The solution is unburying Eglinton, not burying the OL. Keeping the OL at grade along here will make it a much more pleasant user experience. Have you seen how deep the downtown OL stations will be? It will be infinitely easier to access for residents being above grade through here.

This area was designated for employment uses for years which is why it hasn't been developed yet - it was only redesignated to permit residential uses last year I believe.

Sunwing does seasonal flights out of YHM still I believe - but yes, since WestJest wound down Swoop, the airport has been much quieter.

Been there since at least September 2023:

Actually topped out now!

This is in front of the CoA today for several variances, showing signs of life. Height increased from 89 to 92m. https://events.burlington.ca/meetings/Detail/2024-10-23-1200-Virtual-Committee-of-Adjustment-Meeting/b59a1d79-3c21-4d3e-bc18-b21000e412d1

The lot isn't planned to close until Dream builds their building to the east, but there are plans as a part of that development (if it happens).

University is one of few roads in Downtown Toronto which had oodles of excess capacity that could accomodate lanes without impacting traffic. Of course Toronto had to take it from 8 to 4 lanes instead of 8 to 6 lanes to accommodate the bike lanes.. so now the street has capacity problems. The...

Haven't built a highway in a long time? MTO regularly builds new highways. They opened the 407 extension to Highway 35 less than 5 years ago. MTO has also built the 400 extension to Sudbury slowly over the last 20 years.. issues with indigenous reserves has limited progress the last few years...

1782 units, 75% of which are 1-beds.. Have they learned nothing from the recent market? Most other developers are moving away from crappy micro-units for a reason, but apparently not here..

Next Phase site plan is in: No plans available yet.

Ford's message and politics is all about "getting it done". Budgetary planning has infrastructure at (by far) record highs. I don't think it has to do with a lack of funding - more so Metrolinx incompetency. There is a reason they let go half of their senior management this week.

looks like the MPH needs to be built still too.

This actually isn't true - stunt driving remains at 150km/h on 110km/h highways, FYI. That's how it already is. Generally Ontario has one of the largest speeding cultures on the continent, mostly attributable to our artificially low speed limits. As a whole I'm supportive of increasing limits...

Wait, this is actually getting built? I feel like this one must take the record for "oldest proposal to actually start construction" on this board.

407 especially regularly sees normal speed of traffic above 130km/h. Even there though, it is unusual to see vehicles traveling more than 150km/h due to the extremely heavy penalties involved. The 90km/h example I gave is in Chatham-Kent. The point was that municipalities often have relatively...

403 through Hamilton and 406 through St Catharines are both under 100km/h limits today (90 and 80, respectively). I doubt those would increase to 110, though may see a 10km/h bump. I also don't see the central 401 getting a 110 boost, probably from, say, the 427 to 404 at a minimum. 11 between...

I mean as it stands the gavel comes down HARD for anyone doing 150km/h. As a whole I'm interested to see what highways they leave at current limits, and how extensive the "except where unsafe to do so" exception will be.

In a Provincial presser today: https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1005176/ontario-fighting-gridlock-and-making-life-easier-for-drivers Could we see some 130km/h speed limits coming in some locations? What?
