    Greater Golden Horseshoe Transportation Plan

    I live in North Oakville and we are in dire need of a rail corridor. The "last mile" to get down to the Lakeshore West line is just too much. Likewise, there should be connections to the Pearson Airport employment area

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Why should we? I know London Heathrow and Vienna for example have express trains from the airport that go to the downtown areas of the two respective cities and while their services are pricey, they're targeting a business audience anyway who have meetings or conferences to attend in the...

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    This point argues for Union Station West being located at the airport if anything. I see nothing wrong with all traffic going between Kitchener and downtown Toronto through Pearson airport

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

    Good god, I never realized how much parking space is in Cooksville. I'm getting sick just looking at it

    Toronto Bike Share

    Do you have to bring back a bike to a rack within 45 minutes, or do you just get charged by the minute past a certain point (in Montreal's case, 45 minutes I guess) as is the case in most bike share programs across the world?

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Over in Vienna the first Bombardier Flexity tram (which is manufactured in the same city) is near completion and will be out for testing soon... it appears the Viennese aren't having scheduling problems with Bombardier like we are...

    Mississauga Toronto | Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    ^ I'm not sure if the land directly surrounding the Transitway stations are developable due to the Parkway Belt West Plan...

    Ontario Cannabis Store (OCS)

    Won't it just be sold in the same way wine is sold in grocery stores? Meaning that they will share the same building but is still separate from the rest of the store. I don't imagine that lots of space will be needed for that, since the selection won't be so plentiful and there's no need to...

    Square One Shopping Centre

    I think it would've been better for those restaurants to be located in the city centre itself so as to encourage a street life for MCC. Unfortunately Square One sucks out any potential soul of its surrounding area, and the snobby term "vertical suburbia" unfortunately holds true for MCC. Office...

    Nordstrom

    I can't believe they're opening a third location in the span of a year, and it's in Sherway Gardens where there's already a Saks Fifth and Holts. I've seen some people on this forum talk about how the luxury retail market is undertapped in Toronto but I definitely don't find that to be the case...

    Toronto Toronto | TYSSE: York University Station | ?m | 1s | TTC | Foster + Partners

    I wonder if the designers for the York U subway station got their inspiration from this subway station in Tbilisi...

    Hudson's Bay Company

    I was at Hudson's Bay in Square One yesterday and noticed they FINALLY rolled out new POS terminals, presumably with tap

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Is Hudson's Bay ever going to update their point-of-sale system? I feel sorry for the employees that still have to deal with some MS-DOS system in the year 2017

    Toronto Toronto | Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    Extremely unlikely that that would happen because by next year the stations will already be fully operational, in which case you're free to check out those stations whenever. I guess the TTC could pull off a Doors Open at some of those stations since they'll be so underutilized, especially on a...

    Toronto Toronto | TYSSE: York University Station | ?m | 1s | TTC | Foster + Partners

    Not to mention that it's eco-friendly

    How familiar are Toronto urbanists with the GTA's suburbs?

    I've only ever driven through Brampton maybe once or twice and the closest I have to setting foot there is in Malton. I've also never been to Richmond Hill, I think I was only in Markham once and that was at Pacific Mall, and I've never set foot anywhere in the Durham Region

    Why are Toronto's neighborhoods so small?

    Yup, and their national bureau of statistics actually define those "suburbs" themselves unlike here in Canada where we're pretty much left to personally interpret what neighbourhood is what

    What bricks and mortar retail will always remain bricks and mortar?

    I'm actually reading a book right now on this topic: Reengineering Retail by Doug Stephens. I don't particularly like it because in the first handful of chapters the author explores some visionary futuristic bullshit such as holograms, virtual reality and this haptographic device that can...

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I'm missing one important detail here. Will the rails be two-way on, presumably, Main Street or will they be separated accordingly?
