New loan on the site. Is this not *a lot* of money for something that's already half way done? Surely I'm missing something. Anyways, very excited for cladding to start coming along. This project, plus Gairloch's other build down the street should do a lot to pull this stretch of Dundas out of...

I know, just poking fun. That being said I'd really like to see this thing built.

Back in reality, it runs at 11 kilometers an hour.

Obviously just an entitlement for now, but I imagine as the OL nears completion this will come back into play. Still a very odd stretch of Parliament that has clearly never recovered from the Richmond/Adelaide/Eastern extensions and overpasses chopping up the area.

It's truly stunning how the same gaggle of people who argued against all evidence for years took the briefest of breaks from arguing their inane points in the week after Line 6's disastrous opening.... and then immediately continued on as if nothing had changed. It's clearly useless to try and...

https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/12/city-council-december-2025-zoning-refusals-towers-turned-back.60095 Refusal makes an appearance in this frontpage story. City Hall bowing to their masters in the Rosiest of Dales as per usual? LOL

The thousand "equity-based" NGOs we bankroll will come out with the greatest screech's you've ever heard should this be attempted, especially on Finch. Every stop that's there, will stay, unless the Province removes them, as the City never will.

I'm very explicitly addressing the fact that's not what he argued, but that his concern over slower car travel would be caused by the same grade conflicts that would slow LRT - NOT that he cared about that. Maybe read what I said before writing your next novel.

If you flip the concern over LRT's meeting cars at grade and thus slowing vehicular traffic, to see it as cars meeting LRT at grade and thus slowing transit operations (i.e having to stop at intersections), Ford and Mammo's concerns were quite explicitly about slow travel speeds, they just...

Why would we ever need to widen the sidewalk with a 10x in density on the site? Just keep that good old 2.1m slab rollin

In theory, yes. But infill stations, particularly in areas with low likely ridership and very limited development potential just don't make it past first glances when considering the complexity and cost of the projects. The Line 1 shutdowns alone would likely make the TTC wince at any idea of...

So you lived....not near the area in discussion....a significant number of years ago..... Struggling to see the relevance of your comment to the discussion at hand.

Checked the news lately buddy?

Garbage street level, for the love of god stop with the 12m glazing, but just relieved Mystic Muffin is not getting knocked down. Headline had me scared for a second.

20 minutes is not possible just due to station spacing (line 2, our fastest RT line, does a similar stretch in 40ish minutes) but just getting to the projected 39min run time that the whole business case was predicated on would be miraculous at this point
