    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Terminating at Exhibition has always been a very questionable decision to me. Realistically, I think a "Liberty Village" station was only ever going to be located on the edge of Liberty Village. But, they picked the wrong edge. Located at the very south of the neighbourhood, the station feels...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Cross posting: Looks like they blew up their not to scale future transit map and overlaid it on a very much to scale 3D rendering of the city. Which is pretty funny. Wouldn't read too much into it. Cool idea for a graphic but done poorly. Viva rapidway and 407 transitway.

    Richmond Hill Toronto | Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Hmm. This is good news. I kind of figured this might happen, and it *might* still happen with Cummer too. The fact that Metrolinx was still presenting maps with those two listed as potential stations made me think they had not completely given up on building them. Cummer is close enough to...

    Toronto Toronto | Centrepoint Mall Redevelopment | ?m | 50s | Revenue Properties Company | Turner Fleischer

    Excited to see this one take shape. I wasn't sure if they'd spare the mall (like the promenade) or not. Glad to see that they won't be. I used to go there all the time as a kid. Bit weird to see it go, but it's the perfect spot for more density.

    Wow, I used to go to Centerpoint all the time as a kid. I would get my hair cut there. Bit of a weird feeling to think of it going away. BUT ALSO: Good riddance! I wish they had gotten rid of the entire Promenade too, rather than just the Sears.

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

    There are plenty of cities out there where this is flat out untrue. Toronto's implementation of LRT may leave a lot to be desired, but that says more about us than it does about LRT. (That said I still think Eglinton east and west should have been elevated)

    Phenomenal. Probably the best future transit map I've seen. Minor gripe is that it lacks the northward bend in the Viva rapidway at Bathurst, but the rest looks good.

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Not sure why "environmentalists" is being used like its a bad word here.

    Thousand bucks says it gets delayed to 2023.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    True, but with few stations. They could basically double the stations along that stretch, then send OL off somewhere new past Weston or replace the UP express. Though I guess the new st Clair station and mt Dennis stations offset that. Could still see one at Dupont, Rogers and Jane though...

    Toronto Toronto | Novus at Garrison Point | 119.17m | 34s | BGO | Hariri Pontarini

    One of the ugliest podiums I've seen. The towers aren't great either and look a bit cheap overall but are tolerable.

    Toronto Toronto | 45 Strachan | 131.97m | 39s | BGO | Hariri Pontarini

    I'm glad this intersection is getting at least one building that isn't completely hideous.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Walked through it. Think calling it "done" is a bit of a stretch as theres still a lot of touch ups that are needed. I wont fault them for most of the stores still being unopened though. It's ok. I guess? It's nice and yet also kind of shoddy looking? There's (new) cracked tile all over the...

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

    A dozen reasons why its a bad idea, but I'd have loved for them to leave it that way.

    Richmond Hill Toronto | Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Metrolinx doesn't give a shit about community feedback or opinion, but the fact that Conservative MPs are raising concerns will hold more sway. Unfortunately, this below is the likely outcome: "Express subway" here we come...! 🙄

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Wow, I didn't even know the feds could do that. Project is effectively dead then

    Liberty Village pedestrian link

    It's fine I guess. Thing already has tags and will probably be covered in graffiti in a few months. I still think it's regrettable that it has stairs at both ends rather than a ramp, though maybe it was too high on the north side for a ramp. The thing just feels over engineered. Still, it's...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Crazy talk. There isn't anything on Parkside drive, and that's a big diversion just to head back east to Dundas west. Half of the line would run alongside a park and the other half is residential homes. If we have to cut that many corners just to get it up to Bloor, I'd rather we not even...
