    Toronto Toronto | 228 Wilson Avenue | 57m | 17s | Verdiroc | CGL Architects

    Greenwin Inc. is mentioned in the cover letter. Change of ownership?

    What is the correct email address to reach in contact with them for station suggestions? Because I have been emailing bike share and the local councilors for three years now about nearby spots in the area located on city property and have only received the token "thank you for your suggestion"...

    Seems like they should install a replacement station nearby (even if temporary) rather than removing a station that creates a significant station desert in a central area. Or have such a concentration of stations in said central area to begin with so the temporary removal of one does not create...

    They keep removing my most heavily used stations in the Midtown area. This time, it is the station at Moorevale Park that has disappeared, which I had discovered only upon arrival. I am close to writing an email to Bikeshare and the local councilor office. This network has become quite...

    The warm weather we've been having must be good for breaking bike share usage records. That said, finding a bike recently in Midtown has been nigh-on impossible. I'm actually reducing my weekly bikeshare trips as a consequence. All this expansion to the outer suburbs while there is hardly any...

    I suppose this is another advantage of using the physical card. I never have GPS problems with unlocking bikes.

    Pro-tip that I have learned over time. Lifting the backseat of the electric bike while you're pulling it out will help with the "stuck" issue. It seems to be something to do with the extra weight of the electric bike not being compatible with the sensor in the dock, it is especially bad in some...

    I understand the policy goal of bike share stations in every ward, but I do wish they focused in infilling the areas already serviced first. There are a lot of gaps still.

    Toronto Toronto | Waterworks Building Redevelopment | 47.55m | 13s | MOD Developments | Diamond Schmitt

    The Tivoli Gardens Food Hall in Copenhagen is probably the closest match to Waterworks in terms of layout and circulation. What is odd though is that I found Tivoli to be even more crowded and cramped in circulation, and yet, I did not mind it as much as in Waterworks. I think it is because at...

    We can relax on the rhetoric. This is not a big-time developer, they don't even have a company website.

    Mississauga's Cooksville urban vision over the next 20 years

    I guess we shouldn't be too too shocked, there are so many examples of the same process across Europe going through the centuries.

    Toronto Toronto | 1881 Steeles Avenue West | 104.7m | 32s | First Capital | Turner Fleischer

    Council just voted to reject the neighbouring proposal by Tenblock against staff recommendation due to Councilor Pasternak's grandstanding for the Sanofi site. Those same concerns would exist for this recent resubmission for the First Capital site, placing even more housing in jeopardy of...

    Toronto Toronto | 1875 Steeles Avenue West | 129.65m | 39s | Tenblock | BDP Quadrangle

    Extremely disappointed that Council voted to reject this project, going AGAINST the approval for recommendation report by planning staff. Some very strange politicking going on in the background between Council, the Premier and this Sanofi site. Reporters should investigate what is going on...

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    This has been going on for about 15 years now, I swear. IIRC a large part of it is that the rails are sinking into the gravel bed and they have to perform regular maintenance on it.

    If you were impressed by the glorified food court that is at The Well, then you’re going to be blown away by the Waterworks Food Hall.

    Yup, I always take the mechanical bike downtown. There is no real speed advantage with the electric bikes for downhill travel, with them having their speeds rightfully capped (though I wouldn't mind a few extra clicks per km). I've begun noticing this behavior a lot recently too. Stations...

    I've been following this project closely wow, impressive turnaround time on the 3rd resubmission. It seems like they've already addressed some comments on the 4th submission in the April docs (no changes to site stats) and are on their way to the next North York Community Council on July 9th...

    Many of the other projects on The Queensway are quite real.

    This was my vision over a decade ago! It felt a bit like a pipe-dream when I made those suggestions at the time. Funny how things evolve.
