    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Users tune into this thread for the active developments, let’s filter out some of the other drivel. There is a separate thread here for discussion of the OL extension north of Eglinton. Post there or create another thread for the west extension if you wish.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    Gross misinterpretation but I give benefit of doubt, you understood enough but you bungled the paraphrasing. For the estimated development cost ($6.5B, no citation from video but assumed accurate for argument sake) and number of units (~8000), the average unit price would need to be at least...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    Yes the shared renders lack context. To be clear, phase 1+2 would demolish and replace 325 Front St. W and retain the ~16 story tower at 315 Front St. W. Phase 3 would then replace 315 with that tallest tower in the renders. I wouldn’t call it laughable but I agree it certainly will be revised...

    Montréal Transit Developments

    I’m not a huge fan of the Montreal metro but this is a beautiful station. It’s wide open and lofty, from the lowest platform the ceiling is about 4 stories high. Here’s a shot I took about 6 weeks ago.

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

    It’s incredibly frustrating that Doug Ford shook up city council back in 2018 with tons of cutbacks but has shown no concern for the bloated and plagued Metrolinx.

    Toronto Toronto | One Crosstown Towers I, II, III, and The Crest | 129.86m | 39s | Aspen Ridge | Core Architects

    Screenshots from an instagram story, posted by a very old friend who works in construction.

    Toronto Toronto | Sugar Wharf Condominiums (Phase 2) | 283.6m | 85s | Menkes | a—A

    Exciting if true, but on second thought… Looks like they’d fit 2 courts max, it would likely be as busy as the community centre across the street. Probably unpredictable winds as well 😓

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Shameful. It’s high time we see the pillory make a comeback. In all seriousness, after many incidents of this sort with special purpose trucks (not specifically in Toronto), I think we need to pass on some liability beyond the drivers to see some changes made. In this instance I think GFL or...

    No Union Park is east of Blue Jays Way, Rail Deck is west.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Entirely unrelated to this thread, you’ve already posted this in a relevant thread so please delete this post.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Before my time, thanks for the historical reference.

    He may be referring to Sidewalk Toronto, there’s good primer on Wikipedia and great book on the topic here.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    There is one right outside the T&T at Fairview. Usually looks fairly popular but never tried it.

    Toronto Toronto | East Harbour | 214.2m | 65s | Cadillac Fairview | Adamson

    I think most people here agree it would have been a lovely heritage structure to maintain. At the very least it would be nice if they didn’t demolish it so hastily. The big difference between this Unilever soap factory and the Molson brewery is the chemicals used. Most staff working in and...

    Toronto Toronto | Time and Space Condos | 101.8m | 29s | Pemberton | Wallman Architects

    Tried to get a half decent shot last night while passing this place, looks okay at first glance. But the slightest double take and you begin to see the uneven masonry, poorly installed seams of the facade and general lack of cohesion in design patterns. Take for instance the difference in...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Logan Ave. concrete pour begins Tuesday Dec 10 (tomorrow) at 7am. Road closure for girders begins Friday Dec 13 at 8pm.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Now now, it’s hardly reasonable to conflate skateboarding an empty concourse with stunt driving. Deterring skateboarders is the least of the City and TTCs worries. Legendary compilation, thanks for sharing!

    Some GTA Aerials by Tim MacDonald (Covid19 induced Boredom)

    There was craft show at the school Saturday and Sunday. Must have been popular!
