    Toronto Toronto | 88 Queen | 167.35m | 52s | St Thomas Dev | Hariri Pontarini

    The facades, yes, but the retail spaces at street level, no.

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    In 2020-2021, a lot of GO buses were rerouted off the 407 with lower ridership and less traffic. I remember Route 29 buses on Winston Churchill Boulevard instead of the 407.

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    Though the original reply was referring to the two MLB clubs that moved twice since 1989, you forgot to mention the ballpark that changed what new ballparks were expected to be: Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    Hard Rock Cafe back! It is moving into 10 Dundas according to this notice (below the Beer Store sign). Still, a shame it gave up its old spot, now the home of Toronto’s worst Shoppers.

    Canadian Tire

    I remember that, along with the lawn that was at the corner for many years.

    They would also have to relocate TMU’s business school. At the time, it was an innovative project with the mix of retail, parking, and university facilities.

    And it wasn’t until Metrolinx finally built a decent station layout at Bramalea (the fourth station layout in its 50-year history) that Brampton Transit was able to make it a fully functioning terminal too. Before, Steeles buses loaded on street.

    Waterloo Toronto | New Waterloo Region Acute Care Hospital | ?m | ?s | GRH

    I like the Aud site too, despite it being a bit distant from the LRT spine. It’s still relatively easy to serve by transit. The University of Waterloo North Campus would have been perfect, but it’s partially built up now with tech firms. The helipad does not necessarily mean the new KW Hospital...

    This is exactly how Oakville Transit operated for many years – have its buses converge at Oakville GO Station to meet the train arrivals and departures. They had it easy with the hourly off-peak trains scheduled to arrive from Union and depart for Union within a few minutes of each other at...

    Brampton Toronto | Bramalea Residences | 174.35m | 55s | Lev Living | Kirkor Architects

    Though I agree that there should be a public space/park on the BCC lands if Morguard gets the go-ahead to develop the old Sears store, there are neighbourhood parks immediately across Queen Street, and there’s a walkway under it connecting to Hanover and Howden. Chinguacousy Park – the city’s...

    I only recognized it as I was just there.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Moss Park Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    That’s Vienna. They certainly do. Remember when the old sewer under the north St. Lawrence Market building was left exposed for a bit?

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    That’s the only way this makes sense, especially as Metrolinx is building the new King-Liberty Station pretty much where the planned Railpath empties out.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    HSR buses and trolley buses did so, in the 1970s and 1980s. A shame they didn’t continue the colour scheme.

    Intercity Bus Services

    It’s still there. The Commuter Connect program is partially supported by Metrolinx. However, the Campbellford route is gone. https://commuterconnect.ca/ride-with-us/

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    She isn’t “woke” (gawd, I hate how that word has been corrupted) and she isn’t a “social justice warrior.” She’s a narcissistic doxxer.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    She’s turned out to be incredibly toxic and a useful tool for the far right.
