    Toronto Toronto | 312 Brown's Line | 17.42m | 5s | 312-316 Brown's Line | Elemental

    Nice. Hope this is the beginning of more of the same. With the GO station at the bottom of Browns and the connection to the Lake Shore street car line (will it ever function again?), not to mention the 427/QEW this is a good candidate for various forms of intensification. Now can they deal with...

    Planned Sprawl in the GTA

    Why? What is the magic of 30 storeys? I‘ve lived and worked in plenty of cities where buildings are commonly less then 10, less then 6 in height. Great working and living environments with livable neighbourhoods. I am not understanding the singular preoccupation with bigger then 30 storeys is...

    General railway discussions

    This article makes for interesting reading and poses challenging questions. As an investor one appreciates a positive dividend . But at what cost? Precision railroading has delivered those equity returns to the investor. However service, innovation, expansion into a larger piece of the...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I think they have something similar on the reconstructed Speers Road in West Oakville. The bike lanes are physically seperated from vehicular traffic and then rise and fall as they pass through a bus stop area, sharing the same ’platform’ height as the bus stop. I’ll have to go and have another...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I believe the City of Toronto still has one of the lowest property taxation rates in the province.So plenty of scope for raising funds from property taxes. There should be further room to build ridership As improvements come on stream. But funding should and needs to include some provision of...

    Burlington Toronto | 849-855 Brant Street | ?m | 11s | Rosseau

    SFH,s? Not sure what that refers too. However I think this area is also part of the special MTSA planning area fronting Brant & Fairview and extending along Fairview to the GO station. Somewhere in the official plan I am sure it will enlighten me.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Given the state of traffic on the QEW and overspill from those delays either way on any day, I would think higher speed (with an emphasis on speed), minimum 1/2 hour interval services to Hamilton, 15 minute services elsewhere would be a good baseline service, then add in service to midtown...

    Burlington Toronto | Holland Park Garden | ?m | 37s | CLV Group | Core Architects

    This was the Garden Gallery nursery and is certainly the ’zone’ around the Fairview GO station to be designing this type of higher density redevelopment. I would add in the Leggat site, the Walmart site, and much of the single story commercial along Fairview as further possibilities. Fairview...
