I'm trying to figure out how a guard at the end of the train who primarily observes the platform and train doors would have seen this, but 13 drivers in the front-cab with the clearest view of the track missed it.

Looks like they're taking up the concrete from the former park.

Almost certainly the people running keeptorontomoving.ca . During both the last municipal and provincial election they had plenty of lawn signs in Rosedale and Forest Hill. Many of the same homes hosted People's Party of Canada signs during the last federal election. Making some noise about...

Terribly exciting. This will be Metrolinx's first LRT/tram project to reach completion!

The ONxpress plan for most lines is short trains frequently: there's going to be an abundance of 4-car train runs.

Interest is defined by the Condo Act, and is the overnight Bank Rate - 2%; or 0% if negative. Eyeballing the Bank of Canada rates (linked below), it looks like you've earned roughly 5% over your entire deposit period. Subtract 2% from each period and run through excel if you want to calculate...

Balancing the budget is independent of capital spend. Interest on the debt shows up in future years, but not the capital spend; selling capital items (like highways or the hydro system) doesn't work as a tool to balance the budget for a single year anymore either. If Metrolinx has cash-flow...

Interestingly, from the article wording it doesn't appear to ban removal of car lanes if you don't replace them with a bike lane. Oh look, here's this emergency vehicles only corridor created 2 years ago which could be turned into a bike lane.

Yes, that is what your amendment to the AP&S would do. The developer gets a slightly higher unit value (helps when asking for the construction loan) and you get Tarion protection for the upgrades deposit provided your within their restrictions. If you ever buy new again, during your 10 day AP&S...

The amendment bundles some portion of upgrades into the initial unit purchase so those deposit funds are protected by Tarion. The developer will want to be made whole; if you're asking for $10k in upgrades to be included with the purchase at no additional cost then you need to increase the price...

If the GTA was its own province, Doug Ford would be the premier. Very very few outside the GTA have strong feelings about the specific layout of Bloor or Yonge; they very rarely interact with those streets. There is quite a bit of money in Rosedale and Forest Hill that have very strong opinions...

Probably. To protect the upgrade deposit you need a clever amendment during the 10 day AP&S review which bumps the unit price/initial deposit, and builds in a certain value of included upgrades. Of course, this may be before even the developer knows what upgrades might be made available. Of...

Upgrade deposits are not usually covered by the Tarion warranty program.

I can't speak to a fee of that size but a portion of it is a non-refundable piece paid to Tarion for deposit protection/insurance.

Indeed. The question was could Chow replicate what the mayor of Chicago did; which was a unilateral act without council support. So presume council would vote in favour of renewing the tripartite agreement; could Chow still have the airport closed. The answer is a pretty clear no unless it...

Oddly, I think Ontario did give her the power to do that. Strong Mayor powers apply to situations which align with provincial policy, such as increasing housing (only used in Ajax so far?) So choosing not to renew the tripartite agreement, pushing through rezoning the city-owned land for...

A snow windrow location?

Earlier Today:

Yes, they sold the terminal in January 2015. The article was about the proposed terms of the sale which included a tenant lease through 2033. The actual contract was private, so I shared what was in their sales-pitch when selling the terminal. AFAIK, they have no other long-term obligations to...

This says 2033 for their terminal lease, which would have been a natural date to use for contract expiration. https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/30806-porter-airlines-mulls-sale-lease-back-of-toronto-airport-terminal
