1) I wonder how they determine what a "troublesome tenant" is, exactly? 2) I'm OK with this.

I think the "crazy" cyclists are more visible, but they are a minority. On Adelaide, I see cyclists waiting behind busses patiently. It is cumbersome to change lanes however, as there is an embedded streetcar track between Bay and Victoria...

Agree, this is the best winter cycling weather we've had in years - it does not get better than this! I swear there were more cyclists last year, which was much colder. It might just be the different time/route I'm commuting. Also agree. If the salt is dry it's no different than riding on...

Jan/16 update: It was a lovely dry winter morning: -5c and sunny. Somehow cyclist numbers have dropped off since the new year - I'm often seeing just 1 or 2 other cyclists in the lane with me now, even though the winter so far has been mild. The separated lanes on Sherbourne, Richmond, and...

About the infill 1960s house...I see these in Toronto all the time. I've been told that CMHC had a scheme in the 1950s-1960s where they would sell very cheap plans for modern houses (perhaps with low rate financing as well). Does anyone know more?

I usually pick it up on my way home by bike, or else drive (there's parking in the plaza).

It's an oddly mild December so far, and there are still a lot of cyclists on the road (and in these new bike lanes). On my morning commute I was in a pack of 10 - yes, 10 - cyclists headed westbound on Richmond at Jarvis. Strength in numbers, as they say...it bodes well for ridership next...

Is it good? We've been getting our Indian from King Place at Dundas & Sherbourne for $25 or less: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/restaurant-reviews/king-place-a-hidden-gem-of-fine-pakistani-cuisine/article16749010/ Under the table has an amazing $6 takeaway pasta deal, but...

1) If there are no back taxes owed, then they're not going for $1000 2) Property tax is more than $48/yr. Like, 100x that for a property with an assessed value (not transaction value) of $50,000: https://treas-secure.state.mi.us/ptestimator/PTEstimator.asp

Wow, that really isn't bad! Shame to delete the corner bay windows though.

Yes, west - I fixed my original post :) I think the lanes at Spadina have been around longer than the eastern extension to Parliament. The west side will always have more traffic/density than the east, but I'm hopeful the east lanes will be well-used too.

I left for work a few minutes later than normal today. I was in a line of 8-10 cyclists on the Richmond lane headed west from Sherbourne to Yonge at 8:10am. Great to see people are starting to notice and use these lanes (the unseasonably warm weather must help).

Agree - that corner has been a revolving door. I say they're closed before spring.

They do seem to be getting some traction - good for them. Little Schmiddy's Hot Meat House (awful name, great food and experience) also seems to be doing well. I'm not so sure what's happening with the buildings north of the HoP, or the west stretch along Parliament N of Carlton. I really...

This place seems finished and the coffee shop, Sumach Espresso, is now open. Welcome to the 'hood!

Traffic on these boards has nosedived in the past few weeks...what happened?

The Richmond and Adelaide bike lanes seem to be fully installed now. Green paint on about 30% of each lane through the core. There was a volume counter on Richmond between George and Sherbourne, but it has been removed at some point in the past week. They are being used, but peak cycling season...

That's the way I read it too. So it happened at the very SE border of Cabbagetown, and not really inside it. As well, the perp likely tracked the boy as he went along Gerrard/River.

What are you on about? Is there a deleted post?

I would say that intersection is the margin of Cabbagetown at best. The apartment buildings SE of Gerrard/River are some of the worst in TCHC's portfolio (220 Oak St in particular is a shambles). Sounds like neither the perp nor victim lived in Cabbagetown, but were just passing eachother at a...
