She's great except she pronounces Sherbourne as "sherburn" instead of "sherborn". Don't you think this is completely wrong? I'd do a forum poll on this if I had any idea how.

I'm sold on the SCC spur if there's room for the curve (is there?). But you'd take the Belleville sub to get to Malvern surely wouldn't you?

Shorter Lorinc : let's remake the Gardiner lands so they're bad for cars AND bad for pedestrians.

^Should have closed Yonge S of Dundas, but punched a continuous road through Dundas Square to carry traffic from Yonge S onto Church St. That would have been the European way. But you know I'd rather see the northbound lanes of University turned into a park, from Richmond to Queens Park Circle.

^How deceptive. Hudson River Park is a wonderful, very expensive amenity that no one is proposing building in Toronto. Meanwhile West St. is horrible, and crossing it takes forever when you're on foot. Why didn't you post any full pictures of West St.?

A real ambassador for the cause.

The last time? Six months ago, I guess http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2014/11/corktown-common-wins-popular-science-magazine-award

Am I the only one who thinks this site should really be a public park?

Qualified apology fully accepted. We're not going to agree on everything but we can take each other seriously. The 110,000 figure was in the staff report to Council that I linked above, dated February? 2015. It was authored by John Livey, same as the presentation panels everyone else was...

If cyclists do like in Germany and just gun for pedestrians then they'll learn soon enough

I think it could end up looking as bad as this though not quite as bad as this (Sources Heritage Toronto and ERA respectively.)

There's no way they're doing that mock-Tudor nonsense ... is there? Edit: That mock-Tudor nonsense may in fact be original.

That's a screenshot from a webcam? Amazing image. Thanks to all for the great photos and updates. I am really excited to walk or ride QQ on opening day. And I am proud of Toronto for at last getting this street so right!

Why do you hate dismembered war soldiers?

If you want to be authoritative read the documents, not the National Post. Read my earlier posts, particular on net present value. I am referring to the maintain option, not the hybrid option. Here's a more detailed document than what DDA posted...

Riverdale Rink Rat, I do not mind you saying "fun trolling". Indeed that is probably right. But in my world claiming I make things up - that's fighting words. Please find an example of this or withdraw the statement. I of course draw conclusions form the facts that you may not like. I may...

Friend, that is a petty discussion that does neither of us any credit. But if you wish: I should have said: "the promised rate of increase in deliveries has slowed, and they are falling behind their announced target again". And if 4408 arrives in the next few days I will gladly post here again...

Here's a couple of random quotes to show how misinformed this whole debate is getting to be. #1. Remove is not "fiscally conservative" (i.e. cheaper). The city is just torquing the data to make it seem that way, by including an unprecedented 100 years of O&M costs in the maintain option...

After the Great Toronto Tanker Train Fire of 2025, freight trains will be banned from the North Toronto subdivision and a new overground subway built. Problem solved.

Thanks for this post. It's news to me. It looks like this site has a heritage easement, thank God. Check out the excellent heritage staff report - and read through to the cool photos of the wood block pavement at the end...
