    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Anyone know why the ALRVs have been running on Spadina these passed few days instead of on 504 or 501? We're the assigned C's being retired already or going into the shop? 4235 was my ride this morning. 510 was supposed to be going full accessibility this month iirc so curious why A's would be...

    Pickering Airport (Transport Canada/GTAA, Proposed)

    still a continuing case of govt following the "burning the furniture to heat the house" model of transit investment in ontario but in this case its acceptable to some extent because I dont suspect the land was generating much revenue for the govt anyways. The planning remains a nightmare but...

    Toronto Toronto | Oscar Residences | 37.14m | 9s | Lifetime | Turner Fleischer

    for the love of all things urbane, please dont keep the retail frontage a 100% flat glass facade. no better way to kill street life (however nascent it may be in some areas) than making one giant wall of nothing but reflectivity. Add in or bring down some of the presumably precast blocks down...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Oh FFS, this is absolutely ridiculous. the station already has art in it. See lower concourse wall art, upper concourse planters/rocks? and track level wall tile design. I'm not against station art especially when it adds something but these snails just seems like the stupidest most kiddish idea...

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    As a point of reference, in Montreal, where the original $17 million dollar costs was born by Saputo Inc., the Quebec government funded the $23 million dollar expansion. The stadium is owned by Saputo Inc. So here we have an opposite case, granted the total dollar amount is much lower, where...

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    This much I can agree with that government funds accounted for the majority of the first phase costs. However the second phase which was arguably the most important one, given its flexibility and growth of potential future use, and at this point has run the tab on the stadium to something in...

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    Lets just all remember that this is a City-owned stadium being used for a premier sports team (like it or not MLS is top league in USA+CAN) and who's construction has been largely paid for by the private sector at ~$105 million. While I would have loved to get some nicer finishes on this stadium...

    Toronto Toronto | 1 Eglinton East | 211.25m | 65s | Davpart | Hariri Pontarini

    Fun Fact the old bus bay area (though not the actual bays) was in use December 6th and 7th for bus diversions from the Eglinton subway bus platform area due to road repair work IIRC.

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    so just looking at this pages for Montreal's STM. i count using a variable liberal definition of office workers, 733 and lets say there are some other categories now listed here and we add another 1000 on top for the sake of argument and being very accommodating for all other categories not...

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