This is all well and good until you realize that Westbank is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. When your company is at stake you tend to make.. different decisions.

open border also brings the US problems north.. Guns especially. I'm not sure an entirely open border is an appropriate response - but certainly something much less stringent than current regulations. Making it easier for Citizens of each country to cross and live / work in either country, if...

Crane is up here. Latest arch plans from August 2023 have it as a 9-storey, 272-suite Hilton Garden Inn, with the Hampton Inn dropped:

yup, this is definitely real and definitely happening.

One curious thing in that release is the claimed travel time of 40 minutes end to end on the line. That is rather slow, no? That's an average speed of only 23km/h. It's also significantly different than the "less than 30 minutes" on Metrolinx's primary website for the OL...

Perhaps. The Active procurement list for Transit and Transportation is now down to just 4 projects: You are probably right that the province is shifting to traditional procurement and not using IO for these projects any longer, but that is a surprise if it is the case. Especially for the...

Keep it more or less as is from my understanding

I thought 15 minute service had been extended to Bradford?

If they already have tenants for phase 1 that is excellent news.

Eh. Not loving it, it's not really walking distance from the GO Station so the density is rather high.

Damn, I drove by it on my way home last night and debated stopping. Apparently I should have!

This is one of the first times the City did heritage retention in development, right?

underground will average about 30-35km and above-ground will average about 20-25km/h. So ~14 minutes for Mount Dennis to Yonge St, for example, or 26 minutes for Kennedy to Yonge (this one aligns with the published travel times).
