Let's just extend this thing west by 1 station, come on. Probably the cheapest one stop addition the TTC could do right now, with significant ridership to come. Would also save all the local bus routes from coming all the way into Kipling, it would almost be cost neutral.

It's not so much an issue for those of us living here as it is with visitors / retail customers. I always use the North ramp in and out straight to the lights so I always avoid the entire ground level parking/drive through.

Montreal also knows how to competently operate a transit agency. They incentivize their citizens to ride transit outside of peak hours with things like 5$ evening unlimited passes, which has actually had the effect of greater revenue (despite lower cost to each rider) because it is so...

Retail only at Ground level of the section of the building that fronts onto Lake Shore? Or all of the ground level?

The south "expansion" as they are labelling it (more of a repurposing/renovation isn't it?) is opening Aug 29th. Confirmed retailers include: Nordstrom, Zara, Saje (which has been jumping around in the mall lately, this will be its 3rd spot in less than 2 years), Loding, Squish, Nike (also...

I'm not a fan of my local councillor, but it becomes a systemic issue when population projections used by Planning to project services/representation are, what appears to me, deliberately skewed to favour certain areas - and not others, to ensure those favoured (read rich) areas get more...

I grew up in Timmins, so I loved seeing my hometown there. Even though Highway 11 doesn't even go through Timmins lol, it's about another 45 minutes on Highway 101 (off of 11) before you get to Timmins, so not sure why it was even listed.

The problem isn't so much sprawl as it is demand in one small geographic area. If this kind of development was spread out across all of Ontario, it wouldn't really be an issue. I like what Ontario is doing with the anti-sprawl policy, but from my understanding, it applies to all of Southern...

I live at Humber Bay Shores and commute west in the morning, and I agree the traffic goes in all directions. I've been surprised in my discussions with neighbours that many do not seem to work downtown. A lot of us seem to work in Mississauga, Oakville, a few I've met work in York region, and...

I'm curious to know where they found the numbers for the population projections. Some of them seem way off. Take Ward 6 for example, it says it will only add about 5,000 new residents by 2030. Pretty sure what is currently U/C will already add significantly more than 5000 in the next year or...

What happened at the OMB with this?

Jane is not in Etobicoke. A Kipling LRT could work.

Nice maps. No North-South connections for Etobicoke, though?

I think that is too many stops. Cut that down by a half or more.

This is why I brought up the issue at Renforth. See the slide below from Metrolinx. The station literally spans the municipal border. It would make sense for MiWay to take commuters from this point to transport them within the City of Mississauga, and for the TTC to do the same in Toronto...

Well, it's obviously not most, but from my, admitted anecdotal, observations and discussions, there are a good chunk of people who commute to/near Kipling/Islington who have strategically chosen to live in Mississauga.

Not at all. This is essentially two points within Toronto, though.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any mention of this at Toronto City Council. They have been all over/upset that they have to "foot the bill" for the TTC stations running in York Region. Here is an opportunity they have to make some money (if they took over service between Renforth and...

It's embarrassing that Sorbara and Del Duca are not facing any kind of charges. Building a Go Station in the middle of nowhere in Vaughan, yet urban areas that have seen their population grow by over 20 thousand people in the last decade (think Humber Bay Shore) don't deserve rapid transit...

Any news on who the "exciting" retailer will be?
