    Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)

    For the time they're taking and the charge-back to the City (Mx is the builder here), you'd think the entire thing was going to paved in granite; but tis not so.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I'm with the planners here, with zero equivocation. There's no subway here, this is already ultra-high density, and the endless cry for more is without any logical foundation or workable comparison. Facts matter, math matters. Critics who don't call for slashing the number of foreign...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    The height over the GO line in isolation is not a great feat unto itself. But you have to hold that height from somewhere west of Kennedy (you have to clear that intersection at height), until somewhere east of the CP mainline if you stay in the Sheppard corridor. Also, the station box is...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    There is no contemplation of stand-alone lines. Sheppard passes underneath the GO Line, the GO Line is at-grade.

    Toronto Michael Garron Hospital, Toronto East Health Network | ?m | 8s | Infrastructure Ontar | Diamond Schmitt

    Not much of an update pictorially, as not much has changed from the outside recently. Major demolition will not not begin until sometime next year. Work is, however, ongoing to renovate/restore 'D Wing' from the original hospital: Just one pic, taken June 30th, 2024 which shows new...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I don't believe so....... let me show you why: In the above, lets assume your subway/metro is approaching from the west towards the Stouffville Line Notice that immediately east of Kennedy is Highland Creek. If you are going under the GO Line you do not have room available to get down to...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    If we can cut to the chase here............. Sheppard will likely include bored tunnel, but the bulk of it can be built cut-and-cover {whether that choice is made or not being a different issue) The very first portion of Sheppard will go under the 404/DVP, that will be bored tunnel, I can't...

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    Your wrong. Don't get me wrong, it won't all change in that time window, but large bits of it will.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Here the challenge would be what @Amare discusses vis a vis Kipling. Do those 'minor' streets connect to where cyclists want to go? I would argue the primary destinations will be (not necessarily in order) a) Humber College Lakeshore b) Major High Schools c) Subway Stations d) Grocery...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    There will be, its been approved for installation as far into Etobicoke as Royal York, further west will come later. What about Humber College which is located at the foot of Kipling Avenue? Presumably not a likely destination for you, but certainly a meaningful destination for many...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Wilson has room for about 6 more storage tracks. That's not quite enough for Sheppard in an extended form. If there were no east end yard, that would be managed (in theory) by building extra space on the new Yonge North yard, and by shifting some trains currently stored at Wilson to the...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Now you're making me want to see what a 750m2 floor plate in the roughly the above shape would look like............I say roughly, because I'm thinking that @mburrrrr 's cuddly K-9 could be the model Now how would they emulate Lola's fur: And how would they maintain it!

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Designs with landscaped buffers have been done for Sheppard, Queensway and Gerrard among others..............you'll see a lot more of that in the years ahead. We've already introduced a few small bits on Dundas East and Danforth east of Dawes. These two did not feature trees, due to utility...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    What if it doesn't involve cutting a travel lane (for vehicles) ? What if the centre turn lane comes out (left hand turn lanes at lights remain).....but you get a 3M trail down one of the boulevards? Just asking. In fairness, maybe the low number is because of how inhospitable/unsafe the...

    Its certainly a positive and among the better numbers globally, but I think this would merit favourable comparison? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Paris_Express
