About time we hear about this. Not surprised at them wanting to get rid of the Sears building considering it is dead space right now, but I didn't think that would be part they would redevelop first (I thought they would do one of the parcels of parking in between the Peel building and the...

Interesting thread. I'm from Brampton and I'll have been in London for four years (!!!) this August. Some thoughts/clarifications/etc on some of your thoughts here. 1. Bike Lanes: The council in charge of Kensington and Chelsea is notorious for being anti-bike lane. Most of the pop-up bike...

I do wonder with the big wide spaces between the pillars, whether there'd be the opportunity to place retail underneath, especially some of those that are being displaced by the MSF. And before you say, no one will locate underneath, I will point out several examples of shops, gyms...

In the 30 years we were Canada, my parents never took us to the Canadian domain because it would take too long to go up and down. Numerous trips at school avoided the walk up and down as well.

Disappointing, if not expected, that it's just at AGO site. This could have been that "Catalytic Destination" that Waterfront Toronto has been planning for the Lower Don Lands.

Oh, the post office site! I remember this being one of those sites the City of Waterloo would support UW planning classes on Imagineering ideas.

It's probably not a priority. It's probably more of a quick win in terms of cost, compared to other WT projects.

It will stop at every stop because, if you've ever travelled along the 36 Finch West, there are people at every stop. The FWLRT is being built because the TTC has run out of efficient vehicle capacity on Finch West, not to provide a faster journey time. It serves a lot of lower income people who...

Considering that the Places to Grow Act minimum density targets have been there since 2006....no? And also, Metrolinx and The Big Move were made to coordinate with P2G Act (they were supposed to be built out in conjunction!) so the subway/rapid transit has been on paper for RHC for well over...

Almost all of your issues could be solved very simply with more soft infrastructure on the island. There most definitely needs to be more trash cans/recycling bins and there needs to be a lot more public bathrooms. Vandalism is shitty people, but vandals come in all flavours, including rich...

Surprising they're going with those bricks. Won't they be replaced with the red brick like the rest of Queen's Quay in the (hopefully not too distant) future?

Another proposed development in east Brampton, along Queen Street this time. On the northwest corner of Queen Street East and McVean. Composed of two building, a two storey building for commercial uses, the other is a 8 storey mixed-used podium and a 34 storey mixed use tower. 776 proposed...

Proposed, phased development for 205 County Court in Brampton, pretty much adjacent to the County Court LRT stop. Currently on site is a 7 storey office building which will be staying, which is part of Phase 1 and owned by Kallo Developments. Second phase will be a 34 storey residential...

Pre-consultation proposal to build a 20 storey residential apartment in Brampton on Torbram Road, just north of North Park Drive. Site is zoned institutional, as previously the church (now a temple) to the immediate south of the site used to have a bigger compound.188 residential units and 4...

In pre-consultation, at the corner of Church Street and Sophia Street in Brampton, across from the Brampton Cemetery. Three midrise buildings between 8 and 14 stories and two sets of stacked, back-to-back townhouse units. Purely residential at this point, no renders as of yet, just a site plan...

Of course, what's really buoying Pret's success in London at the moment is their coffee subscription, which I can't believe no one else is doing: https://www.pret.co.uk/en-GB/pretcoffeesub

Looking more and more like Highbury & Islington here in London...

Highway 407 Station has knockout panels and was positioned in a way to support the far-future 407 Transitway station platforms.

When I worked in the TTC in 2017, this attitude was pervasive amongst some staff as well. I remember someone called on the edge of Toronto, having no idea how to go onwards to Brampton and the person on the phone was unsympathetic, and didn't even provide a BramTrans phone number.

Better than the Kitchener start, which was about 15-20 people.
