Adding a temporary GO station served by two lines and one stop away from Union would be easy enough to do as a first step, no? That should be sufficient for Day 1 if a major company (Amazon or anyone else) decided to commit to the old factory and future development, with the rest of the...

Nice vantage point!

Anyone have a sense of when enough of the new second track will be finished for the current schedule to be extended to at least Mount Joy? The line ups and crowding on the connecting buses are getting pretty intense, especially since all the students are back.

Amazing photograph -- although I might title it Spandrel City.

This is hard to look at!

Welcome to UT! I take Markham GO, so I'm also inconvenienced (to a lesser extent) by the trips that end at Unionville, but I still think it's a step in the right direction. Traffic on the DVP and within Markham gets worse every year and the 59 minutes is only when there is minimal traffic. I've...

Changes to the above plan are proposed and would now consist of a dealership/service centre on the corner and a four-story (up from two) mixed-used building to the west of the site. Mercedes is already opening a dealership inside the mall (Mercedes Me) near where the old Sears is being...

Yes, "Ontario is investing $127 million." It was approved in principal before but without any funding. No surprise though...

The question mark next to Stouffville in 2016-17 was this: https://news.ontario.ca/mto/en/2016/12/more-go-train-service-for-families-in-york-and-durham-regions.html

I think it makes GO much more usable for those stations in Toronto that don't have accompanying bus service. Stouffville used to have higher ridership than Barrie before Barrie started getting more trains, so I really do think it's largely about service. The new York University campus that will...

This is amazing news for the Stouffville line! The "two existing train trips extended from Unionville GO Station to Lincolnville GO Station" are for both the am/pm runs (four runs total according to online schedule), which is really helpful and a nice surprise and makes up a bit for all the...

Height increases approved unanimously. https://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/7331620-downtown-markham-could-climb-to-40-storeys-or-more-in-near-future/

Wow! Who or what is ORCA?

It's starting off well so far in terms of variety, IMO, given there's a Milestones, a Japanese place, a middle eastern place, a seafood place, soon a restaurant from PEI, soon a Ruth Chris steakhouse, etc. As a non-Asian, I don't really mind if there's a few too many bubble tea places as long...

Mods, please rename "Gallery Square" https://www.vipdowntownmarkham.com/

There is a thread for the new Birchmount development here: http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/downtown-markham-condo-birchmount-simcoe-promenade-remington-16-x-2-8s.27146/ I'm not sure if the development is called "NEST" or if that's a placeholder for the anchor retail space. Interesting...

Downtown Markham wants in on the new "internal shopping street" fad! This project is just north of the new Marriott. 163,611 square feet of retail/restaurants is planned, which is substantial for the area. The application notes that the land directly to the east will eventually be a 35-story...

Not this parcel, it was "27 Grosvenor St.' (I think they meant 77 Grosvenor, which is the old Ontario Archives Building) and 26 Grenville St. (the old coroner's building).

This presentation outlines electrification and other planned improvements for the Stouffvile line. I had thought it was only being electrified up to Unionville, but apparently it will be the entire line...

The second building is being marketed now.
