    Toronto Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    It blends right in. You can't even tell it's there. The perfectly anonymous tower.

    Toronto 245 Queen Street East | 94.3m | 25s | ONE Properties | Graziani + Corazza

    Interesting points raised. Remember the UT masses were (and probably still are) simultaneously misty eyed and forum raging about Stollery Stone and cookie cutter White Wearhouses. I have to wonder if the lack of bloodthirst over the deliberate destruction of a heritage (old) building here is...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    Obviously the peeps in planning did it to spite you, personally. Look, I support a Mimico subway and all but let's get the Scarborough subway plan back on the tracks and restored up to Malvern first before we get sidetracked and derailed by misadventures out in Etobicoke.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    You'll be glad to hear that neither Kesmat or Tory's plan includes GO or RL stations anywhere near the Canary or Distillery districts.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    If you were trying to figure out where to end a subway line and start something else, picking a spot where traffic drops off by 50% would be a good spot. The thirst for development fees is real. If only York weren't indebted up to its eyeballs we could have an unprejudiced conversation about...

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    I didn't mention Chow did I? Here's Tory's MO: Promise the moon. Get your plan gutted once or twice a week until there's nothing left. Ride the coattails of somebody else. Deliver air. But that's okay because he's just a $177.499/year cheerleader. Vote Tory! The cognitive dissonance is real...

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    They will have delivered about as much as Tory will have by 2018 but you're still going to vote for him.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    The answer is no because the person responsible for planning in Toronto believes a better network is created when the GO and TTC worlds do not collide.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I don't know how anybody can read that and this and not come to the conclusion that both Tory and Keesmatt need to be fired for trying to pawn off these blatant lies on the voters.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Not if it doesn't go north of the 401 which it won't now. Thanks Tory. Pass that memo to the department of planning. Thanks Kesmat.

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    That's just proof Tory will say anything depending on which way the wind is blowing. He's for it. He's against it. Now he's for it again? On a related note, is anyone else relishing for the day they build a subway station to shelters for the destitute (instead of one at a major school campus...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    The city says difference is $400MM. Your workaround? Waste scarce taxpayer money to put it in the worst place then fix it by building a PATH tunnel that will cost $300MM. That makes sense to some people I'm sure. It's about time folks stop giving the used car salesman Tory any more airtime...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    There are many thousands more people who live, work, and play far south of Queen St. Ye olde axiom: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, exists for a reason. It's because it's the right thing to do. On the other side your choices are having stations at the St. Lawrence...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    If they all terminate in the financial district then there's no conflict at all so the planning department is out to lunch. If you need to build a new 500m PATH as a workaround it's a sign that you've already made a mistake. We need a FOIA request on Tory's office to see how deep he has his...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    Replace that "disaster" scenario with the actual disaster of having every single last person exiting and walking south against all of that traffic anyway and at the cost of up to 25% lost ridership. Sign me up!

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I haven't kept up with all of the details of the project but my sense from reading the thread is the Metrolinx imposed LRT being overkill for Brampton before we even get to the idea of tunneled LRT. That being the case does it not make more sense to use underground BRT from Steeles to the north...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    First off half the area is either residential, church, parkland, or shelters, and there's a huge empty schoolyard. Pull up Google maps and you see the other half is dying or dead. It consists of pawn shops (oh wait they've gone out of business), small scale retailers like vape stores...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    Yes I have and there is nothing on PHASE 1 Queen east of Yonge until you get to Jilly's and that's gone now. The hipsters using the new hotel can walk 500 metres if they need to use the facilities. Did you see King after the Jays games this year or during TIFF? Did you see all of the people...

    Toronto's Transit Network Plan

    1) That's less than the extra wasted on the Sorbara line to nowhere 2) Everything on Queen closes at 5 3) Ryerson already has a subway 4) Eaton Centre already has two subways 5) Existing subway already closer to the only hospital you're talking about, which is better for old people and the near...
