Yes, as was first publicly reported here on UT back in February: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-peter-and-adelaide-152-39m-47s-graywood-bbb.21499/post-2053554

I don't want to tangent the thread much here, but I have to drop in to say Cineplex is such a poorly run company, they can't even turn a solid profit on a near monopoly. This is because their business model makes no sense, they've tried to max $ per customer ignoring all the empty seats making...

So its the fact that it was innovative for its time that give it merit in your mind?

I'm curious PE, no snark intended at all, what is is that you particularly like about the existing structure? I know there's a few UT'ers who do. I've read the Heritage Report. To me it misses the mark because I see Heritage preservation, generally, as an aesthetic matter, as opposed to...

The Masterplan was adopted at Committee with some minor tweaks. Two motions from Cllr Saxe: Also one made by Chair McKelvie on behalf of the Deputy Mayor: *** No harm in any of the above, firming up the targets on naturalization/restoration component and looking for more near-term...

Who expressed this concern? This is what I would expect, the cost of demo'ing a large home in order to replace it with multiplex of comparable size (there are lot coverage and setback requirements that dictate this) would not provide a good ROI in most cases. I would expect repurposing of...

I find the 7% figure exceedingly unlikely because offsetting conditions will be imposed. The question is which ones and how much of the savings they eat up. I also note the accessibility standards BC has introduced utterly obliterate any savings from the egress change.

Eglinton Connects tender is up for award today at Bid Award: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ba/bgrd/backgroundfile-247298.pdf

Someone was paying attention: ^^^^ The above was adopted, with an amendment:

Resubmission May '24 @Paclo Still at 7s.

I'm open to this argument, though I consider the density overall fairly reasonable........I'm not big champion of 20,000+ per km 2 here, there and everywhere. Is there room to go from ~10,000 to ~12,000 here, sure.... Accommodating more people within the City is necessary, even if we did...

Despite what the Admiral thinks, I actually like him, most days.......... LOL Which is why I'm sharing something....... There's a walk-in motion coming to Infrastructure and Environment today: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-247251.pdf It comes via...

Overall, I like it; but I can't go quite that far.......... I think the main floor height is just excessive and feels awkward and out of scale. Otherwise, I'm pretty pleased.

I like the look of the comfy chairs.................the green on the exterior is a tad jarring!

So, the Trudeau government again showing the intent to drive down wages rather than implement intelligent policy. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-considers-buying-hotels-to-house-asylum-seekers-to-cut-costs/ Marc Miller talking about the need to buy (more) hotels in...

Ha, at the same time BC is discussing moving ahead with Single Egress stairs, they are doing to require that all new housing units be accessible to the disabled. This will add more than $50,000 to typical unit construction costs and obliterate any savings from single-egress and then some...

Unlike others here, I don't do 'spin'. I post exact, real, numbers with citations. Spin is when you decide that the facts are positive or negative, I did no such thing, I simply put the facts out there to correct a statement that was not accurate. Sure, to a point. Leaders didn't...

@Allandale25 posted this clip of the Mx Board Meeting elsewhere: I'm not sure what's been reported out on timelines elsewhere and as a few are mentioned, I'm not going to search them all out. But I made these notes: 1) Caledonia Station (Barrie GO) on target to start construction by year's...

This is one is heading to Scarborough C of A @HousingNowTO drew this to my attention via a different proposal heading to the same meeting. This one has stayed steady on height...........but the form/massing is set to evolve as per the angular plane changes: @Paclo...

I think that's aggressive, as I note above. I support the proposal, and moving it through at an expedited timeline (something that should have happened moons ago, but we all know that story at this point) ..... But I'm not sure this is the right process track...... If this doesn't clear...
