Not a bad idea to use the parking lots along the water as they are mostly busy in the weekends. At least GO parking could see use when trains are not running.

Bring back the Grand River Railway? I can't wait to ride light rail to Kitchener! Maybe it can follow the Guelph line and use the museum trackage (which uses TTC gauge!)

Are you calling Jane Jacobs weak? There's something to be said for "eyes on the street." Oh boy - more cops on horses, and more horsesh*t to avoid! Awesome! Dude, Yonge Street may not yet be healthy enough for pedestrian only. I'd prefer to close down Queen West to TTC, pedestrians and bikes...

The BC Liberals though, despite 'SocRed' past and Campbell's destruction in the first term, are now pretty much a meddling, centrist Liberal party, in a old-school conservative fashion. BC Politics is screwed up. Oh, and yeah, Harper is more 'right wing' than Obama, he's just constrained by...

I got dumped at a station from a "train-meet" bus where the bus didn't meet the train as it was running late, and the next one wasn't scheduled for two hours. It was really cold out, but the driver dumped us there anyway. I called, asked for a refund, and got it the next day a the Union Station...

Until Harris showed up, the province did indeed pay for most of the social programs. You're mentioning how charities and churches used to do all this stuff - that was big last in the Depression, though Sally Ann is still around. Since then the government took over the Sisters of Charity and...

Indeed, a nice article, but there are other errors: The Brampton-Toronto section opened for business in 1855, a year earlier, and the second railway out of town after the Ontario, Simcoe and Huron (to Aurora in 1853, extended to Allandale by then). The Rideau Canal is a designated UNESCO...

Obviously influenced the location of this POS: http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?p=246054#post246054

I can't believe all these people contining to bash Weston residents. Makes me want to bash my head against the wall. Really don't mind if you sit this one out. My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.

Clemons is very likeable and does a lot of good work around here, but not mayor. Was Royson James not trying to pitch him as well as the ideal man to run, an Obama? LOL

What, the secret military trials in Gitmo, Cuba, aren't sketchy? I'll live next door to Omar, perhaps not his wacko family though. Romeo Dallaire says Omar Khadr is worthy of Canadian intervention...

Or Jessie Ventura! And speaking of Minnesota, there's a never-ending recount to see if a comedian gets to go to the senate. Franken should have just moved to Chicago and bought a seat from the Gov there.

Dude! You should get on the CBC At Issue Panel! That's deep! I think the NDP should have influence. I don't think Iggy Pop stands for much. The NDP is at least committed to infrastructure spending. This is probably the best stimulus as it will employ Canadians - construction workers, engineers...

Dude, don't you realize you were just mentioned in the post right before yours about Mon Sheong Court?

I'm in my late 20s and the proposed laws wouldn't affect me, but I am outraged by Dalton McGunity's new laws unfairly going after young drivers. He wants to suspend licences for anyone caught speeding, as if most drivers don't already. He wants to outlaw the classic university roadtrip, or even...

Ha ha ha! Miller a great mayor for a bunch of glorified streetcar lines drawn out of nowhere, trying to reach out to everywhere no matter how little the lines make sense? He'd be remembered as a greater mayor for getting the downtown line started and a few long-planned transit projects, like...

The final result of the Steve Munro Transit Conspiracy! That's when Steve Munro becomes the dear leader, going that one step that Robert Moses failed to do, except it becomes Pyongyang. No Steve's a OK guy, but it does seem to be a joke around these parts.

I'm new posting here, but I've been lurking for a while. I've gotten less excited about this project the more I see of it. I hope the materials are good, and it is still all-black like the Mies towers at T-D Center. But how is Clewes a unique architect if he's only copying Mies? I hope it...

Is CT a census tract? That would make more sense. I'd expect to see big differences within those big areas, especially in some of the downtown wards

There's that one case up in Innisfil that the Toronto Star is talking about, where the OMB will rule if the homeowners in the area will have to pay the expenses of the developer. The OMB agreed to hear the case, and while the homeowners lost, the developer's bill came to over $3 Million...
