We need all three and we can and should do all three at the same time (aka the near future)...but I voted for the DRL...

Bazis was never vague about Emerald Park, though, unlike Crystal Blu...very detailed renderings have been released and they've been working with the design review panel to tweak the podium and street level while trying to stick to the rather specific vision for the architecture, something that...

Boo.

It's a redevelopment of the Parkwoods Village plaza, keeping a grocery store (moved to where the gas station is/was), adding condos with street retail to the east, a few townhouses in between, and possibly tied in with a renovation/expansion/replacement of the adjacent library.

It is a shame, though, that Hulchanski's fearmongering has been getting such play in the media, but agenda-laden wheel gets the grease, so it's not surprising.

I don't think there's another city in the entire world that would benefit more from massively expanded commuter/GO-type rail improvements than LA. They'd probably have to create quite a few new rail corridors, though, which means tunnelling/expropriating/razing/elevating. It's easier said than...

No, it makes perfect sense. What makes no sense is trying to get rid of the "wrong crowd" in the first place.

Of sorts, yes...there were a few bus routes funnelling through it. Of course, in the early 70s, other than Olde Agincourt and stuff farther south like the Ben Jungle, STC's suburban hinterland was still almost entirely farmland...the Milliken/Woodside/Malvern/Rouge areas didn't have as many bus...

Your respons about "real analysis" is just as simplistic when "criteria" is a fluid term up for debate that varies depending on what technology fetishes someone in a position of power has, how much money is available at any given time, whether or not we're basing our transit expansion on "social...

Even with the subway to Yorkdale in 1978, STC likely bested Yorkdale in the mallrat allure department (thus reducing the amount of parking required) not just through transit connections, but due to its world class food court (tragically maimed in renovations about a decade ago). The food court...

No, I was taking you for someone who wasn't doing enough thinking. How does running Eglinton east of Kennedy not feed the Danforth line? Why would someone insist on subway or nothing for Eglinton yet also say it shouldn't include the busiest stretch of Eglinton? Why is looking at ways to...

Though if you had actually read a word I posted, you'd know that this won't do much to relieve Yonge and in no way is it a substitute for a Yonge extension. What percentage of Yonge riders will be going from Richmond Hill Centre to Union, anyway? 2%? 1%? GO is basically useless for most of...

It wasn't for a couple of decades into Yorkdale's existence that it was really positioning itself as a 'fashion mall' to compete with other malls, and I don't think that kind of inter-mall competition really heated up enough to start affecting the store lineup and mall design and so on until...

I agree, but Fresh Start was blaming them, not me. The Spadina extension and a DRL up Don Mills will divert more riders off Yonge than the Richmond Hill GO line ever could (though GO, in general, could also get a lot of riders off long-distance TTC feeder bus routes, like Steeles East, and onto...

And get rid of the stairs.

Yeah, I meant eventually as many years from now. They could just make the ramp down to the loading docks more of a tunnel beginning farther south, but Yorkdale may have other plans. Maybe they'll plow through Sears and expand that way, towards Dufferin. I doubt they'll move north...they'll...

If one person entered Yorkdale near the Bay and walked down the 'grand avenue' or turned left and walked towards Holt Renfrew, and a second person entered through the subway station where it's downscale and servicey, they'd get very different first impressions of Yorkdale. They'd pass different...
