I was told at the open house that they spent hours and hours deciding what colours should the wall be and how it affects people. I guess reddish-orange is good.
did they hire consultants for that too?I was told at the open house that they spent hours and hours deciding what colours should the wall be and how it affects people. I guess reddish-orange is good.
It was talks between Metrolinx and the consortium. I assume there must be some expertise from the consortium. They say did their homework on the area. They design the size of the buildings for visibility and avoiding alleyways/hard to see locations that would become crime committing places.did they hire consultants for that too?
They wanted something that people can walk in and out instead of forcing people to sit for an hour starting at a specific time. It was about Keelesdale not the entire line and was design for locals wondering about the situation. They try to put it closest to the entire line.

Governments get money from our taxes. Social media websites get their money from selling personal information to advertisers. We should be able to access everything a government is allowed to offer to the public without having to resort to registering onto a commercial for-profit website. We are already paying taxes to the government. There is a good reason why some people browse using Firefox on Linux.Thanks for sharing - the trend of using Slideshare which does not allow you to download any presentations unless you sign up or login with your social media account is incredibly annoying and a dubious practice for a government body.

They don't want to host it themselves when they can host it somewhere else for free cause the presentation is like 55MB. Bandwidth adds up quickly when 1000 users download large files. They're already wasteful and I'm sure they don't need to spend another $500+ on internet bandwidth.Governments get money from our taxes.

One more thing, SlideShare is owned by LinkedIn, which is itself a for-profit social media website.

It's happening...
I may not be paying enough attention. What's happening? And was it unexpected?
