    Zoning Reform Ideas

    Caledon's mayor has used all the Planning/Zoning reforms to push through 2,000 acres of new sprawl on ecologically sensitive and agricultural lands; and there's no recourse to the OLT. This @HousingNowTO is the problem with subverting democracy for a good cause........once you break the rules...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'm picturing you at your most urbane, standing on the corner, calmly, as your waiter hands you a long-stemmed glass of straw hued Veuve, alive w/bubbles.......... and thinking what's so hard about that explanation? LOL

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    I haven't looked too closely at it, but to my recollection, most LCBOs are down to 1 full-time, non-management staffer. The larger, high-volume stores may have a handful. I like the LCBO at its best, for the selection, as you note, for knowledgeable staff (some of the product consultants) and...

    LCBO / The Beer Store

    Seems like a too-late to work strategy to me......... Marketshare for the LCBO is about to be eroded...., there will be closures and layoffs within the year.........going out now costs the government some money........ but aside from transferable business to the Wine Rack/ Wine Shoppe...

    Hamilton McMaster University Campus Master Plan | ?m | ?s | McMaster University | BDP Quadrangle

    Yes. Again, they can't build here.......its the law. Very much disagree, clearly the environment is not an area of interest to you, sobeit, I won't try to convince you otherwise, though I would tell you dismissing its value probably doesn't help your arguments w/most readers.

    Hamilton McMaster University Campus Master Plan | ?m | ?s | McMaster University | BDP Quadrangle

    We will have to disagree. As noted above by @Chris R. McMaster doesn't lack space for new or intensified buildings. The opportunity to meaningfully enhance a local ecosystem that is an ESA (Environmentally Sensitive Area) and add biodiversity and possibly research opportunities and maybe...

    Hamilton McMaster University Campus Master Plan | ?m | ?s | McMaster University | BDP Quadrangle

    ? Its a regulated floodplain; you can't build residential, and even an academic building wouldn't normally be permitted, parking is permitted. No new buildings, more or less, in the beige cloud. They are proposing to build a new residence next to Osler which is not in the floodplain...

    Parks - new & revitalized

    Thanks. Let me bring some of the material forward: I prefer Design A. Its a bit more treed, I think the more extensive meadow-only section in Option B wouldn't be as attractive to people to engage with, particularly on 'extreme' days of either heat or cold. Its...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Ummm In only one 2-hour segment, in one direction, did travel time increase greater than 50%. I agree that's material........ but its not the same as travel time in increasing by that much across most day parts or both directions. *** That said, a closer examination reveals the majority of...

    Toronto West Don Lands: Block 13 | 139.31m | 43s | Dream | Henriquez Partners

    Ok.....I'm going to join the pile-on here..........but after stating the obvious, I'm going to try a few different tacks. Lets start with the obvious though: 1) The colour has shifted from warm, vibrant and interesting, playing w/over lapping warm tones that shift on the building face to...
