To add to the above: Here is a map from that report. (EDIT: I also discovered a couple months ago that the Lakeview Village Park has some funding allocated to it in the city's 10-year capital plan for parks. The slide below is from a 2026 budget presentation. I'm not sure how quickly it will...

I wonder now about access from areas east of Yonge. If a north-south pedestrian tunnel were built, those additional entrances would be able to serve both the Pinnacle One Yonge development, as well as any redevelopment of the Church Street parking garage. Jarvis will also now be less than 400...

This project has been raised in the city's annual federal budget request. The city is apparently asking for a Waterfront Toronto-style partnership between the three levels of government. From the budget submission:

Aurora GO on the Barrie line is scheduled to see a "full track reconstruction" next month.

Apparently, they have to build the Hurontario LRT on top first. :) (Yes, this is a real notice.) I imagine they'll correct the image soon, but until then...

At the VIA Rail station, I think.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned here, I feel I should note that there is an existing Perth County transit bus (branded as PC Connect), which runs from Stratford to Kitchener GO with three round trips daily on weekdays. The Stratford Festival also seems to run buses directly to its theatres...

If this is looking north to King, then they are also supposed to be laying down a concrete beam somewhere as part of the bridge works.

A zoning application was filed to add a Chick Fil A south of the mall, along Eglinton. It's a little painful to realize that hundreds of pages of reports, and city council permission, are apparently required to build a one storey drive-through restaurant.

The city published the details of the settlement this week. Here is the city's press release, and a CBC news article about the settlement. As part of the settlement, the condo boards have agreed to pay for security cameras, speed bumps, and access gates. The condo boards will also pay for...

This CTV article is informative. From the article:

This CP24 article has some Stratford ridership details. 16,000 riders annually is an average of 43.8 riders per day, or about 22 riders per train.

It doesn't sound like it. The CBC listed some travel times. I checked the Kitchener line schedule. If it takes an hour and 45 minutes to get to Kitchener from Union, then a 2 1/2 hour trip to Stratford implies a 45 minute trip from Kitchener to Stratford.

Metrolinx says there will be lane closures on Sheppard Ave for the next 6 months as part of the work on the Barrie rail corridor and Downsview Park GO. Apparently there will also be a full road closure in October, but the notice doesn't say how many days that closure will last. From the notice:

My guess is that it's a staffing issue. There aren't a lot of dedicated transit reporters left. Transit issues seem these days to be covered by city hall or Queen's Park reporters, and I expect they have a lot of other things to cover. With falling print ad revenue squeezing media outlets'...
