    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    Somebody needs to confiscate Doug's crayons. This is getting ridiculous.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I'm curious to see the wording, but if it's as bad as it sounds, it should be ripe for a charter challenge.

    Toronto Toronto | Basin Media Hub | 21m | 5s | Hackman Capital Partners | SOM

    Take this with a big grain of salt, but I was talking to a neighbour who's in the film industry a few weeks ago and he said that Hackman is struggling, the film industry is moribund, and this project is going nowhere fast.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    As someone who has some direct experience with this, the answer is usually that reminders *were* set up at one point, but they are configured to go to the wrong person (who may not even be an employee anymore), or they were once set up to go to a distribution list that has since been renamed, or...

    Junction Triangle

    I've gone there a few times and found everything very tasty. Their burritos really are a cut above the typical Toronto chain burrito I'm used to.

    Junction Wallace-Emerson

    I think the item above belongs in the other "The Junction" neighbourhood thread: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/the-junction.5008/page-43 Thanks to an odd quirk of Toronto's neighbourhood boundaries, what you and I would consider the Junction (and the area affected by the HCD linked...

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    The cost escalation is unconscionable, but so is the timeline creep. From the Star article linked upthread: This project seems to be perpetually a year or two away from construction. Back in 2010, there was hope that the railpath extension could be open for the Pan Am games in 2015. In 2016...

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    I think this is a separate bridge rehab project. The new bridges for the railpath extension will be over the Barrie Line, Lansdowne, and Brock, and they'll be brand new and purpose built.

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    Correct. The connection to Wabash is not funded, but the bridge landing is designed to accommodate a future connection.

    Geary Avenue

    Last night on Geary.

    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    Federal funding incoming! 👀 https://www.cycleto.ca/west_toronto_railpath

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I guess this means they're not regrading Wallace. I thought I saw some drawings earlier that showed it going down by ~0.5m? Also I saw they re-poured the sidewalks on both sides adjacent to the greenway but didn't add curb cuts. What are people using the greenway with bikes or strollers...

    Toronto Toronto | Enwave Pearl Street Energy Centre Expansion | ?m | 3s | Enwave | HJA

    Are you confusing Enwave with Enbridge?

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Oh, come on. This is an absurd position to take. Are you unaware that someone just died because of an obstructed bike lane, or do you just not care?

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Whether or not it was permitted, it was clearly unsafe.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I think you need to take a break from the cycling thread. This is unhelpful.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Curbs have finally been installed under the Bloor Kitchener Line rail bridge: Unfortunately there is still a flex-post section for reasons detailed here:

    Toronto Ridiculous NIMBYism thread

    This is truly one for the ages. We've got the tone of panic. We've got unnecessary! exclamation!! marks!!! We've got a vague slogan: "Preserve our community" (apparently their community is a parking lot?). And of course we've got no mention of what might replace the parking lot. Surely they...

    Toronto Toronto | West Don Lands: Block 13 | 139.31m | 43s | Dream | Henriquez Partners

    Seems safe to say that the city's planner on the file is one person who has the power to shape this project: Planner: Katherine Bailey Telephone: 416-397-1761 Email: Katherine.Bailey@toronto.ca I have no evidence that this person specifically is responsible for the greyification, so please...
