About the fireworks, I know it wasn't an ideal situation that we were caught off guard being caught inside with just video presentation of the fireworks but we can look at it from a different perspective. Those who could afford tickets and were inside to see a great presentation of the ceremony...

Please correct me if this is wrong but even if they could of opened the Rogers Centre roof they wouldn't due to safety reasons. I remember at the end of a Blue Jays game that I went to many years ago that when they closed the dome at the end of a game, security made sure that all fans were...

I loved the opening ceremony tonight. It was great. Absolutely no regrets, well worth the money spent. Attendees were cheering, clapping, just having a great time. Way to go Pan Am organizers, well planned and executed. Purchased a nice Pan Am shirt and cap at the Superstore at Nathan Phillips...

Does anyone know the business hours of TO2015Superstore in Nathan Phillips Square? Can't find it anywhere on the internet. I guess just an oversight of the many things that had to be accomplished for the games. Thanks

Going to opening ceremonies this Friday at Rogers Centre. Will there be fireworks like with the Olympic ceremonies? Looks like the weather is good to keep the roof open. I hope that this will be a night to remember. I sure paid enough for good seats. Also, would like to get a PanAm shirt before...

How does 2015 gamestripplanner compare to Triplinx.ca for navigating traffic during the pan am games ? How are are they similar, different and which one is better? Thanks

I would argue that it should be a major consideration. With the Argos now coming to BMO Field they will have movable North side seating stands. For concerts and speaking events you could build a (temporary) proper stage against the North edge wall of the stadium. Currently you can't do that...

When the roof covering additions go up in 2016 has there been any thought/planning into how the type of roof will affect acoustics for music concerts, speakers, rally's etc? I would hate to see all that money invested in a roof design (millions) without any thought into how the new roof will...

Why is nothing happening at the six points construction site? Its like everything came to a stop for no apparent reason. Is there a problem? Time is slipping by, timelines could really fall behind.

Could someone please post the best website to track traffic patterns during the Pan Am games. I'm looking for real time information updates for traffic, best routing options, closures etc. I work for a non-profit organization that provides transportation for seniors (one of our many services)...

Well I went on the UPX train yesterday and it was great. Really enjoyed traveling through the various neighborhoods. Saw that not everything is finished at the Weston and Bloor Stations yet and also some of the neighborhood road links and sound barriers still need quite a bit of work. IMO this...

Now that Finch West LRT is moving forward I feel that it would make good sense and planning to have it extended to Pearson Airport. It could take off a lot of traffic pressure at 400/401 and other traffic arteries. If ever the Finch West LRT would be extended to Woodbine and then Pearson...

I totally agree. Not making the 400/Finch overpass longer/wider now would be a missed opportunity. An example would be the overpass at 400 and Steeles that was reconstructed to accommodate more lanes and a (possible) future Hwy 400 southbound exit at Steeles when the 407 was built. That was...

I missed the open house they had for the Finch West LRT at the Banquet Hall by Finch and Arrow Rd. Wish I had been there. Is there any detailed drawings of how Finch and Arrow Rd intersection will be configured to accommodate the LRT? Some aspects of this intersection will be really tight to...

Do forum members here believe that the Toronto 2015 pan am games could be a test run to bring the Olympics to Toronto in the future? Will the decision makers be watching Toronto closely to see how functional we are to put on major events? Thanks

Does John Tory officially support the Finch West LRT or unofficially? And could this specific transit project be sidelined or cancelled due to other transit priorities? Thanks

They have just opened up access to the 3rd level of the parking garage or parkade etc. Drove up there today and had a great view of the remaining construction work that needs to be completted. One thing that caught my attention was the direct access bridges to the Hudson Bay from P2 and P3...

I'm glad to see the new mall trend, especially the Sherway expansion, towards higher ceilings and the feeling of more spaciousness. If only Sherway was built originally with higher ceilings it would sure help make the upgrades easier to do. You can only do so much with low ceilings. However...

^^^I was at the last public meeting about this project. Many thanks to all the City and planning officials who put on a great presentation and took the time to talk to people as a group and answer one on one questions to peoples inquiries, concerns and feedback etc. I was at first concerned...

Did they build the new Sherway parking structure with expansion in mind, say in 10-15 years they wanted to add 1 or 2 more parking decks, will it be possible? Thanks
