The NDP machine has been very exclusionary towards Saxe, in a way that I would go so far as to call petty. Very unfortunate. Sure, she has her quirks, but she's frankly among the very best on Council both in caring/passion and in being smart. She's dug up tons of dormant funds, in the many...

We don't agree on everything, LOL; but we do agree on much, including this: @AlexBozikovic

I shared my thoughts on the above when this was posted to the zoning reform thread: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/zoning-reform-ideas.28286/post-2382506

I'm happy to endorse all of these. But, barring electing both a radical mayor and council (said in a good way); we need to prioritize meaningful steps towards these things. Example, with all the money spent on the Gardiner rebuild, tearing it down in the next two decades has become quite...

^^^^ I certainly question the need of the minister, in his official vehicle, to need to carry 7 or more people in his routine travels. If (big if) there was a legitimate reason for that many people to travel with the minister on official business, I don't suppose it occurred to anyone to...

I'm not, but you have start with ownership levels as they exist today; something that won't move downward significantly without substantially more robust transit. Approximately 56% of households in Copenhagen do not have a car, this compares to 28% (exactly 1/2) in Toronto. 62% of Copenhagen...

In the supplementary report on the EELRT to today's Council meeting..... There's a tidbit for some of you to mull over Also staff still using the old budget placeholder of ~4.5B for the project ....but that is with zero grade separation, and does not to my understanding account for the...

I am not suggesting an approval of anything.................. But I will say, just because an option has not been spoken of publicly does not mean it has not been discussed ;)

The slides/panels from the meeting are here: https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/9925-Public-Event-1PanelsApril-21-2026.pdf

I am hopeful it will happen if some folks here don't actively derail it for being less ambitious than they would like.... However, you are correct that the budget is nonsense and the project is, by my estimation over 100M short of what it needs. Also, despite what is being said publicly...

There is absolutely no question the City has gotten better under her tenure as mayor. Lets review: Fewer encampments More TTC service. More Library Hours More priority for public transit on Bathurst, Dufferin and Dundas.. Expanded School Lunch programs Fare capping on TTC beginning in...

For clarity, the link is to a new ZBA not an SPA Tenure here is listed as condo. Which make zero sense. Comparative stats:

I agree. A shame in as much as I think this is otherwise a pretty good effort for KirKor. I think the issue here is context. Have the 3 heritage buildings standard apart, with interstitial spaces being generally set back and bearing no real relationship to the heritage. Either...

This one was up at Council as a Decision Report, approval recommended....... but has been deferred.

$3,800,000USD or about $5,200,000CAD

Rainwater capture, and/or a green roof absolutely can mitigate the flooding issue. Both, however do have limitations vs natural softscape with one or more mature trees. Ideally a capture system would be 20L of storage per m2 of roof. I know this building is in the range of 32M long or...

They're not wrong, in this case. Look at the size of this: No way that was ever envisioned by the builder as a four plex, I'm not buying., May I add, I don't see how it got approval in the first place, the lot coverage is unacceptably high, the standard is simple, if everyone built that...

No permits issued yet. The 'New Building' permit does show activity as at April 9th, which is the first activity on any permit in awhile. *** I still don't see how they could have sales here to support this or get construction financing, but maybe @ProjectEnd knows.

Bill 212 allowed the province to prohibit removing vehicle lanes for 'other prescribed purposes' (meaning those regulated by the Minister); but said regulations have not been enacted to this point. So currently, the only restriction is removing travel lanes for the purpose of providing bike lanes.

Tender Award for this project is going to next week's TCHC Board meeting: https://torontohousing.ca/sites/default/files/2026-04/item_9_-_2026-13_-_vendor_award_construction_services_for_st._james_town_public_realm_and_open_space_project.pdf From the above:
