Pape Village retail update: The former Dollar Blitz beside Food Basics is becoming a.... Burger King :( Tokyo Smoke has opened where Folia Grill used to be. Work is well underway to transform the McDs. Reopening in June.

The corridor that that room used to be would have led to just south of where the current north passage meets the stairs to Warden. Where the wall on the right side of this photo is.

Aha. This 1969 photo shows a corridor to the stairs to Warden and the north passage with an EXIT sign above it between bus bays 8 and 9. You can also see it tiled in this under construction photo. Today it's hidden away behind this Operators door.

There was indeed a second entrance to the station from the Kiss and Ride which is the mirror image of the currently open entrance. It was walled off when the fare line was rearranged as Dan noted and remains in place behind the door in this photo. The Easier Access plans show this entrance being...

The relatively recently relocated Coffee Time at Pape and Gowan is still there, though it is currently closed due to the pandemic.

New temporary entrance to the subway station for the duration of LRT construction for egress capacity as the tunnel to the east side of Yonge will be closing soon.

Right you are. Looks like it was just a one day overlap with both locations open.

Guess not. The new upscale Coffee Time opened yesterday yet the grimey one a couple blocks north is still open too.

Actually, the Ottawa accessible gates in the photo above are indeed longer than the TTC gates. You'll notice the flaps on the accessible gates in the Ottawa photo are able to open nearly all the way while the flaps on the TTC accessible gate contact the stainless steel side of the gate and...

Boston Pizza is taking the large Yonge Street facing space at Gibson Square, where 3 Brewers had previously planned to open in. Coming Soon signs are up.

Accessibility standards vary between jurisdictions. While 5% is indeed ideal, in Ontario the Building Code actually requires a maximum of 8.3% (1:12) running slope. (sec 3.8.3.4(1))

I have my fingers crossed for a halfway decent diner or breakfast/brunch spot. East York Restaurant, where rarely is anything served other than coffee or booze, does not count.

Clothing store Eleven11 has closed at the southwest corner of Pape and Cosburn. They had gradually expanded from one space up to four over the past few years so it's somewhat surprising to see them disappear all of a sudden.

The external announcement system procurement was approved at the TTCs board meeting in November and they are now in the process of installing the system on all buses. Report...

I find it much harder to quickly scan through the list of threads in the Buildings forum to find the ones I am interested in now that every single thread title starts with "Toronto". I suggest filtering out the starting "Toronto" for users reading the UT forum but leaving it in when these...

Yep, it was like that for at least a couple of months before it closed. There were plenty of temporary support jacks holding up the second floor and above between the room with the stage and the adjacent room beside Broadview Av. Some more stories on that: "I read Jilly’s was closing because...

Chicago Eatery finally opened this weekend.

Yes in the next phase coming starting in 2016 or 17 the idea is that fare sales will be done through vending machines and the collector booths eventually shuttered. If you don't have a Presto card already, the machine will issue you a throwaway paper rfid card. Montreal currently does something...

They do beep, plus the screen with large check mark.

The Operator has the ability to enable doors 1, 3 and 4 only in preparation for deploying the ramp at door 2. Sounds like that's what happened rather than a technical problem with the car.
