    Ontario Line North of Eglinton (was Relief Line North) (Speculation)

    Corridors 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all interesting and could potentially be viable options. Even corridor 2 is a possibility for its likely cost savings. Corridor 2: Hits Thorncliffe Park and also connects to the Eglinton LRT at Sunnybrook. Also connects to Line 4 at Sheppard while also offering...

    I would guess a bit of both. I think the key concept with any renovation is to let more natural light into the place.

    While we're on the topic of actual renovations, Andrew Stoeten from the Athletic came out with this piece a few weeks back: Perhaps that's obvious, given the talk about extending the building's life by 30 years, but what would that even look like? A source with knowledge of proposals made by...

    Your comments about Alomar are pretty unfounded considering him and Hirshbeck made amends after the incident and are now good friends: https://www.si.com/vault/2015/07/09/106342560/roberto-alomar--john-hirschbeck Joe Carter's statistical accomplishments are generally way overblown by casual...

    Both 401WB and 401EB ramps end up on the new 410N mini collector segment which accesses Courtneypark. For those travelling north on 410 from 403, the new third lane on the transfer underneath the 401 interchange has a sign titled "Courtneypark Dr." which you take to enter the collector segment...

    NB403 - NB410 transfer has undergone some significant changes. A third lane has been added on the right side of 403NB that connects directly to a Courntey Park Dr. exit. A new tall wall barrier now separates drivers wishing to exit at Courtney Park from the rest of 410NB traffic on the left...

    Rail Deck Park (?, ?, ?)

    If the Blue Jays were smart, they would be teaming up with the city to expedite and incorporate Rail Deck Park into the upcoming renovation plans for Rogers Centre.

    Check this site: http://www.gettorontomoving.ca/plans.html His ideas are pretty overzealous, especially on the freeway front, but they include detailed maps of every cancelled highway project within the 416 as well as other transportation plans related to the TTC. Interesting to peruse what...

    The irony of previous opposition to the 409 through Pearson and Malton, is Derry Road has been pretty imperative in Malton's "segregation" so to speak from the rest of Mississauga and detrimental in its lack of proper development.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    The stretch of Highway 403 through Mississauga was meant to be a westward continuation of the Richview Expressway which would have began east of the 427-401 interchange in Etobicoke. Furthermore, what currently exists as the westernmost portion of Highway 407ETR was meant to be the westward...

    Although there's no direct mention of the DRL, this announcement signifies an important precursor to any future DRL development and construction: https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2017/06/28/toronto-waterfront-receives-125-billion-to-clean-up-and-protect-the-port-lands.html The funding...

    Reducing the total number of suites is indeed part of the renovation plans. I read Shapiro & Co. want to eliminate half the number of suites by combining multiple units together to create larger spaces. Having been in a few suites over the years, they are pretty small compared to the current...

    I don't have an engineering degree nor was I claiming I did. Yes, RC and Marlins Park are two different structures but there are similarities in how the retracted roof structures are supported and that is from the rail systems both stadiums use. Without actually removing the entire hotel...

    I believe those footings you see from the rail corridor might have more to do with supporting the retaining wall more than the actual roof structure of the Dome itself. Marlins Park has a similar roof design and its roof literally rests on the rail beams. It appears the Renaissance Hotel sits...
