    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I'm assuming the Highway 6 Morriston Bypass will be getting built before widening the 401 through that section?

    Yonge Street Revitalization (Downtown Yonge BIA/City of Toronto)

    If they are not going to start until 2030, maybe we can get going on preliminary design for College to Bloor section in the meantime so both can start consecutively.

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    I like the idea of going to Dundas West because it offloads significant ridership from the core of Line 2, but I don't know where you go after that. Follow the corridor to Junction and then north up Jane? I also think we will just see way more population growth in Humber Bay...

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    I think the most likely we get some variation of: West along Lakeshore West corridor to Park Lawn - Jogging up to then west along Queensway or Gardiner - North up Canpa or 427 - North up Kipling Hydro Corridor or 427 - Pearson

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I don't really see any alignments that make sense going west down Sheppard once you hit the Humber River. Do you go up Albion? South to Pearson down the hydro corridor? You also have an extra ravine to cross and a massive golf course that means less ridership. Given the precedent we have seen...

    I was just going off of the latest metrolinx map which shows they are planning a single station at Bathurst before connecting to Sheppard West

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    99% sure its just 2 study areas that are being considered.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Bringing in the new map posted on Reddit from the Pride Parade for discussion here: Seems to be the first time we are seeing what stations are being considered? Also - The city/metrolinx should really be talking to Northcrest about protecting for a station in central Downsview. Will be...

    Bloor Street West Bike Lanes

    Frankly Toronto needs more of this not less. Arguments of efficient use of space for maximum throughput is what has made this city so ugly in the first place. Go to Paris or CDMX or Amsterdam and you will be consistently slowed down and squeezed as you walk the sidewalks. Maybe some find it...

    Calgary | Green Line LRT | ?m | ?s | Calgary Transit

    Yea the whole "LRT is faster and cheaper" thing is misinformation. The Green Line should have been a REM-style light metro from day one, and would not have been that much more expensive.

    Calgary | Glenbow Museum | 43m | 9s | DIALOG

    The streetscape is killing this building IMO. Take out that parking lane, rebuild the sidewalk with granite pavers, and add a few trees.

    Toronto Toronto | St. Joseph's New Patient Care Tower | ?m | 11s | Unity Health Toronto | Cumulus

    Glad to see this gain some traction. Was just here last week and I had to seriously ask myself whether the parking garage would collapse over the duration of my stay. It’s rough. Not to mention the older wings of the hospital make one question whether they are receiving care in a G7 country.

    Wonder if they will give Queen/Spadina a similar upgrade?

    It’s time to Plateau-ify East York!

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    I’m not expecting the federal govt to show much backbone here unfortunately. Hope I’m wrong and council gets the HAF money swept out from under their feet. But I don’t have that much confidence with Gregor Robertson in charge of the file now.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place: West Island / Therme Spa | 45.15m | 9s | Therme Group | Diamond Schmitt

    Wasn’t there a design competition for the new science centre? Is this the result of that or did they just abandon that plan altogether?

    Ottawa Transit Developments

    Only makes sense to do this. There is a pretty decently preserved ROW on the Gatineau side too if I remember correctly.
