    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    You clearly don't understand the procurement process. Never has the procurement process been purely about the lowest bidder. What do you think is about to change? What have you heard and from who? Are they now going to receive two equivalent proposals and choose the most expensive one?

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    I'm one of the few people on here that is pro-train-shed preservation, but without the green roof and proper interior accent lighting the project gets low marks in my books.

    Toronto Toronto | Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    Why not get rid of stops? Port Credit and Cooksville might be enough for Mississauga, it has a much smaller population. Just improve MiWay to take people there. One station for Oakville is probably more than enough... just get Oakville Transit to get people there. People from Hamilton...

    Toronto Toronto | Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    So the rationale against a GO station at Park Lawn is that some day a subway might go there? Such a train would likely be an extension of the Ontario Line but would run in the rail corridor... so it wouldn't be a "subway" in the underground sense, but would be some rail vehicle using electric...

    Toronto Toronto | Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    I don't know why it can't. There are enough tracks in the corridor to handle U-Bahn, S-Bahn, Regional, and national services. Are you saying the TTC should run trains down these tracks? Who cares what the logos on the trains are? The province is paying for TTC expansion... it makes sense...

    Toronto Toronto | Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    The whole idea behind all day two-way service is to serve more than just a commute to downtown market. For all day two way to make any sense trains need to stop in places that serve large residential populations or employment areas. The 905 servicing GO worked when people were only going to...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    Are you saying that door at the end of the hall is on a temporary wall or that something is around a corner at the end of the hall?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It is poorly designed. With better pedestrian environment focused design they could have created more urban streetscapes in the west side of the site and consolidated Park and POPS in the east to have a substantial park. Instead they have three disconnected parks so from many angles the...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Despite there always being lines at Kelly's Landing, WVRST and other places in the area, you could always get a seat in the upstairs lounge despite the limited seating. I supposed that benefit is also why it closed.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I'm looking. I see that the only place with anything close to an urban space is a really short stretch of Carlaw which actually has buildings across the street. All other faces of the building are fully exposed, and not to some amazing vista like Lake Ontario or some impressive park, but...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    I'm confused by a few things in those two pictures. the colour of the roundel visible in the reflection in picture one. I can see a light blue line 3 and a purplish line 5?? the mismatch between the hallway capacity and the stairs at the end of it. Are they going to extend this to...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It has a park on all sides. On no side is there a street with a street wall on both sides of the street.

    Exactly. Information screen... for information go to the website.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    A station with a wide rail corridor running east-west near the waterfront and the only windmill in the city. How much weather protection could it actually need?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    This is TOD suburban style. It is towers in a park. It is neither good urbanism nor a good park layout.

    I don't understand obsolete lighting. People have been spoiled by led lights to the point changing the bulb is a foreign concept. Buy replacements, or but LED tube lights and ballast by passes and voila, the lights are back on.

    Absolutely... definitely the marble floors... the caution tape on the floor is embarrassing. With the lighting you can dismiss as just a difference in preferences, some vampires like it dim lighting, but that ceiling and floor looks like poor maintenance.

    Public Realm / Parks / Open Space Section

    Maybe not remove Infrastructure from Transportation though... there are some big sewer tunnels and water works projects underway.

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Hopefully they put in the request to move those hydro poles in a long long time ago or this plug isn't going to be removed any time soon. I'm surprised this wasn't moved already to be prepared for this eventuality.
