    Brampton 200 County Court Boulevard | 150.15m | 44s | Stanford Homes | superkül

    I worked for the Census in 2016 and let me assure you that surveyors in fact do this this. I spent a summer essentially processing all those extra units.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    Toronto's version of the Waterloo & City line...the Water & City line?

    Toronto Quayside | ?m | ?s | Dream

    It would be interesting for a new museum, maybe of the Toronto Portlands/industrial history? There are quite a few waterfront/port museums around the world. Or maybe a branch of an existing museum? ROM / AGO East? Thinking something similar to the V&A East.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Yes, odd they didn't go with the Bramalea Library. Lots of space and easy access....

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    New planning submission for the Bramalea Transit Terminal. File SPA-2022-0212. No documents yet but: The work consists of rehabilitation of Bramalea Transit Terminal for full depth reconstruction at the terminal for failed pavement for safe operation of transit buses and pedestrian access. The...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    This is a search engine issue, and it's something the TTC can't control (I know, I work on a university site and we have ghost pages appear all the time). They have route pages, but Google is not picking them up, but still has the old one cached.

    Brampton 2009 Steeles Avenue West | 34.3m | 10s | TFT | 2M

    That is one hideous banquet hall design.

    Brampton 263 Queen Street East | ?m | 46s | Soneil Investments Inc

    The city is planning for two Mixed Community Hubs (mix of recreation/school/library), that came out of the Brampton 2040 vision. General plans are here, and I've skimmed through some city minutes earlier this year that indicates they are actively working on the Shopper's World one.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    It's been clarified that it's more than one station...but this is something Metrolinx should consider; other cities have done it before. The central Crossrail tunnel here in London opened without the key interchange at Bond Street which is opening in late October, four months after the line opened.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    This post from Steven Munro way back in 2009 implies the original funding announcement was to take it east to Don Mills Road and then south to Don Mills Station on Line 4.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    I can't remember how popular the 185 was but the 18 Dixie has consistently been overcapacity for years now, particular south of Queen towards the industrial areas and it honestly feel like it and 7 Kennedy, which both have massive ridership from working class people in employment areas have been...

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    I worked in the TTC Customer Service Centre for a year. The route supervisors are watching; the fault is that operators don't listen and basically ignore any edicts from management. We'd have repeat cases from riders, for example, of issues on the cross-border routes where the supervisors and...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    As someone from the GTA who currently lives in London and has for the past four years, all I will say is nearly every British person I've met here that has been to Toronto really enjoys it and would love to go back to visit, or they've heard good things and are planning to go one day. And on...

    Vaughan RioCan Colossus Centre Redevelopment | ?m | 55s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Because it's meant to support several routes, some of which will branch off the Transitway to serve various destinations, town centres, etc.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    It looks similar to what my Starbucks app in the UK does. I wonder if this is to support more things like PRESTO Perks or better capping.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Seemingly, they've already started testing the LRVs on a bit track? Link

    Montréal Transit Developments

    Interesting that they've chosen a dual fare system, similar to London's fare system. Yes, London famously has nine zones but that only applies to rail (Tube, Crossrail, DLR, Overground, Trams); there is a different structure for buses.

    Toronto Metropolitan University (Ryerson) Campus Public Realm

    Never heard of this ranking. The main rankings that universities care about are QS and Times Higher Education. I can't login into THE account at the moment, but QS has Toronto Metropolitan as 800-1000 overall, and then between being in the top 101 to 520 depending on subjects (Art & Design, TMU...

    Discriminatory hiring practices

    I work for a business school at a London university. The school is relatively new, but they made the deliberate note to not launch with an MBA. Regardless of not offering one, we get TONS of questions asking about our MBA because people expect it of an older university; the problem is that most...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    A cursory Google search reveals that both Singapore and Norway have better social care models to help the homeless get into housing.
