    I believe I called that. From the above:

    Toronto Downsview West District | ?m | ?s | CLC | Perkins Eastman

    Application to the AIC is now in, and public facing: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-details/?id=5534511&pid=692195&title=1377-SHEPPARD-AVE-W @Paclo The preview we got here was quite thorough, so not much new info at this stage. This is interesting...

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I agree (that was my last line in my post). Its a very clunky proposal which doesn't make much sense to me. Inefficient, splatter-gun policy, poorly targeted.

    Moss Park / Queen & Sherbourne

    @JasonParis is correct. Regent Park and Alexendra Park were both cut-off from their surrounding areas just like Moss Park. Outsiders not welcome. The result, fewer outsiders. This clearly has an impact on crime risks; but it also has an effect on social mobility. You want folks in...

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Not downtown, but this seems the most apt place to put this........... Cliffcrest Plaza..........once home to a Foodland supermarket.........which was lost some years ago.... Is getting a new, mini No Frills. Source...

    Toronto 505 University | 212.89m | 64s | Cartareal Corp | BDP Quadrangle

    I'd have to rack my brain to think of the last time the City ardently demanded an entire building be preserved. They've agreed to more than few 'franken condos' over the years. @ProjectEnd would probably know. My instinct here is: Heritage Designation upheld. That probably: Results in a...

    Markham 4440 Steeles Avenue East | 174.1m | 53s | ML Development | ZO1

    Stouffville GO will be RER/GO expansion at Milliken Station here. But there is no higher order transit for this section of Steeles on the near or medium term horizon. In 40 years, maybe............but in the next 20, fairly close to zero chance. An outside shot at BRT Lite.

    General cycling issues (Is Toronto bike friendly?)

    Hmmm, someone leaked the high level info from that confidential attachment to Ben Spurr at The Star (Kotsy's link above)..... (no it wasn't me.........lest I poach the credit0 From the article: The above is in reference specifically to commuting and for the City of Toronto as a whole...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Busy day for this thread..........but want to add some info before I forget. In the Supplementary Report from the City Manager, looking at provincial over-reach.................. There are some interesting attachments which look at cycling volumes, and bikeshare usage on portions of Bloor...

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    For further clarity, the age of consent is also set at the State Level and it varies. However, a number of federal statues use 18 as a delineating age for whether something secondary to sex itself is an offense or the severity of an offense. (or sex in certain circumstances) As a...

    Toronto 5207 Dundas West | 98.5m | 30s | Tricon | Henriquez Partners

    That would be incredibly expensive. The developer at CIBC is picking up the tab for that as a tenant amenity which they continue to own. That was justified by a very large, commercial development. We're not going to see anything like that at Six Points. The developments here could not...

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    Possible. I've never encountered that myself, but most of the supervisors I've known through the years were old-school, came up through the ranks, men. That, of course, has changed in more recent years. (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing). But in earlier years, I think many staff...

    Toronto Beltline Yards | 190.15m | 55s | Hullmark | Allies and Morrison

    It is not a resubmission. It's the first submission, after a very lengthy pre-application process. *** The app. went in last week. It hasn't been publicly circulated yet.

    Former President Donald Trump's United States of America

    Well, were that true, he'd get at least one thing right. I mean, that's Canada's age of consent (after we raised it from 14); and 16 is generally at the high end of OECD norms. Don't get me wrong, I haven't dated that young in decades.......but I think a 16 year old young adult male or...
