Given the amount being spent elsewhere in the GTA, I would think that expropriation and the widening of underpasses wouldn't be out of the question. Interesting point about the RT though; that would be a significant amount of passing track.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I wonder what the likelihood of triple-tracking the Stouffville Line would be? I realize that standard GO service and RER could share the same track and that certain runs could could simply head farther north, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how more...

Markham was upset that Scarborough got the bigger pools, but we lucked out with this one, especially if it becomes part of a new York U campus.

It's been great seeing the sun on the platform this year, and I'm not looking forward to the roof going back up on the old portions of the shed! Unless you're standing right under the new glass section, there won't be much light. Hopefully there'll at least be strong LED lighting so it won't be...

Toronto suburb puts the emphasis on urban http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/home-and-garden/architecture/toronto-suburb-puts-the-emphasis-on-urban/article21002778/

I has assumed it was Scotiabank, H&M, Stollery's, and all the buidings south on Yonge up to the UofT residence. All of that combined might get close to $300m. Not to mention the fact that you would need that much land to get floorplates big enough to support a department store. This could also...

York Region and the province don't have to do anything -- it's provincial infrastructure. Even if you extended 15-minute service all the way up to Stouffville, which would be ridiculous, it would still be a longer trip than what's there now and would make trips less competitive compared to...

I'm still confused as to how you could have 15-minute runs from Union to Unionville while still allowing for existing GO service with only two tracks. I had always assumed that Smart Track would require at least 3 tracks, or at least long sections of passing track. I hope the plan isn't to force...

I had figured that Markham District Energy was a given since the secondary school and retirement residence directly to the north are already part of the system. Looking at the list of clients, it would seem that nearly everyone in Markham Centre is connected...

Not bad at all. York submits long-awaited proposal for new campus http://www.excal.on.ca/york-submits-long-awaited-proposal-for-new-campus/

As someone skeptical of having non-Lakeshore-all-day train service in the near future, this is fantastic news.

For those of us who are frequent GO bus riders, this is pretty huge (even though we may have more train service by the time this is built)...

Interesting that the PDF shows a "potential trading podium" for phase 1. The banks seem to love podiums with huge floorplates.

Love the cranes! Thanks for all the photos in the various threads, MafaldaBoy.

Yeah, I could definitely see a scenario where a number of projects east of the rail line are sold to investors and are under construction at the same time as the campus, assuming it goes forward. I could also see more density being added along Kennedy nearby. Does anyone know if all the land...

It's the developer's model for Downtown Markham, as opposed to Markham Centre as a whole. Everything in that model is being developed by Remington. It has changed several times though, and I would agree that it's likely pretty fluid.

I have, and I think at least some of those towns are live/work units, although I could be wrong on that.
