New Grass at Harbourfront Centre The almost real looking but fake grass put down by Harbourfront Centre around the new bandshell was a huge success. It got an equal amount of attention and use as the new wavedeck. These projects are nice gestures to the future potential of the waterfront...

Luminato Finale The finale peformance of Cirque du Soleil on the Central Waterfront was truly a spectacular event! Too bad Hto park wasn't a larger venue for more people to enjoy it! The city should really consider developing the parking lot it owns north of Queen's Quay and turn it into Hto...

The Hurontario LRT will make a detour around the City Centre - West on Rathburn, south on Living Arts Drive and East onto the three block stretch of Burnhamthorpe Road until it heads south on Hurontario again. As for the Hurontario LRT, check out the transporation forum where there has been...

Our New Blue Edge! I absolutely love the new wave deck and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them being completed! Its such a unique concept that celebrates Toronto's waterfront. There was tons of buzz along Queen's Quay and kudos to Waterfront Toronto for opening the wave deck it in...

Mississauga will build a Hurontario LRT Line I absolutely agree that we need Metrolinx to take the leading role in coordinating projects such as this. As for Brampton, I would challenge members here planning to attend the next session to point blank ask the politicans and staff there if...

Brampton to say no to LRT I went, great turn out right from the beginning with people filling the great hall. Big plans proposed for Mississauga - gone are 2 middle lanes of traffic up Hurontario from the QEW to the northern city limits and replaced with a fully seperated LRT line with a...

Cirque du Soleil Lights up the Waterfront The big illumination for this year's Luminato will be the Cirque du Soleil performance this coming weekend. I've been watching them build the stagging along the waterfront sites and it appears to be quite an elaborate presentation complete with...

Sheridan College in MCC I'm pretty confident its going to be built on the Square One parking lot across from City Hall as outlined in the proposed new Downtown Mississauga plan. Louroz

Working Name and Timeline CC: It probably won't be called Mainstreet District. That's just the working title it was given. As for the time frame, they have a mandate to complete the district in 8 years. The city is working with various land owners in the new district to kick start projects...

Main Street Mississauga Simple yet brilliant concept: creation of a new "Main Street District" to form an urban and green heart for Downtown Mississauga. I love the new Main Street with no curbs, along with the new commons park and farmer’s market building. The narrowing of...

You can call the GO hotline to ask for when the next Double Decker will arrive at your station. Apparently they get these types of calls fairly often and some riders will wait for a Double to arrive. I really like the buses, I predict it will soon become an iconic part of the GO Transit...
