    Agreed - I was going to ask, but now think this is way more important, whether they could install a pedestrian path on the west side of the tracks, as well. Otherwise, coming from Mullock, you'd have to walk a very long distance to a light to cross the street to get to the new station. I suspect...

    How is this possible? This is an absurd choice if it is true. That widening is absolutely necessary for the area and should be done as part of this project - otherwise it will never be done. The process for that started 13 years ago, and the issue has gotten way worse. It was planned to be done...

    What if they made that little intersection a roundabout? Feel like Doug Fords been talking about these mystical roundabouts, and this seems like it might actually be a good spot to put one, to avoid a bottleneck light.

    I'm a little less skeptical than you are. The whole project is being built as one and all at the same time, and even according to the memorandum on the change to UP, they reference the need to close the streetcar during construction due to the implementation of the transportation masterplan...

    While true, right now, this work is being done in conjunction with the St. Clair Transportation Masterplan (work will be done at the same time according to my city councillor). Indeed, they already have permits to demolish all of the houses/businesses where the new road will go, and they will be...

    You are right, I misremembered. They were going to reduce service to Bloor! I hope they don't do that.

    As someone who lives in this area, I sort of like this change. Basically guarantees rapid local transit for our area every 15-minutes all day, as opposed to the pipe-dream service on the Kitchener Line, which I still an skeptical will ever get built for 15-minute all-day two-way service. I think...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    The city should start installing permanent infrastructure for all of the existing network so it is extremely difficult and expensive to remove. Use the budget to save what we have, before Ford has another dumb idea.

    I live in Reunion, and there aren't any ongoing issues from a quality perspective. We're overall happy with our purchase. There were the standard Tarion period headaches for a new build, but nothing crazy. I think the ceiling issue was blown out of proportion. What happened, to my...

    This has been going on since the building was built. Presuming the engineer found an issue during the Tarion period, and its being fixed.

    Well that is timely. Thanks!

    "At this point in time, the City is still waiting for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to issue their decision in relation to OPA 537. We haven’t received any indication on when a decision might be forthcoming from the Ministry, so we are as much in the dark as you are on that front."

    I noticed basically everything in this area is stalled because the province has failed to approve the city's zoning amendment for 3 years now. The OMB appeals keep on getting delayed until the province makes a decision. I've tried contacting the person responsible, but they no longer work there...

    Toronto Toronto | St Clair-Old Weston GO Station | 9.13m | 1s | City of Toronto | Hatch

    I agree wholeheartedly, and sent an email to ask. However the email that is listed by the province on their website is out of service now and I got a bounce back, so I can't actually find out who to contact at the province to get clarity. Wish one of our newspapers would pick up on this BS by...

    Toronto Toronto | St Clair-Old Weston GO Station | 9.13m | 1s | City of Toronto | Hatch

    I e-mailed the construction manager for the project last year and he said it was all going to be happening together with the Transportation Masterplan in the area: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/stclairwesttmp/. I suspect there's...
