Forget tunneling, double decking or rebuilding interchanges. IMO the 407 is the best solution to relieving 401 congestion and bottlenecks. Lower the tolls and get more truck traffic on it.

It's not just Bolton/Caledon the 413 will service but that entire section of development land from the 407-401 interchange from North Mississauga (where Amazon currently is) along the border between Milton, Georgetown/Halton Hills and Brampton. Keep in mind, current vacancy rates in the GTA for...

So you're telling me he's not dead?

Busy transit lines where demand warrants it, absolutely. Multiple DRL's and LRT's through downtown, expansive GO RER, a GO Midtown corridor, a GO spur to Bolton and a full-fledged 407 transitway are all desirable projects. Eventually a transitway can traverse the 413 route but initially, a...

That entire area from 401-407 interchange up through Bolton has been designated for development for years. Nashville Conservation area is a concern for sure but there should be ways to minimize any impact traversing that area. Ultimately, if the goal with this highway is to help move goods...

Marble Slab is still here with quite a few locations. Never tried it though. I think Cold Stone failed because it was too much of a novelty and the pairing with Tim's just didn't fit. Typical Tim's customers aren't in the market to also eat indulgent ice cream with their usual orders...

Almost forgot about that Cold Stone! But yes, I remember when it was incorporated into that Tim's store. I believe it lasted about 5 years or so once the novelty wore off. Only time I tried the ice cream was after me and a buddy smoked a fat one and proceeded to split a large. We couldn't even...

Being in the same industry, I am familiar with Fiera Foods and many of their inner-workings. Regarding their shoddy workplace safety record, I'll offer the following comments: 1. I have met Boris Serebryany and Alex Garber as well as others in managerial positions at the company. I would not...

There's a lot of history at that location. It used to be a variety of gas stations dating back to pre-war times in Clarkson Village. I believe around the 60's or 70's the existing building was constructed and housed the local Royal Bank until about 2000-01 when the current RBC branch was built...

Not singling you our per se but is this line of thinking par the course for every non-hockey pro sports franchise in this city? As soon as the team fades from relevancy relative to the heights of a championship or ultra-competitive era, the fair-weather fans just abandon ship that quickly...

To add to this, there must be more overarching regulations and standards placed on developers. Zoning standards must change and the pacification of home owners must come to an end, full stop. For one, property taxes within Toronto should increase by multiple percentage points. Shift away from...

MTO knows the stretch of 401 from Halton Hills/Georgetown and Milton into KW is primed for large population, industrial and commercial growth. Factor in the massive amount of commercial real estate development that will happen in Hamilton and Brantford over the next 10+ years and the western 401...

"The opening of these Tim Horton's outlets are a testament to the hard work and dedication put forth by all levels of government in ensuring GTA commuters receive higher order transit! Talk is cheap - just like the coffee that will be flowing from these outlets - and if a spill or mishap occurs...

"New" doesn't always mean good quality and from what I've read, that's exactly what Marlins Park is: poor quality. Not surprising considering it was a Jeff Loria project. The location itself is also a ghost town surrounding by multiple parking structures. People are really trying to claim this...

But what about those of us who are less about the flavour of places and more about precise geographical replication?! Kidding aside, Little Canada looks fantastic. I loved these sorts of things as a kid growing up.

You're cherry picking issues at this point. Wi-Fi coverage at a baseball game? Don't be ridiculous. 10 years ago, I could understand the gripes about the Dome and lack of modern amenities and curb appeal. The turf and sliding pits looked terrible. The old Windows Restaurant with ads plastered...

Most pressing needs for the Rogers Centre are the seating, both the seats themselves (too cramped and no cupholders?!) and the seating orientation. Lack of natural light and modern amenities would be the other two IMO.

RC isn't perfect but considering all the upgrades that have occurred over the last 10 years and those that are ongoing, I wouldn't consider Globe Life, Marlins Park or Chase Field as superior. I honestly wouldn't. Globe Life is MLB's newest venue but it's been trashed by fans and critics alike...

BMO was built relatively cheaply and in stages so their layout and concession offerings are limited relative to the current capacity of 30,000. Scotiabank was built with modern amenities in mind and with the direct purpose of siphoning corporate season ticket holders away from the SkyDome. Their...

They've spruced the place up a bit since 2019. New paint jobs, signage and décor in the concourses and spaces outside the stadium. The removal of 100 level OF seating to create a more open concourses actually looks really nice in person. They also added railings and glass paneling to that new OF...
