga city budget deliberations from last week. Mayor Carolyn Parrish noted that the transitway parking lots are always empty every time she drives by. She wanted to know what staff's plans were to boost transitway usage were. City...

Also, if you did make the expensive decision to move the Ottawa station, Bayview would be a more logical place by far.

My apologies, I mistakenly thought they had fixed that issue.

If you check the Miway schedule, you'll see that Miway local routes 1, 11, 20, 35, and 70 all stop along this stretch of Dundas inside Toronto city limits. Miway express routes 101, 108, 109, and 126 also stop at the corner of the East Mall and Dundas.

Mississauga city council will have another closed doors meeting this Wednesday to discuss transit-oriented communities in the city.

I watched the video of the report being presented to city council. The cost is estimated at $150 million for each community centre. $75 million is the pot of money in the city's 10-year capital budget for either project. The city is looking to the province and the federal government to make up...
