The only way a subway ever comes to south etobicoke is if the Queen subway is restarted which won't happen A big reason for this is the Lakeshore GO

Can't forget there's a WTC project in the pipe, too.

i never said they did. I'm just saying they (the province) were going along with whatever happened and aligned themselves with whatever the city/mayor/city and mayor chose to do. Why? Because it's a city project. It's not their job to dictate what happens within the city.

They were merely going along with Ford and council. They aren't going to make a project in which the city does not want. You're misplacing the blame. There's a reason why the province is coming back to fund the old Transit City projects as they come back to the table. Money is finite so we'd...

The traffic was a problem even before HBS existed, to be honest. Lake Shore always was a major thoroughfare.

But the Liberals have not been the problem. They said we'll fund it. Then the city cancels transit city. Then it's back on. They said we'll fund it. Then the Subway thing comez up. Then they said we'll fund it. Just make up your mind. The issue isn't the funding aspect. The problem is our...

Property Tax incrementation and fare surcharges!

One thing we are all forgetting about is the infrastructure bank. A lot of funding for transit is likely to come from the Bank. A -lot- of subway funding is going to come from the bank. Potentially upwards of $50 billion, especially considering GTA Subways are going to be easily the most...

Well, it's worth the loss in my mind because those darn motels are gone. Twas always a beacon in a wasteland.

IMO if First Capital does get a GO stop on site with assurances of the waterfront LRT making a nice little transit hub, I'd expect the Kraft land to get some more big towers in there. Though would likely be less condo-oriented and more rental/office if I were to guess, to mix with a large...

would assume emporis

I hear the same developers also bought the shoppers at 30th St / Lake Shore.

Canada couldn't have as they were trying to get around the tariffs. They needed someone to take sole ownership. Airbus did it because eh, free embarrassment of Boeing. You see it as not great, but I see it was a golden goose. Sure we are not getting the same percentage... but now you have...

https://www.insidetoronto.com/news-story/7605067-developer-plans-whole-community-on-mr-christie-s-lands-in-etobicoke/ An article that I saw in the Guardian today. First Capital is going to keep the water tower. They want a GO station. Seems like HBS people will be happy because they are going...

He's talking HQ2. Not a warehouse.

After looking at the report... lakeshore stuff is fine. Though would prefer ROW to long branch, do understand the neighborhood complaints... except for the whole U-turn whining

So what exactly is the waterfront route? Are they just putting lipstick on the 501 pig? Queen is a mess. I don't know exactly what the EA calls for east of roncesvalles

So the waterfront west LRT goes through Lake Shore all the way to Union and the 509 will take some remains of the old 501 and run towards queensway? (and likely eventually through) not a bad compromise if you ask me. edit: wait that doesn't sound quite right lol

Ooh then that means the only big interest is where the tracks are going in between union and roncesvalles. I'm hoping the exhibition is getting some love.

I hope one of the meetings being at the assembly hall is a good sign for lakeshore corridor winning out over Queensway
