It's still in the works, the Region of Waterloo owns land for it and has started preliminary engineering works, but for obvious reasons the KCTH has been the main focus.
Respectfully no. If the Province spent millions of dollars on Bloomington GO which exists in the middle of literal nothing and only has 4 departures and 5 arrivals a day from it, why on earth can KW not get a GO Station that connects to the billion dollar LRT system? Kitchener GO already has 20...
That stretch of the 401 between London and Kitchener closes multiple times a winter, it's the stretch between Woodstock and Kitchener that has a tendency to be the problem. It does get hit with snow squalls but not as bad as the 402, more often than not it's a weather related accident that...
This is has yet to have draft plan approval, the only projects near this one that are under construction are 1295 Bleams (topped out) and 1198 Fischer Hallman, with the first townhome block being framed.
The plan for the tunnel along Pape (assuming it hasn't changed since I last saw design drawings) was to remain above the bedrock the entire length. At Pape and Danforth the closest bedrock gets is about 40m below ground surface, the station structure is about 32m below surface, at Cosburn...
The fact they are including all 4 of those projects makes it seem like the MTO wants to protect for a future northern extension of the Hanlon and is going to redesign the connection of New 7 with 6 to protect for that. The Marden bypass study only makes sense if they're trying to connect 6 north...
Yes, its going predominantly through Georgian Bay Shale. In contrast the Pape TBMs will be above the bedrock and will go through a whole plethora of materials.
As Northern Light mentioned development is basically stalled out, there are a few SPAs and ZBA/OPAs that have been submitted since the whole problem came to light so it hasn't ground the industry to a complete halt yet, but a few developers are pivoting to other projects (Vive). Now for the...
The housing market fell apart and condos stopped selling. VanMar has all the approvals for both buildings (save building permits) and are still working behind the scenes on some other projects, the website is not a complete representation of what one actually owns or plans, VanMar is working on...
There hasn't been any movement on the building permits, so highly unlikely it will start construction anytime soon.
Keep in mind they were targeting closings in 2028 for it which is not going to happen. The cheapest price they had when sales launched was 540k for 503 sqft. There's similar...
As I mentioned in the 808 Courtland thread if this does get through OPA/ZBA (good luck with Waterloo council) this will have a holding provision until such time as the water capacity issue is resolved. As such this won't be seeing construction anytime soon.
The OPA and ZBA for this was approved by city council in January, with that said this (and pretty much every other project in KW) will not be going ahead anytime soon. This has a holding provision that states "a study determining adequate water supply capacity has been completed, or the Region...
The first two cranes are now up for this site, the second one was going up this weekend. They're both luffing jib cranes which is an uncommon sight for KW.
