    Brampton Toronto | TMU Medical School | ?m | ?s | Toronto Metropolitan University | Diamond Schmitt

    I know this is a bit of a tangent comment, it's important to see the consequences of the TMU Medschool on the community: Here are some pictures of the significantly downsized relocated Library to the Ski Chalet in Chinguacousy Park. First Floor: Second Floor:

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    ridership levels on routes east of the 410 make me fearful of the bump in September first hand. We can't keep hanging by a thread like this without it becoming increasingly dangerous for everyone. Province should be doing more than obsessed with greenbelt handouts and highways.

    Brampton Toronto | Embleton Community Centre | ?m | ?s | City of Brampton | Perkins&Will

    I still don't understand the reasoning to delay Howden Recreation Centre with a finished design right now and could break ground early 2024 for Embleton which won't have a completed design until next year. Bramalea has seen nearly all of their public spaces torn down and downsized, decisions...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Almost 600k jump in a single month and it's not even September! I don't think there's going to be much of a slowdown this summer from workers going on vacation and students out of school. Service levels need to ramp up ASAP. Been passing too many stops on full buses where there's 30+ upset...

    Brampton Toronto | Peel Memorial Hospital Phase 2 | 73.14m | 12s | HOK

    That FAQ only raises more questions, I don't recall ever seeing a hospital in Ontario add extra floors to a tower in the near future to increase capacity after completion. Once you lay the last brick, it typically doesn't get any taller unless they're using vague responses for phase 3? Or...

    Brampton Toronto | Peel Memorial Hospital Phase 2 | 73.14m | 12s | HOK

    Folks, I need help understanding something. Originally an Osler spokesperson claimed we would get 350 beds in total. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/hospital-levy-brampton-peel-memorial-1.6250638 Below: The spaces in blue add up to 160 beds. The shelled space beds in brown add up to...

    Toronto Toronto | 310 Front West | 235.5m | 69s | H&R REIT | Hariri Pontarini

    I support this for older classier designs. Imo The current bottom floor design isnt appealing enough to save.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Lol Feels like everything is closing down in Bramalea for 2023 (library/civic centre, 4 rec centres, bus terminal). At least the updated Go station is open for business.

    Brampton Toronto | Peel Memorial Hospital Phase 2 | 73.14m | 12s | HOK

    The original renderings of a completed Peel Memorial below shows there's longterm plans for a potential phase 3 which could be decades out at the pace taken with phase 1/2. I would hope it contains everything to make this site a standalone hospital without requiring to transfer patients with the...

    Brampton Toronto | Peel Memorial Hospital Phase 2 | 73.14m | 12s | HOK

    I'm sending this to members of council and asking them why 250 (non-acute) beds and only able to scale up by 100 to 350 is adequate. By 2027 our population growth will offset per capita any percieved gains, we will be back to today's status quo of healthcare delivery and the Province refuses to...

    Brampton Toronto | Mount Pleasant Heights | ?m | 14s | Argo Developments

    I remember somewhere around this area was being zoned for a future third hospital when Linda Jeffrey was Mayor. Are those lands still being protected are they now being repurposed? *Edit* Nevermind that's Bovaird and Heritage

    Brampton Toronto | 226 Queen Street East | 154.05m | 47s | Mehar Group | Wayne Long

    Demolition is coming this summer for the marigold. It's now being fenced off, everyone is evicted and car rental company removed.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    He's already angered Brampton and Caledon, same number of seats as Mississauga who likely will have a bitter taste with Crombie on the Ontario ballot. Ford needs these cities on page to get his highway and greenbelt sprawl through. Public opinion in Mississauga isn't strong for separation with...

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    The bill hasn't been passed to make it official. Nobody knows what the final state of separation actually looks like. I don't see why Ford can't just backtrack or make it difficult for Mississauga as Crombie hightails it to another role so suddenly. I'm having trouble reading between the lines...

    2019 Ontario Liberal Leadership Race / Rebuild

    Guess Brampton's default choice is going to be NDP if Ford screws them over in Peel Region separation. This is tricky, is Ford going to be fair to Mississauga in the split? This news feeds into a complex situation

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

    So with both options at 30% design, is the surface design still progressing to 60% while the tunnel is being shopped to governments? The article mentions $190k in the budget for an EA which I assume is only for the tunnel. The surface would get an EA study only if the tunnel option is dropped...

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

    Rare to see reasonable coverage from this media outlet without excessive bias injection. They did a reasonable job to report on last week's Brampton LRT extension decision to spend the next 6 months tabling the $2.8B tunnel design to governments. Not sure what happens after 6 months if this...

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

    I agree. the discussion between construction in Mississauga and future planning in Brampton belong together. Right now both have a lot of updates going on. Next year once the line is opened, the Mississauga activity here will transition to occasional service concerns and focus shift to the...

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

    I agree, judging by government shortchanging of Brampton on most fronts, I expect this position to delay all potential progress further north until someone on council steps up and demands we progress the surface study past the 30% design documents this spring. The tunnel is a compromise for...

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

    This new table in the document is directly from Patrick Brown's nonsensical words at the February LRT workshop. Funny how the actual number of stops and lengths of projects are left out of the comparison and buried in a separate appendix not included in the package. $3B for a 2km, 4 stop tunnel...
