Another guy with a kid here, and I echo Evans comments. We live in the canary district, and it gets more lively as the weather improves. Alex you need to spend a spring / summer evening here. Front Street between Cooperage and Rolling Mills is full of kids playing, unsupervised, unstructured...

Under my proposed plan, when you ramp down from cherry you wouldn't ramp back up, there's is no where to ramp. You would travel at grade to the dvp (the dvp is at grade not elevated). Yes there will be time added to commuters, but previous studies have shown that this stretch of Gardiner is...

I'd like to see city staff present an option where 1) Jarvis to cherry is retained (solely because it's been completed) 2) demolish the existing elevated Gardiner east of cherry 3) partially build new elevated Gardiner from cherry to DVP along the hybrid 3 alignment just enough to get the...

[/MEDIA] This might actually be a sign that things are moving ahead. Planning and design work including site plan approval which must take place prior to construction will take at least two years. This may be a sign that there is an agreement between the province the developer and maybe even...

Re: the kitchen backsplash is also the window to your bedroom. I found some floor plans that I was sent by the developer that show this more clearly. I've never seen this before, and frankly think this is laughable. The sorry state of housing and a sign that the industry is under so much...

I also wonder who is buying these. I liked the style of the building, and was disappointed when the floorplans were release. The suite layouts were terrible. Super deep and skinny units, even for Toronto standards. I was also really turned off by the kitchen backsplash is also the window to your...

Happy to report we are on the train, we were only delayed one hour. Unfortunately not on the new fleet. As for communications, via let's us know around nine pm last night that service was running and that our trains definitely departure was pushed back one hour.

I'm booked for a trip from Toronto to Ottawa tomorrow (Tuesday December 27). Anybody care to weigh in or wager: 1) will service be running tomorrow? 2) if yes, what are the odds I will be riding the new fleet 3) if service is cancelled, what time today (Monday December 26) via will announce...

Do we know when the intersection and new cherry st opens for pedestrians and cyclists?

There are many many downsides to the super high density you are advocating for. Dog poop everywhere, noise, overflowing garbage and recycling bins. Allow me to use a bit of hyperbole, and Google "living in ICE condominiums", this type of density does not breed desirable living conditions. We...

It will be interesting to see if there is appetite for these changes in the short to medium term. Eastern Ave. is the main vehicle detour route while Lake Shore Boulevard East (LSBE) is being reconfigured until 2024. Assuming the Gardiner East (Cherry to Don) will be under construction after...

It would be nice to see traffic calming or speed reductions on Eastern Ave as part of this proposal. Eastern Ave westbound coming down the ramp is like a highway, and the north sidewalk is not very pleasant. The plan shows a nice wide pedestrian crossing but this will only work if traffic is...

There are far cheaper ways to get a large park than building over the rail corridor. The structure alone to do this is a billion dollar plus capital expenditure. If the City was serious about parkland downtown they would explore alternatives such as acquiring land downtown that could be more...

I got a brochure in the mail from the City that says the trail will be closed for most of 2021. They will first convert Bayview ave to a multituse trail as a detour from Corktown common to Rosedale Valley road, and then close the lower don trail for construction.
