    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I agree this is very frustrating! If you look at this update posted by Metrolinx this week, it notes that : "The second upgrade recently completed is a new second platform at Guelph Central GO Station The new platform helps expand GO Train service on the Kitchener Line by creating the...

    TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

    Phase 2 of RapidTO Jane consultation was scheduled for Q1 2024, then delayed to Spring 2024, now the website has been updated showing consultation delayed to Fall 2024! Really disappointing. In January staff told council they were ready to move forward with the next phase of consultation, so why...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT: Eglinton Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Is this the passageway that was located west of Yonge Street or the one that was directly underneath Yonge Street? I recall there were two accesses from the YE Centre.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Very interesting but unfortunate. Is there a way to remove the speed restriction or is this something non-negotiable imposed by Transport Canada?

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    @Northern Light The Eglinton TOday page has been updated with some stakeholder meeting group summaries that include project updates. In the January update there is a grainy presentation slide with an updated map. It appears to show the four lane cross section extended east from Bathurst to...

    Two-way cycle track on Roselawn/ Elm Ridge from east side of Allen Road to Marlee and two-way cycle track on Marlee from Roselawn to Eglinton. https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/beltline-trail-gap-project/

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    All good stuff, but disappointing EglintonTOday did not make it on to the agenda. It has been bumped to early May. I give staff credit for moving forward with converting Jones to a cycle track despite parking loss and negative resident feedback. The upcoming roadwork is the perfect opportunity...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Completely agree on this. Taking the train to West Harbour from Union is great, except that it takes ~80min because most of the trip is spent accelerating and decelerating due to the relatively close spacing of stations the whole way and use of diesels hauling 12 bi-level cars. The train trip...

    VIA Rail

    From VIA's Corporate Plan/Budget released October 2023. It shows VIA was allocated $490m for infrastructure investments including reducing bottlenecks 3 years ago and they've spent less than 2% of the allocated funds so far. Are they advancing any projects...

    Toronto Toronto | 68 Wellesley Street East | 91.9m | 28s | KingSett Capital | BDP Quadrangle

    I hope they scrape all that white paint off the heritage facades. The tower setbacks are pretty small to the north and east, less than 6m.

    So has there been any planning/engineering work going on since the Feds' offer or have Milton Line improvements been completely stalled for 2+ years?

    370 Dundas West/133-147 Beverley/ 41 D’Arcy

    I seem to recall these were owned by TCHC? This could just be part of their initiative to transfer small sites to non-profits. The submitted applications are only minor variances and a consent to sever.

    Toronto Toronto | Canary House | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | BDP Quadrangle

    Is what we saw in the photo the final product or does it look different after absorbing?

    With University needing resurfacing, was there no way to integrate/ future proof for University Park?

    Toronto Toronto | Canary House | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | BDP Quadrangle

    How the hell were they allowed to paint this designated heritage building bright orange? Abomination!

    2512R Yonge Street (Future Development Site)

    My understanding is that the adjacent private school was renting the open space from the Orange Hall and using it as their only at-grade play space, and they subsequently purchased it.

    Toronto Toronto | The Twelve Hundred | 29.32m | 8s | Fieldgate | Arcadis

    The corner is rounded in the rendering. The brick treatment on that corner looks hideous in the photos.

    The curb cuts are quite long to allow for driveway access across this bidirectional cycle track, which leaves enough space for vehicles to enter in some cases. Not sure how that can be fixed if the driveways need to remain operational.
