And compensation for the construction costs and upgrades required?

Can we ask where in the process of debate over this proposal, the public is likely to be able to view the underlying costing information of this proposal? I believe you and others were trying to obtain such information, but might it become more public in the process of acceptance or rejection?

From the BAYTODAY & Jessica Smith Cross. I posted this to the 413 thread as well. But this is an interesting article about the motivations and modelling for the 413, the greater problem of growth, congestion, political motivations, urban planning etc. And the fact that study after study has...

A link to the BAYTODAY which has posted a very interesting article on the proposed 413 and related political, planning and ongoing congestion issues. Internal Ontario government traffic forecast shows crushing gridlock ahead — even with the 413 Just 1,200 users to realize the controversial...

You are correct. It is the BE 200 or similar that I read about. I was envisioning the age of the Pan Am Clipper service from the 1930’s and 40’s. Fun to think about, the thought of landing on the East River in. NY and walking to work, or better still, Hilton Head, and walking over to the...

Does the plan included in the G&M article not include one elevator running to the top floor? This makes more sense to me, allowing for access to the more elderly, infirm, and those with injuries or disabilities to rooftop views as well. (Not to mention laws on the books about access requirements...

Another thought that came to me was the use of seaplanes. Yes, ok, way outside the box. And in part, the views of the recently retired Martin Mars seaplane (last used in a water bombing role in fire fighting) intrigued me. So retire the BBA runways etc and open BBSA. The Russians have built...

I hold very mixed opinions on this subject. On one hand as a traveller and business person, BBA is so much superior to Pearson for short haul within Canada, the Eastern and Midwest USA. Access is a breeze, custom’s a breeze, and access to the downtown core a breeze. Business travel in Canada...

I flipped through the documents surrounding this proposal again. I think I agree with Northern Lite from a year ago, this may be a case of land amalgamation, rezoning and then flip the property. There are a lot of asks here re road realignments, and the cancelling of other road works. It is all...

Good news on that front however. Within the recent days many of the major tractor manufacturers (Case, New Holland to name two) have announced 0% financing on select models. So financing that Bright Red Case Farmall with the blower should just be a bit easier. And who would not want a bright...

I happened to be shooting through Brontë today and seniors densification is well underway, with the crane going up, and those boys are welcome to the job. They were skootimg around up there with abandon, not something I would be doing. The other two separate development sites to the east and...

The one thing not discussed to date is snow. Subject to climate change, the amount and duration of major snow events off the Lake can be intense, and for some, intimidating, and if any of Highways 21 and connectors 8, 86, and 9 are closed, isolating. Something to take into account and then...

Yes, these numbers. Under the current goverments let’s invite everyone in immigration program, possibly you see these numbers. What the numbers do not illustrate is the myriad problems this policy and the related unprecedented growth has already created. And the lacking physical response to...

One of the founders of HD is a huge Trump supporter. That has coloured my view of HD. Walmart could be the same for all I know, but I just make a point of staying away.

Re Trafalgar. I can see some higher order of bus service extending from the Oakville GO transit node northwards, connecting with the college, Dundas transit node, GO bus connections at the 407 and then northwards to Milton. (I would copy that on Brontë Road as well)(And further west along...

And Blyth has the Festival Theatre.

You are not far wrong and you are dating yourself. Maybe a Sears catalogue store?. And certainly a Home Hardware Building Centre, and possible a Peavey. Home Depot not really required.

Burlington and Oakville had an LRT …… but it ended in 1925 due to lack of business. And it’s not returning. And by all accounts the Dundas BRT will be nothing but a city bus running a normal route in traffic with a differing paint colour. Let’s not get carried away with any notions of mass...

Yea they are. You can grow from seed, starting indoors, moving outside after last possible frost. Say 70 days or so to harvest, so about now.

You are very correct. Along with plums, nectarines etc. But I tend to think of these as a tender fruit/Niagara product and they just slipped my mind.
