This is TOD suburban style. It is towers in a park. It is neither good urbanism nor a good park layout.

I don't understand obsolete lighting. People have been spoiled by led lights to the point changing the bulb is a foreign concept. Buy replacements, or but LED tube lights and ballast by passes and voila, the lights are back on.

Absolutely... definitely the marble floors... the caution tape on the floor is embarrassing. With the lighting you can dismiss as just a difference in preferences, some vampires like it dim lighting, but that ceiling and floor looks like poor maintenance.

Maybe not remove Infrastructure from Transportation though... there are some big sewer tunnels and water works projects underway.

Hopefully they put in the request to move those hydro poles in a long long time ago or this plug isn't going to be removed any time soon. I'm surprised this wasn't moved already to be prepared for this eventuality.

When it shows green for Carp, finding food for the table will become really easy. The carp hanging around the carp gates can be caught with a hand held net.

I apologize if there is already a General Admin thread. I have noticed that somehow parks, neighbourhoods, and "non-buildings" have for some reason been moved to "Buildings" with zero height and zero storeys because they are not buildings. Why are these things not Infrastructure? Maybe it...

I'm not questioning filling vs opening the flood gates, my point is that there is a lot more than just a plug remaining to do. If they fill the river and then pull the plugs only, there is still river bank not yet complete around Cherry St and obviously the north plug at Villiers is some...

I'm surprised they didn't wait to fill the river until everything was finished up to the plug. I suspect that either they want to soak the area before spring for the sake of the plantings or there was a concern about a breach. Otherwise I don't understand the timing.

The province was ready to do it in 2019. The city at the time didn't seem to understand that they had dug themselves into a financial hole and pushed back on it, so the province owns all new lines and infrastructure, but the city still owns the old ones.

There is some funding... they will have about half of all stations on the TTC system branded T by the opening of the Yonge Subway Extension, plus all their newer / renovated GO stations, all their GO stops. If the city ends up uploading the subway to the province with its budget challenges I...

I'm WTF on that marketing strategy. Remind me not to order their chocolate pudding for dessert.

It wasn't some guy who picked it. It was a study that looked at many options and had many reviewers. I think some signs in Pickering still have an earlier test logo. I would argue it was needed. If we are going to have a seamless cross GTA network, the signage to say this is where you...

In ten years people will ask why does unrenovated station X have such dated looking signage with a 1950s style shield logo or 1960s GO logo. Many products have changed their logo over time and is many cases, even when there was initial push back by brand loyalists, after time passes the old...

Actually no... it is a Metrolinx project. If it was a city project they would work on it in 2036, after John Street pedestrianization, the Canada Walk of Fame, Eglinton Connects, the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, paving a street... any street at this point, etc.

Some e-bike is going to catch fire and someone is going to die or be seriously injured by this. The problem isn't all e-bikes and all batteries, the problem is that it would be unreasonable to validate the manufacture and good state of repair for e-bikes. Without a licence plate and sticker...

Land available is the reason. They are going to make it work via transit running into the station via Albany St from Simcoe Road, and GO Transit buses via First Ave. The on ramp to the 401 is proposed to start at Simcoe and First. Presumably buses terminating at Oshawa GO would now...

Wasn't VIA recently putting a dummy car at the back of the train due to concerns about the crash worthiness of these aging cars? At some point it would make sense to find a new creative way to give sweeping views of the front and back of the train with a fleet that isn't heavy and ancient.

The rumor attached to VIA not using the Barrie line... did it speculate property acquisition to build a wye on Canpa at the Mimico yard? The options are: new wye at Canpa (add connection from Canpa to East) [land acquisition and new track, eliminate train reversing] new north to East...
