https://bsky.app/profile/chanface.bsky.social/post/3lfd2q7g4r22s It is an inference from the DoFo letter, which talks about the freight rail bypass "missing link" along with the wording of "potential to unlock new GO lines". Of course it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the letter, but it's...

The midtown GO line is back on the menu!

Did TAS sell this site? Proponent is now Green Storage, and new docs up for an 8-story drive-through self storage facility. Only covering the western half of the site, part of The Brick building remains...

Agreed, it would be fantastic, and makes a lot of sense as this small section of Elizabeth St only causes problems as cars turn onto Dundas at the non-signalized intersection. But if I had to put my own money on it, a Kensington result is what I would bet on here as well. We might get the...

Interesting architecture, adaptive reuse of the coach terminal, 290 units of affordable rental. Looks great to me!

I live nearby and in a recent multiplex build no less, needless to say my letter to CoA will be the exact opposite of this dramatic nonsense.

I especially dislike the ones that have been given the awful stone-veneer treatment like this. Good riddance indeed.

The art itself is nice, but I feel like an 8ft high wall is quite an unfriendly design choice, especially alongside a great public amenity like the railpath.

My first real job was day-camp counsellor at the YMCA here around 2010. Wild to see such a massive development on the site now. Time files!

Surprising to see a Marlin Spring G&C project shaping up this nicely. Reminds me of some of the new buildings I saw in Chicago recently.

Excavation work is underway at the southwest corner of the site

I understand that it's extremely likely the downgrade would have happened regardless of the DRP feedback. But I don't think it's incorrect to say that the developer technically listened to the DRP's request for a simplified design in this case. They removed color gradations, most of the...

Truly an atrocious piece of work, so much so that I actually loop back around to almost enjoying it. The matte blue-green-yellow daycare is my favourite, what an absurd looking building.

Big yikes on the elevators per unit

From the Metrolinx Toronto West newsletter: Documents are here under "Davenport Diamond": https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/barrie-line-go-expansion/get-involved/community-documents From the Feb 15 CLC update:

Bloor Lansdowne GO station is certainly more important than this one connection under the guideway, but @vic did a good job of showing why the connection would be helpful to the neighbourhood. As it stands, to access the Junction Triangle from the east side of the corridor, we have to use...

Adding express service to the line is a great idea. But that's not the full story of what's happening here. Bloor and Weston are seeing a 50% service reduction while Union and Pearson see the same levels of service (perhaps a few minutes faster for the express trains). It is a service cut and...

Kind of amazing that we managed to build an airport train that was so successful at being regular transit, that now it's being "nerfed" so the regular people can't use it as much. Are there any plans in the works to expand the fleet so the high demand can be properly serviced, rather than just...

A local group that has continued to advocate for the connection between Lappin and Antler is hosting an event next weekend. I want to be optimistic that the connection could happen, because of how I would benefit from it personally. But I've been reading the UT forums for long enough now to...
