    Only Pricing Congestion Can Stop Congestion

    I'm for congestion charges if the resulting money is put back into alternatives to taking the car. If the money goes to pay off the city's budget shortfall or something, then forget it. I've lived in Mississauga near a GO Station all my life. I like the GO (when it's not packed to the...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle Centre Condos | 161.84m | 55s | Pinnacle | P + S / IBI

    My girlfriend lives in 18 Harbour and bought an investment condo in 33 Bay. I like the buildings. Her unit (2 bedroom, 2 bath, den) in 18 Harbour is halfway up the building, with a really nice design inside that's comfortable with very good views. The point about it not being a destination...

    Triumph, The (1971 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga, 15s, Makow Assoc. Architect)

    I didn't go to any meetings because I approve of the project based on the details I'd read on the sign that was posted. I'm also not an owner -- my father owns the condo. As well, my building is 1110 Walden Circle, so other than driving past this new condo during construction, it won't affect my...

    Triumph, The (1971 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga, 15s, Makow Assoc. Architect)

    I live on Walden Circle, in the 11-storey condo at the back next to the railroad tracks (I think it was built in the late 80s). I don't really see what the problem is. You have an even taller older condo directly across the street facing this site, a new tall condo facing Southdown, and an old...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    My girlfriend lives at 18 Harbour, which has a pretty huge public parking garage under the whole complex (which includes the other Yonge-facing buildings and 33 bay). During Leafs games and concerts, I find the P1 and P2 public parking levels are not completely full as it stands. And during the...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Question: has anyone successfully had a "senior fare" designation change done on their card? I bought a Presto card for my father, who is 68. I told him to go to the Go station (as the Presto manual says) and talk to a ticket person about getting the senior designation. He took his card and ID...

    Toronto Toronto | Murano | ?m | 45s | Lanterra | a—A

    Balconies are overrated. My girlfriend lives on the 25th floor in 18 Harbour (Pinaccle Success 1) and we almost never go on the balcony. Why? Well, from October to April it's too cold. And in the summer, it's way too windy (hold on to your hat!). Not to mention that the noise of the Gardiner...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    OK, so I used my Presto card for the first time yesterday. Everything seemed to go well, but now when I look at the website to see the transactions, things confuse me. For example, I had $20 on the card. I tapped on at Clarkson GO, tapped off at Exhibition. Attended the Toronto FC game. Then I...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Just to confirm here.... if I manually load value onto the card today, but end up not using the card (no tap) for 8 or 32 days, what happens? The site really should explain the consequences of not doing these things. That's would be very strange if so... I guess they figure the only person...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Good to hear.. but here's the line that confused me from the website.... Load and Reload Value Your activation is available 24 hours after purchase, and remains available for 30 days. My "activation" of value "remains available for 30 days." hmmmm....

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I found the activation "tap on" a bit confusing too. I'm not using the card for another 10 days (figured I'd buy early) but it seems I had to tap on before 7 days are over. I walked over to the GO station and tapped, which charged my card even though I wasn't going on a trip that day (I just...

    the architects' website calls it "pre-patinated copper cladding".

    Historic photos from Toronto on this day

    that's neat... did they drop in a coin and get gas? ha. also, I wonder what happened to the tank when it was removed -- would those houses still have a gas tank lurking beneath their driveways today?

    Mississauga Toronto | U of T: UTM Instructional Centre | ?m | 3s | U of T | Perkins&Will

    the new library there is one of the finest libraries I've worked in... the interior design is wonderfully thought out, and the lighting is perfect. So many old libraries didn't divide up spaces properly and had extremely bright white lighting. This library gets it right. The new instructional...
