CF has sold quite a few malls over the years: -Erin Mills (Mississauga) -Fairview Park Mall (Kitchener) -Promenades St Bruno (Montreal) -Champlain Place (Dieppe) -Promenade (Thornhill) -Lime Ridge (Hamilton) It would be odd for them to sell this particular building, especially with the bridge...

Not were if this means something, but I noticed that the CF Toronto Eaton Centre signs that were added on top of the Hudson’s Bay Company signs on the former Queen Street store were in the process of being removed. When I walked by this morning, I saw a man walking away with one of the signs...

The thing is, the problem is solvable. It's just a matter of political will. So if the politicians don't have the will to do it, they should be voted out in favour of politicians who will increase the speed of the Finch Line and the rest of the streetcar system.

No one is defending poor decisions. We should be critical of poor decisions. But aside from venting on Urban Toronto, what have you done? Have you called the mayor's office? Written her a letter or email? How about your local councillor or MPP? Have you complained to Doug Ford? Have you...

I love that the site plan shows "future transitway" and doesn't mention the existing highway 407 that is currently there.

This regulatory nonsense reminds me of the city of Toronto / TTC's policies which result in Finch West and the whole streetcar system being underwhelmingly slow for no reason. In the case of the rail operation environment in the GTA, I get that there are legitimate safety concerns, but I am...

Kinda sad that Toronto gets mentioned in the Guardian, and it's about our abysmally slow streetcars. Really, really hoping this results in true signal priority for the whole streetcar network.

I asked ChatGPT for the stop spacing of lines 5, 6 and 10 and the below table is from it: Line Approx. Length Stops Average Stop Spacing 5 Eglinton ~19 km 25 ~500–850 m* 6 Finch West ~10.3 km 18 ~600–650 m 10 Hurontario ~18 km 19 ~850 m Based on the stop spacing on Hurontario being...

Maybe it's the Polish in me, but $2 or $22 billion is a steal to stop Russia. If Russia were successful in Ukraine, Poland would be next.

For this to happen, I think the political pressure and the media attention to the slowness of line 6 need to be maintained and not let up until something is actually done about it. And I really hope they do end up doing it for all the streetcars, and not just line 6.

The sad thing about transit spending these days is not getting good value-for-money.

Metrolinx has a picture dated today (Dec 24, 2025) in one of their slides? Seriously? That quick a turnaround?

A bit of a different angle for the third phase. I didn't realize till today that it was visible from this part of Elm Drive.

Yes it was closed again, but I'm not sure if it's opened back up yet because I'm stuck in NYC till Sunday due to my flight being cancelled due to high winds. Will check next time I either go to the office or go for a walk in the area. It is frustrating that they keep closing it though. And on...

Honestly I think this just dumb. Sorry.

I think it has to go through Union. Nowhere else has the connections that Union has. Maybe I'm biased though. If it was something newly built but part of the Union complex, I suppose I could live with it. Though Union Station Bus Terminal is something that I would say is too disconnected. If it...

Sorry for derailing the thread a bit. Yeah I would prefer a 410 extension to Wasaga as well. In terms of the 4XX number for the Bradford Bypass, with the former Highway 88 being so close it does seem logical that they'd do 488. Doesn't every 400-series highway paralleling another highway adopt...

I feel like curving 427 to the east like that is a mistake. It should curve west to Wasaga. Barrie already has the 400.

It is right by a GO station, but there's not much around this GO station. It's no Port Credit.

I would definitely scrap it in its current form since it's already projected to be slower than the bus. Eglinton and Finch weren't initially supposed to be slower than the bus. So if this one is, scrap it. Rethink it. But an LRT being slower than a bus is unacceptable
