    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    I assume the 11pm curfew is also a problem for the idea of pro sports teams using YTZ when departing after an evening game, which almost all the games are except for occasionally some in baseball. All airports can have flights diverted due to weather, including high winds, though I would assume...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    We don't really know yet how much of an expansion this move to allow "jets" would involve. It depends on which jets it would be. Some seem to be only looking at what was described about 12-14 years ago by Porter when they still owned the terminal, and were proposing extending the runway from...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Do you get that it's not just about aesthetics? Those of us using the TTC are doing so to travel from one place to another, hopefully without as many of the continual "trespasser at track level" and "security incident" delays causing the subway lines to stop running. It's a public transit...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I think the TTC and local authorities have had more and better trained security over about the last 12-18 months. But the main problem seems to be that these people, who are dangerous to themselves and problematic for others, are continually apprehended, then apparently released almost...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    The turboprop planes like the Q400 are aging, and seem unlikely to be replaced by newly developed ones any time soon. They have already largely disappeared from the U.S. But as mentioned in the other thread, the smallest jet airliners like the Airbus A220-100 (Delta is presently the only North...

    Toronto Toronto | Westbend Residences | 44.08m | 13s | Mattamy Homes | BDP Quadrangle

    It oddly looks to have been left alone so far, though maybe that has something to do with winter and won't last much longer.

    Downtown Markham

    And now the people of Markham are starting to hear how much this is costing them, already over $12 million and counting. https://www.yorkregion.com/news/council/city-of-markham-formalizes-indy-funding/article_4eb70127-5360-5ed4-9a56-30030a57c23b.html Edit: It's the race promoters, Green Savoree...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I think over about the last year or so, most of the time I get on the subway, and it goes, with fewer (but not none) of the "security incident" and "trespasser at track level" type of delays. There seems to have been a change in attitude from the authorities from their previous apathy and...

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations (FIFA26) | MLSE | Gensler

    CNE Stadium (/Speedway) had a south stand built specifically for the CFL Argos from 1959-1974. I just barely remember seeing it there as a small child and was never inside it, but from the photos it looks like it might have been intended to be somewhat temporary...

    Pickering Toronto | DLive | ?m | ?s | Pickering Developments | CGL Architects

    It looks like they started having shuttle buses soon after the last time I went there, though not useful if you're going to something at the entertainment venue if the last departure is 7:15 p.m. https://greatcanadian.com/casino-shuttle/ (FWIW, Casino Rama, which had more frequent bus...

    Toronto events and festivals

    After being used for the purpose in 2024, but not 2025, https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-events-and-festivals.16440/post-2255394 the tennis stadium at York U will again be an entertainment venue in 2026. The events listed so far seem to be mostly symphony shows like Dreamworks...

    Woodbine Centre

    At this point, it's getting difficult to imagine anything else in the near future. In May, it will be two years since the receivers started advertising that the property was for sale. You'd think that before much longer they will conclude that whatever it's costing them to keep the mall open...

    Exhibition Place

    It all sounds good to me, and well thought out. Updating and transforming the Food Building into something that's open all year probably should have been done years ago, at least since the new stadium was built. Apparently some more details will be revealed in April. Would this connection to...

    Toronto Toronto | Exhibition Hotel + Venue | 112m | 32s | Harlo | Populous

    So no more 'OverActive Media' as the proponent? Can we assume 'Harlo Capital' is an entity that actually has the money to build this? If it really happens, it could be a race with the Live Nation rebuilding of the venue across the road to be indoor/outdoor and used year-round. And hopefully...
