I'm a bit concerned about how long that sidewalk will be closed. We walk to Shoppers etc all the time, and with that closed, we have to walk from P1 on St Albans up Aukland, which is an unwalkable street with a stroller.

I live in a condo that was marketed as "Luxury" and it has crappy laminate floors, basic fake stone ceramic, and super basic cabinetry with particle board cabinet doors. "Luxury" has no meaning in development.

Is the "Tail Track" not the 2 tracks that extend in the trench along Subway cres? I agree that that does not seem to make any sense to do, but what I'm saying is the wording of the tender indicates that they're adding 1,500 ft of track "west of Kipling Station tail track", which, I thought, was...

The tender says they're extending tracks west of Kipling Station: "The work of this Contract consists of the supply of all labour, equipment and materials for the construction of Site services for approximately 1520 feet of storage track west of Kipling Station tail track. Switch machines...

I live next to it too. Did you get notice about the TTC rehabing the bus ramps on St Albans? Work to commence July 17.

I don't think that's it - it's north of the fence, within the Westwood lands. I believe it's hydro vaults/sewer etc for the development. I've heard that the extra tracking for Kipling is to be past the west end of the station, towards Subway cres.

"Pedestrianism" is mandatory, that is unless you park you car in your bedroom and in your office at work. Do you drive through the aisles of the grocery store? Everyone is a pedestrian. Not everyone is a driver. Therefore the pedestrian realm should be the number one priority. It would be...

Saw lots of workers on site this morning. It appears the "lake" has been filled too.

Having lived in one of the condos directly adjacent to the site for the past 4.5 years, I can say "aging boomers" make up a very small proportion of residents in our buildings. The whole point of the six points reconstruction is to make the whole area pedestrian friendly (I won't say "more"...

To be fair, it's slim pickin's at election time around here.

Why? What would that accomplish, other than driving up costs?

Except, no. This is across the street from a cluster of 5 condo towers, and a soon-to-be rental tower. I live there (which makes me "folks in the suburbs", I suppose), and I don't want it to be underground.

It probably could have been 6 years, but 4 years of the last decade were eaten up by Ford's war on pedestrians. I can't imagine there was anything about this project he would have liked: Ever-so-slightly increased driving times - check Better/safer infrastructure for pedestrians - check...

The East entrance/exit at Kipling station will be about 200m from the site. That's pretty good. Would a 200m tunnel be better?

When you posted this the other day, I was going to say something about the white doors, and how I just assumed they were temporary during construction, and that they would be replaced by the glass doors in the renderings. I didn't, but today they were being painted the same crappy beige as the...

I walk by this eyesore almost every day, and to be honest, it's just terrible. The railings on the building are painted galvanized steel, the brickwork (aside from the colour discussion) is very poorly done - wavy and inconsistent, the window sills on the towns all have a mortar joint in the...

Given the size of that crane, I kind of feel like it'll only be one crane for both buildings. I could be wrong.

Look how close that crane is to 2200 Yonge. That's got to be about 12"!

For this density to work the TTC will have to retro-build the once-proposed station at Blythwood (Sporting Life), as the walk between Eglinton and Lawrence is very long. From Blythwood it's a 15 minute walk to Eglinton station and 13 minutes to Lawrence (by Google's math - I walk a bit faster).

Sign says TTC entrance will be closed until April 2018.
