Thank god for the water taxis, although I'm sure the lines for those will be brutal as well. Especially on the way home from Hanlans' in the evening given they've cut half of the ferry trips there after 6.

From my understanding, on the OL, the stations are going to begin construction prior to the TBMs making the tunnel, as opposed to building them after the tunnel is finished like was done on Line 5. More like the way Vancouver is building the Broadway Subway (where the TBMs get pushed through the...

The location in Ottawa has an in-house cafe! So hopefully we get the same here. I could see them using the windows on the 3rd floor that look into the main mall galleria for that space.

With Simons, the label "department store" always feels a bit wrong because no other department store that I can think of is so heavily based around private label items. It's technically correct, but the impression of a department store most people think of doesn't fit here, if that makes sense...

Some of the articles have mentioned a hallway running through the centre of the bottom floor of the former Nordstrom space, so presumably Nike will be on the West side, with Eataly and Simons on the East side of that hallway. So you won't be walking through a store to go from the north entrance...

Only project in Toronto to make Design Haus look good in comparison

It's new. Apparently was announced in January on their social media.

Not to mention many people (especially in downtown) don't have cars. When there was a Beer Store in the Village, I could quickly drop off a bag of empties cus it was a short walk. Now I have to walk to Cabbagetown, which just isn't worth it. Maybe if I had a car it would be fine, but without...

Council has no input really on the Sheppard subway extension because it's a Metrolinx project and under the agreement made between the City and the Province in 2019, the City has basically no input on Metrolinx's projects. What the City is allowed to work on is projects that are outside of...

Somewhere DMW is still insisting that there are more cars in this part of Yonge than pedestrians lol

Ooof they just took over the former Club Monaco on Bloor. Hopefully that gets another tenant soon.

Yep. While unusual for an urban location, that layout isn't uncommon for more suburban No Frills stores, so I'd expect that's the plan here.

Our nation's largest grocery chain is more concerned with attacking their customers for wanting food to be affordable than actually running their stores at this point.

We aren't America and shouldn't aspire to be America. The threat of being shot dead at any given moment should not be how we govern societal behaviour. Do we want a society where PoC and people who are LGBT+ are afraid to go to the LCBO? Like I am the most rule abiding person I know, and yet...

Oh for sure. I'm 1000% more sympathetic to the patio argument, when I saw this story earlier so much of it focused on their lawyers talking about it preventing potential redevelopment, which like, I feel isn't an argument people can relate to. Without that angle, I totally hope they succeed here.

So now we have one party trying to stop another party's land value exercise cus would impede on their own redevelopment plans/land value exercise. Peak downtown Toronto right here.

You can really see the contrast between the bright, airy atrium and the dark, cramped heritage shed here. If only we could have had the rest of it relocated to other stations or museums or something and had the more open atrium design cover all of the platforms :( Just feels like we chose to...

This was my favourite of the options, happy to see it chosen. Love the way it mirrors the shape of the other bridges when looking down the channel. Also totally agree with everyone else though that a pop of colour on the underside of the arch would go a long way.

It'll be a bank, this is Toronto after all. All our major street corners must contain nothing but banks. (This was an RBC at one point pre-renovations IIRC)

Well I guess we're doomed to a dead streetcorner for 5-10 years. What a wonderful main street we have here in Toronto!
