We have no sidewalks in Scarborough at the moment. The plows pushed massive piles onto the sidewalks and homeowners are faced with an impossible task. Even teh sidewalk plows can't push through. Snow removal is needed in a lot of areas, but Toronto has never been good at that. Even the "snow...

It's a drag out in Scarborough with our monolithic sidewalks. You shovel, the street plow comes and obliterates the sidewalks you just cleared. Then you shovel that again and the sidewalk plow comes down and makes another mess you have to dig out.

I'll submit that banning right turn on red would do more for pedestrian safety in Ontario (and Toronto) than most other measures. A trip to Montreal in the summer was quite the eyeopener. I didn't have to worry at every single intersection as a runner that I was about to get run down by an...

Taken November 20, 2021. Lots going on recently with clear cutting and grading. Personally, I'm missing walks and runs through this area...it's sad to see our little bit of wild green space go.

Source for this is a friend who sent it from a local Facebook group. i.e. no idea whose photo it is so if that is a problem, let me know and I can delete.

Those two-segment mini streetcars in the render are a hoot.

The trees are in planters just like house plants. Just really big versions. Waterproofed, with drainage and such to contain the roots and keep that all separate from the building beneath it.

They would re-rail it?

The reason the US has so many Airtrains and other short connections between airports and transit lines: https://secondavenuesagas.com/2021/03/08/faa-increases-pfc-funding-options-for-transit-projects-and-laguardia-airport-could-benefit/

Would having the crane punching a hole through the transfer slab impact the structural integrity in anyway? Is the crane positioning factored into the engineering of these kinds of buildings or can it be assumed that once the hole is later filled that it's as good as it would have been without?

LCBO opened this week. Nice addition to our neighbourhood. No more heading up to the Danforth one.

The requirement to keep the vaccine super chilled (at least until the Moderna one is more widely available) is an issue in your plan. Getting the vaccine out to those offices at -80º is a challenge, never mind storing it at the office.

Likely there isn't a lot of demand for Toronto to northern Ontario or Winnipeg (especially via train) while it is reasonable to use the train between cities west of Winnipeg. It's also clear they don't want this to be a "tourist" train for the time being. No Park Car service, likely no access to...

Super bummed it appears they are blocking off any views of the rail corridor. That'll just make the path feel super enclosed and dark.

Finally some retail moving into the ground floor. Much to the delight of locals, the oft-rumoured LCBO is indeed happening along with a dental office.

That's the same hassle as probably most condos for those who park in the underground parking. Two elevators - one to get from parking to the lobby, one to get from the lobby to your floor. This is not to suggest that everyone comes in this way, especially in downtown condos where residents are...

I'll go check out the Open Data and see if that can be gleaned.

I'd love to see the data for how many times a rider docks and then immediately undocks another bike. In other words, how many riders are doing >30 minute rides now.

Are those literally drains without downspouts for the balconies above that just dump water onto the operable windows and front door below?
