No it's not confirmed, and it's not going ahead due to Metrolinx' and the provincial government's stupidity. This agent is using a false promise, to market the property to inflate the value. Nothing more, nothing less. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how one looks at it), someone may...

Absolutely disgusting, and appalling to hear of this. I would say the person who started this, when found, should get fined up through the point they reach bankruptcy and if that's not feasible/enough, they should be jailed for 25+ years minimum. But who am I kidding, they would likely get a...

It should be a mandated watch as part of all TTC management training, and if one fails training they should be forced to re-watch it over and over again until they get a perfect score of 100%.

The problem is; even if they gave streetcars advanced priority, it might not even be enough time for one to clear an intersection with the TTC's archaic operating rules which cause streetcars to crawl through certain intersections. It would work at intersections where there is no TTC special...

I've seen a lot of ugly car dealerships in my life, but this one takes the cake for the ugliest.

Blame Metrolinx. They decided to pay their consultants to come up with an idiotic concept that causes unnecessary complication. The TTC is conducting their own wayfinding review, which will hopefully yield better results.

^I suspect this involves the building's underground levels. Metrolinx isn't tearing any condo down. They're a highly incompetent and inept organization so I completely understand everyone's concerns nevertheless, as they are well founded based on many instances of stupidity displayed by them.

Why stop at a pair? Let's get 5 towers on site here, because St.James Town can more than handle the residential overload even more than the area already does today.

It's not a Metrolinx project, so we dont have to deal with that stupidity here.

Glad to see the world-class pathetically slow TTC streetcar speeds are being picked up by the media. But of course the TTC is taking no responsibility for it and are blaming it on increased road congestion, construction, and the typical BS they like to blame it on. This is instead of you know...

Great news, my only gripe is that the service is with a narrow-body. Sure they make previously economically nonviable routes more serviceable, but i'm no fan of seeing narrow bodies on transatlantic routes between major cities

This would be in the Top 5 of best things to ever happen in Etobicoke history if this development is cancelled out right. It's an absolute horrid and insipid "plan", and an unmitigated urban planning disaster. If true, hallelujah!

Le Meridien (which is owned by Mariott) is in Skytower. We have no idea at the moment who would be associated with the hotel in the former Toronto Star building, it's far too early to say.

Well if this is anything like what we've been seeing take place a Mimico GO over the past 15+ years, i'm sure this will quite literally go swimmingly well.

Lol ok so we're not ok with appropriate 30 story intensification in the Downtown Core limits within a 3 min walk of 2 subway lines, but we've got no problem with similar 30+ story proposals in transit deserts in the inner suburbs, with absolutely no precedents in the given area. I mean what...

Just wait until a car hits one of those video screens that drivers use to position the LRVs. That's when the real fun will begin with mass delays to operations. Good thing Metrolinx thought about that while designing the line, oh wait....

The part between Mount Dennis and the portal west of Weston Rd (~500 metres) is being SEM'd. The rest is TBM.

Amazing pics @mburrrrr, you really are the eyes and ears of this project!

Surprise surprise, Doug wants to override more municipal bylaws so he can do whatever he pleases. Why doesnt he just override the entire City of Toronto Act at this point while he's at it, it's clear he couldn't care less for municipal policies.

This whole thing is rich, coming from the same crook provincial government which had no concerns over propping up another developer in Mississauga through use of an MZO without any regard for Toronto Pearson, until the GTAA explicitly had to tell the government that it interfered with flight...
