I wonder what would get Esam looking at developing this now? They have held these lands for over half a century and other than the Cherryhill Apartments and one tower on Proudfoot built over 30 years ago I don't think they have done anything substantial since (other than cheap retail).

Normally you put a don't walk sign on one side of an intersection when you would prefer that they use an alternate side of the intersection to cross safely. In this case as a pedestrian, if you obey the signs are stuck in the grass with no way out. There is no safe side of the intersection...

Pre-clearance to the US makes sense in Montreal, Niagara Falls, or Vancouver, but Toronto is quite a ways from the border so the train would miss the opportunity to serve places along the way. Pre-clearance is better than post clearance for that kind of distance though... if something happens...

This is what happens when people sitting in an office or working from home order a bunch of signs and explain where to install them without visiting the site. It is hard to even understand the intent. Don't walk here, this is the start of a sidewalk, followed by a sign that says bike on the...

The blue fabric with a marble like pattern that matches the grey door and grey panels?

If you go to the Barrie Line "what are we building site" and click "Caledonia GO" you will see that the site has been taken down. Perhaps it has been cancelled until further re-announcement.

I can't wait to see all these GO stations preparing for the future RER style service to get under construction, especially the Ontario line connections at Exhibition and East Harbour stations since they are such formidable stations. They are the biggest stations built since Our Lady of the...

No meaningful efforts to plan for a wye made during the construction of Sheppard West (then Downsview) station.

This is new. What the ??? Edit: I found the reference, an art piece paying homage to Elia PS, a school in the area from 1873-1956. I like the concept but I would have preferred if they took it a bit further, maybe the top completely finished, maybe something more reaching the ground. It...

I'm sure Amtrak is looking at the short distance associated with this border crossing and the easier "everyone disembarks" customs and border control as a win because they will likely carry more revenue paying customers without much new operating expense. The Maple Leaf border crossing...

It seems like this new Line 3 - Ontario Line indigo colour is a little to similar to the Sheppard Line colour to me. Originally the wayfinding material suggested a more pale blue with black lettering (in contrast with the white lettering on the yellow and green line) which would have been...

You don't understand the service. Urban Sky's post of Amtrak material details the customer experience down to train timings and the activity at the border.

I agree that is a worthwhile goal but it is clear they are doing this on the cheap which is probably fine for proving a market. VIA isn't going to pay for a major station lease at Detroit Michigan Central... Canadian tax dollars paying for a major facility outside of Canada is a bit of a...

Unfortunately there is too much politics to have clear guidance on station naming. When it was decided Eglinton West was to be renamed Cedarvale the people in charge of that decision likely would have regurgitated a bit at the thought of Durham College Oshawa station. At that time there was...

The border clearance facility being in Detroit makes more sense from a destination / terminus perspective. The Windsor terminus makes more sense from a "don't move Windsor station", and US pre-clearance perspective. Detroit's rebuilt station would be an excellent place for customs hall and a...

I can see taking a picture and reporting the driver if they entered an intersection they can't get out of, but it definitely defeats the purpose to make the situation worse by creating a bigger traffic jam.

Interesting... why is the colour not blue??

Fixed. Spot the difference :)

The good news is that they haven't touched the heritage building and community gathering place on the north west corner.
