    Toronto Toronto | CAMH Discovery Centre | 41.6m | 7s | CAMH | KPMB

    Lost a bunch of beautiful mature trees yesterday ☹️. They cut all trees south of stokes street, west side of shaw.

    Toronto Toronto | CAMH Discovery Centre | 41.6m | 7s | CAMH | KPMB

    Fencing and hording went up this week. Construction on both the The Secure Care and Recovery Building and The Research & Discovery Centre starts March 2024. https://www.camh.ca/en/camh-news-and-stories/our-final-phase-of-redevelopment-discovery-and-recovery

    Toronto Toronto | King-Liberty GO Station | 21.39m | 3s | Metrolinx | WSP

    Also confirms that they did shift the bridge position west by about 100m. Very disappointing. Original alignment was going to make this a pretty direct pedestrian crossover point between Queen (via Abell) and King (Joe Shuster). The new positioning has both access points on two dead-end...

    Toronto Toronto | Esports Performance Venue and Hotel | 112.23m | 30s | OverActive | Populous

    Every single venue in Toronto has open calendar dates, nothing is 100% booked. Top venues might have weekends fully booked a year out but so many venues are idle during weekdays. There is absolutely no reason that esports needs a dedicated venue, it's 100% a gimmick, esport events can be hosted...

    Toronto Toronto | Esports Performance Venue and Hotel | 112.23m | 30s | OverActive | Populous

    Ya, i hope this dies. This was a trojan horse project, using esports as a gimmick to push through a terrible hotel on exhibition lands. The city needs to smarten up, especially after Hotel X next door, complete disaster.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    The cost to the tax payer is $400-500million parking garage and $150-200million in servicing infrastructure (utilities, water, sewer, etc...). If the Ontario government is so eager to pour over half a billion into Ontario Place lands to support a private business, then they could take a fraction...

    Anybody have links to the revised designs that were released today? "Ontario Place spa developer releases updated designs following public criticism" https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-place-spa-developer-releases-updated-designs-following-public-criticism-1.6528809

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    We have a potential east-west belt line just north of dupont. I think Metrolinx has referenced it several times over the years in their long term plans, ie. in 2050s

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    RE: inaccessible: Just 500m/9min walk north of ontario place is basically going to be a transit superhub. Exhibition GO (All day electrified 15min service) , Ontario Line (subway), three streetcar lines (Bathurst, Harbourfront and King via new dufferin extension), Dufferin bus (including...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    This makes me believe you've never been down there before. The entire waterfront area around there- trillium park, ontario place, martin goodman trail, etc... are all buzzing with people every single day. Even during the winter on sunny days, there are masses of people down at trillium...

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

    If you took that $600million and spent it on restoring the ontario place pods, clearing out old structures and landscaping the islands into a park space... you'd probably still have $500million leftover.

    Toronto Toronto | King-Liberty GO Station | 21.39m | 3s | Metrolinx | WSP

    I don't understand why they would push the west overpass even more west. The original plan had it functioning as a pedestrian overpass with a direct path between Queen West and King West via Abell to the north and Joe Shuster south. The revised position is now roughly 100meters offset from any...

    Looks like this station is being rapidly value engineered and delayed due to rising costs.... https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2023/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-234904.pdf

    Ontario Science Centre - Pedestrian Bridge

    It might never get fixed. There are hints that they may be moving the Science Centre down to Ontario Place. You can see 'Science Programming' marked off on the redevelopment plans. Check this post...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Interesting info coming from the Ontario Auditor General Report... https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2022/11/30/doctors-paid-5-times-more-than-nurses-to-give-covid-19-injections-auditor-general-says.html It's just so sad to read. Politics trumps logic and expertise.

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

    Just noticing that Therme is spending £250millionGBPs (~$398m CAD) on their Manchester spa, which is set to be built in an industrial park outside of Manchester. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-51767474 But Therme is only spending $350million CAD on their Toronto location, where...

    Hoverlink - Toronto to Niagara Hovercraft service starting 2023

    I still can't believe how there is zero information on the Toronto side Terminal. As i said before, the entire Hoverlink concept is notably absent from any of the current Ontario Place Redevelopment plans and any of the recent public consultation sessions. How can the province be involved in...

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

    The platforms of this new Parklawn stop won't even be 1km from the Mimico platforms. Are they going to remove Mimico station?
