I might be late to the party here, but does anyone know why ground level retail is not happening here? It's on St Clair, I don't get it.

THANK YOU!!!

How did you access the old style Application Information Centre webpage? The new one is notoriously slow and takes forever just to list available documents. Downloading them is even worse... Thanks for the update :)

With RER implemented, I suspect we will also see lesser need for Union bound buses and a shift to outer RER terminals with rail connections to Union. Its pure hypothetical conjecture, but it may prove more economical for Metrolinx to have some bums in faster already scheduled trains rather than...

Jeez the construction balcony guards look better than the final product will. Some yellow rails/glass would have looked good on this drudgery!

Waterfront Toronto is considering the removal of the Port Lands Rail Spur. pulled this from the Dec 25, 2019 board meeting appendix. Link...

really like the pedestrian level treatment here. It's legible, nods to the area's history, brings some colour variation, and breaks up the facade with a variety of materials/lighting. Hoping this part doesn't get watered down in future revisions.

Crews out on Dundas working in the catenary today. They have been moving eastward from Victoria. I suspect upgrading frogs etc for pantos

It's going to be precast concrete (red brick motif) with some parts indented and others not to provide the rendered style. I'm hopeful it works out. Getting some serious Parlaiment Data Centre vibes from this (minus the terracota). And Damn those internal plans for the podium are complex. 3...

The area around the 403 was cost intensive (the bridge over the highway connexting king and main, the longwood bridge). But i cant fathom that things trippled in cost. thats crazy. and if thats the reality, how the hell do they expect to build anything in this province anymore... (SSE and...

thanks. i missed that development. edited to correct. So then what the hell are the municipal operating costs? fare subsidies? https://www.raisethehammer.org/article/3439/compromise_motion_to_ensure_lrt_workers_are_atu_members

here it is

It's a complete lie they are selling. Full stop. The costs on Capital construction may have increased, but the $5.5 billion cost is a combination of Constructing+Financing+Maintenance+Operations. This is not a 5x balooning of costs. It's the assembling of a variety of costs which were implicit...

IIRC the school is going on Block 8, adjacent to the park.

I think these are roughly the lands they are using.

Unsure why they didnt go for something more like 2376 Dundas St W (https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/2376-dundas-west) Half the site is essentially vacant. They may have FSI limitations they can achieve on the site which are the reason.

Thanks! I had no idea. I looked at their yards on Google Maps and you're right. I can't unsee it now and I'll notice it everytime I'm on a train ?

Could it be an issue of a standing train on mainline track stationery so close to a junction? It looks like there is enough space between the end of the overpass and switch for a loco to stick out beyond the overpass and still have a line of sight to the signal bridge

I suspect the upper level is accessible via elevator? I can't imagine they would propose otherwise

?Stellar example of mixed use single-site planning in a way which actually gives back to the community. TAS needs to be commended for the effort here. Hoping they work out any links with city planning that gets this over the line.
