    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Ok......so the TTC decided to have a meltdown today..............and boy is this a doozie. Background, the TTC has already shuttered the downtown loop this weekend from Osgoode to College; and Line 2 from Warden to Kennedy. *** So I get to Main, no indication of a problem til I do, and...

    PM Mark Carney's Canada

    The Star's Althea Raj out with a troubling bit of info: https://www.thestar.com/politics/political-opinion/mark-carney-is-quietly-giving-sweeping-new-powers-to-his-ministers/article_2881e6a0-d77f-4a8a-ae35-5ecbf0f35e00.html From the above: **** Way too open ended and dangerous! I'm all...

    Good question, his Linkedin says he's still in Toronto. He apparently did some consulting in Saudi Arabia in the last year, but is currently 'self-employed'.

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    I get the original start date, the city initially dealt w/the application by 2014, but it went to the OMB (later LPAT and now OLT). It was the developers' choice to appeal. As it should have. Yes, it did. This makes no sense at all, it was the City that insisted that Gehry remain on...

    If you mean that I know there are issues unresolved? I just know. If you mean what the technical details are, I'm not privy to the full list, there are members here who may see fit to share more, or not, at their discretion.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The TTC and Mx are still working through some issues. TTC expects those issues to be resolved and an opening date agreed on by the end of January. So I would not anticipate an opening before February. I would imagine they will try to line up the opening with either the February or March...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Where did you get this idea from? It's not true. The City approved the initial application (post OMB) in 2017. The developer initially suggesting they would start building in 2019, but instead resubmitted their zoning, changed uses (hotel) and added height. Across time, the leadership team...

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    I'm disappointed not to see at least one route targeted to go to every 15M service mid-day. That said, I do think the consistent span of service on major routes, as outlined in the slide below is important: IF you want people to consider transit in lieu of a second or third car, the bare...

    Canadian Tire

    What's a line? Seriously, much past a 1-2 person line up, I don't do lines for pretty much anything. I can't quite figure out why people abide them.

    Canadian Tire

    I agree w/the sentiment, but I will say, when they go heavy promo on pots and pans, the prices are industry best. But as you note, when they are not on promo, they are among the industry worst. *** They do have some more consistently priced aisles, things like cleaners/soaps, a lot of...

    Toronto 150 Queens Wharf | 140.93m | 37s | TCHC/CreateTO | Karakusevic Carson + Teeple

    Maybe. I don't have the numbers their using, but I might be tempted to read this as the Vienna model. Design a building to attract high-end of full market rent, use the extra $$ and high occupancy to subsidize the affordable units. If Vienna can do it, so can we. Thank you. Much...

    2026 Toronto Mayoral Race

    1) That the tax increase is clearly not her 'signature' initiative. 2) That because City taxes are non-indexed, unless an increase is voted, its unreasonable to count the entire increase that way. A real increase, similar to bumping the rate of income tax or sales tax is a fairer way to...

    Two of the four members of I&E ctte are also on North York Community Council which is meeting today. That conflict likely to determined the impossibility of convening today. Cllr. Peruzza is also on the Exhibition Board which is also meeting today. Fletcher (chair) would have a conflict...
