It seems fitting that the aerial view of the park reminds me of open heart watches (Dustin William's picture). The 10 Best Open Heart Watches for Men

Integrating fares doesn't mean applying the current TTC fare to trips from Kitchener.

It's even more than that if you count the portions outside the city, which I would argue we should. Proper fare integration will make municipal/agency boundaries all but irrelevant. So the RER sections go well outside the city to Oshawa, Aurora, etc. If fare integration is done properly, GO...

New bike lanes are being designed in a way that makes it difficult to remove them. Similar designs are starting to get built in cities like Kingston and Ottawa too.

They might be.

So true. And there's research to back that up. It's been a century since the Bauhaus movement and longer than that since the rise of modernism. Architects have been trying to convince the public to prefer modern styles ever since. They have failed. "People prefer traditionally designed...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I've heard the desire for new buildings to be built in traditional styles being painted as right wing too, and it's ludicrous. Traditional styles are only considered traditional because in the 20th century the design world rather arbitrarily decided that architecture had to throw out existing...

Yes the standards have moved in that direction. Steeles will be similar. And more streets to come.

Some connectivity improvements have been made in the Downsview Park area. Mostly small extensions and intersection improvements. Keele & Dovehouse Keele & Sheppard A new section of bike path on Sheppard completes a missing link in the Sunfield/Sentinal cycling route. The former streets...

I'm fine with Amsterdam beer but the food at their Harbourfront brewpub is atrocious.

It's not just people from the global south. My parents escaped from behind the iron curtain and hated Russia for decades. Now they're on Russia's side. They're so anti Communist that they reflexively support anything on the opposite side of the political spectrum, even if that's Putin's Russia...

Like with so many things, Canada ignores the rest of the world and settles for being just slightly better than the US.

Assuming you're referring to the part of Steeles between Midland and McCowan, the part just west of that to Kennedy now has cycle tracks.

Hamilton was larger than Ottawa in the more distant past but it passed Hamilton sometime in the 1920s. By 1941 Ottawa had 215,000 people while Hamilton had 176,000. Definitely debatable which city has the bigger pre-war core. Either way the two have very different development histories since...

Absolutely. But my point is that a neighbourhood like Cabbagetown doesn't have a lot of space dedicated to cars compared to more recently developed suburbs. It has narrower streets, hardly any surface parking lots, smaller setbacks, etc. The fact that it's built for walking and transit allows...
