Didn't the head librarian get fired over something related to this?

Not directly TTC related but I thought there were some cool pictures of Union Station (and under it) here

Probably lazy graphic designers? Should sue them for a free meal.

I hope that's a play on the name of the community or something.. because if not..

I don't think trains (esp from Kitchener) are the best options for student commuting.. I do know they run a lot of extras buses right from UW on Thursday and Friday afternoons, and I think that's the...

So I've been commuting semi-regularly from Waterloo to Toronto using the GO Bus/Train service. Yes, it sucks. It takes about 2:45 one way door to door (drive to UW, GO bus to Milton, GO Train to...

Any idea where this will be? I don't recall seeing any buildings that close to completion.

Mine has a permanent layer of frozen food at the bottom.. but it'll come out in the spring. I don't bother with bags anymore, just some layers of newspaper.

Oops, sorry, must have missed your post.. great minds I guess ;)

Driving past it today I didn't notice the characteristic blue triangle form on the roof of the buildings, so it might be that they're not part of it anymore. Disappointing, as I go there quite often.

KW Xpress (take that Doug Craig!)

The KWiC (and the Congested)

WatRail

There's a DIY wash on Lodge between King & Weber as well.. $3 for 4 mins or something like that.. you can get by with $3 if you're quick.

Funny, that was my impression as well. I guess we partially got our wish of an Ikea in the region :P

Erb Street Condos

Sign up for "Erb Street Condos" right about here

Website: www.erbstreetcondos.com (only a registration form currently)

"Resort like amenities". A bit skeptical of that...

I don't recall ever seeing any notice of an opening, and everytime I passed by over the last couple of weeks it never seems like it's that close to being ready. That said, they've got the sign up...

Next perhaps he can explain what exactly "yield here to pedestrians" means! Seems like every time I yield I almost get rear ended.

Article from a week ago... how do they go from the tiny lot on Erb St. to a 160 spot two level parking deck!?

What's the point of moving the on ramp from Homer Watson to Alpine? To prevent people going north-east on Ottawa from needing to go through Homer Watson to go eastbound on 7-8? But now that would...

I think there used to be an aisle or two of housewares, pots and pans and stuff like that?

To mark the opening, it's look back a couple of years..



Hopefully it's not quite like Sportsworld Crossing...

Columbia St (Erbsville to Fischer-Hallman) reconstruction public information center notice

Also looks like the...

Well, I suppose having traffic jams at peak times doesn't necessarily coincide with needing to expand to 4 lanes? If you look at how backed up roads like Columbia or Fisher-Hallman got before they...

Lowes this morning. Can't believe how wide this thing is... How does it compare to Home Depots/Ronas?

Quantity > quality ;)

The goal is to build a stable structure around the edge of your bowl (usually using cucumbers), allowing you to stack up a large amount of meat on top. You win when they...

I think there used to be something like this at Erin Mills Parkway and the QEW but it was demolished and changed in to a more "normal" freeway interchange a few years ago.. not sure what the...

Well, they certainly have a lot of experience stamping out these buildings :P

Super Dave's in Uptown Waterloo.. been going there since Dave was around. Now his daughter runs the place.

Signs and construction fencing are up for Waterloo Nissan here (south east corner of Northfield and Parkside). Not sure what they're doing with the building, but I assume they'll be demo'ing it.

Alright, thanks everyone for reiterating my inability to read 3 times :P

They're turning F-H and Ottawa into a roundabout?

Seems like their plan to go super-high end in WTS and the surrounds is catching up to them. Don't know if the area was quite ready for so many high ends stores.

You might be thinking of King St Trio which is going here

Montana's as well.

This was supposed to be the entrance to the 4 storey development metropolis and Floor2012 are talking about. I remember it since my friend owned a house backing onto it and was really pissed about...

You dream of residential, I dream of Costco. Both are equally unlikely.

I haven't noticed the lack of them, but certainly agree they would be better off in KW than Guelph. I think they're the only mass market brand missing from the region. I own one and bought it from...

Columbia & Erbsville is the retirement home. I'm guessing this project is going here?
...

Walked by yesterday, they were putting up "Titanium" signs at the old Vault location.

I took a short trip to Vancouver last weekend via YKF and was actually surprised to see how full the flight was. Perhaps 80% full? Though it was the long weekend so maybe busier than normal. It...

Drove by today and it's a pretty bold looking crane ;) I didn't think they'd need one for just 3 floors?

There are many retirement homes on the west end. Erbsville & Laurelwood, one off of Columbia Forest, a new one going up at Columbia and Erbsville. I see their shuttles taking them to the mall all...

Before the icons, the forum title used to be bold when there were new posts and normal without new posts. Now they're always bold which makes it hard to tell which forums have new posts.

And I guess the red logo with white letters is Staples?

Could someone point out where the "boardwalk" will be? Specifically the "walk"ing portion?

And the Indigo could be something like this. The streetview is a bit out of date but there are...

Probably because of the fees a credit card would charge... doesn't make sense for $2 transactions.

Most other transit cards around the world are of the "stored value" type like a gift card that...

Something like this would be cool... dare to dream?

Langdon Hall if you've got the bucks for it. Spectacular setting.

I suppose that's true that people are more cautious..but I very rarely see both lanes in use even when the roundabout is busy (going straight through Erb @ Ira Needles at rush hour). For the most...

They really need to paint lines in the roundabout if they want people to realize there's supposed to be room for two cars in there.
