The bridlewood mall one is rumored to a burger king or dairy queen (I believe the former is expanding/remodelling to compete). The food court here is difficult to find a seat midday, but imagine it's mostly seniors and students at the nearby gym; so perhaps not enough food/meal sales.

Why someone needs to reference a website for latest service updates is a bit baffling...

Circling back on this... If a patient in Canada isn't going to commit imminent harm to oneself and/or others then it's easier to keep them involuntary. Otherwise you have to prove mental/physical deterioration plus the patient being incapable (box B, i.e. not being able to see consequences of...

In Ontario, there are 2 criteria for involuntary admission: Box A or B. Roughly speaking, A is danger to yourself and others, B is there is risk of mental or physical deterioration or serious physical impairment. However, as I understand, typically there is usually a time-limit to ensure there...

As someone who has lived here over 40 years (albeit north east part of the city)...Never heard about this one (It's pronounced Babby point for those who didn't know). I think this one depends if you're talking about the museum or the street? seems to me the house/museum had the ee sound. I'm...

Steve Munroe, in his usual good in-depth review, has a good post about the SRT derailment and possible issues uncovered. He obtained a copy of the database listing the track inspection reports, but only work orders that initiated the inspections, not any separate WO’s for repairs. Here are some...

Now I understand why they had those container ticket booths in the summer...

I listened.... The occupancy permits were for all the large/complex stations which I assume is good news. Phil seemed most concerned with the signaling system & software updates from Alstom.

Today's Metrolinx board meeting indicated they moved 27m to 850/~7800. Unsure what date that was from, but assume it's quite recent (feb) data. Sounds as if they are falling further behind. 27 metres in ~30 days? Even if this data is a week or two off, it still is well below target. Verbal...

This one will probably fly under the radar... Southbridge (for profit LTC provider) is the owner of one of the worst long term care homes: Orchard Villa in Pickering and is getting a greenlight on its license and expansion. Let's review their track record: Prior to covid, it had the second...

Seems to me, when riding along the end of the corridor, there was a tunnel just west of the current terminus of the corridor trail and Eglinton but I'm not certain if that is for ground/storm water... The map above suggests there may be a link (near tunnel) on the north side of the hydro...

I'm pretty sure they lost their pants many years ago :p

I believe the agreement stated no competing within 1.5km of the 407 but, the contract was uploaded as an image making it difficult to search.

I cannot for the life of me understand why they want to build dense residential there. This is a headscratcher... It's nowhere near any services.

Old news but... Suprised nobody posted this: https://www.insauga.com/ajax-mayor-uses-strong-mayor-powers-to-expedite-twin-60-storey-development/ 60 metre? Also from Ajax planning newsletter last fall:

Don't have star access, but assume they are referencing this document.

Isn't that the spot where this man came from? Too many alternate storylines/universes these days I can't remember if that's accurate...

As someone who used to manage response to bank robberies at a financial institutions, the response (after involving police and corporate security teams) was to immediately arrange counselling on-site. As @T3G mentioned, some could be off on short term disability (partial pay) after traumatic...

While I'm mulling through the Pickering budget... The '26 timeline above lines up with Durhams' first section of the BRT cycle tracks: Some of it is not planned until '28-'33. Ill have to lok back at BRT documents to see if the numbering above lines up with particular segments. Off the top of...

Looks like the east spit east waterfront/boardwalk is being budgeted for this year. Pickering's mayor (who has been granted strong mayor powers and plans on using them) has proposed the above be included in the '24 budget, funded half from casino revenues and the other half development charges...
