I have heard the cancelled Metropole condominiums are to be replaced with two more Citygate phases. Does anyone know if the new buildings will be identical to the first two and if they will be taller?
Thats true, but I don't think that we will every GO there, because to GO there would be too screwball. Its not like we have any rail based transit already GOing to 905.Are Be said:Perhaps one day we'll be as goofy as those screwball Europeans and take real - deal, rail based, transit out to 905. .
BD line to MCC is not feasible. Burnhamthorpe corridor is lined with detached houses with their backyards facing the road and is way too far from Sherway, while Dundas is not in MCC. But if the TTC chooses to ignore these corridors, then the BD extension would be just as bad as Spadina subway. Max BD should be extended to is to Sherway.Roch5220 said:^I think LRT/tram along burnathorpe/hwy 10, and dundas make sence. For the most part, both hwy10 and burnathorpe can handle a ROW tram line. Dundas is a little harder. From the hwy 10, burnathorpe, when connected to the 2 GO stations, should provide easy enough access. Plus, if they extend the BD line to sherway, and then sq 1, this could also be beneficial, but be a long commutte. But the problem is that Hazel doesn't want to spend a dime, which I beleive if she had pushed for it and Missy was willing to pay their fair share, it could have been had in the past.
I am happy about the increase dheight, but not about it being more phases of Citygate. I prefer Metropole since it has more different design.Mike in TO said:According to FM at UT phases 3 and 4 will be 42 stories each and a slightly different design.
Your second point, is basically what I just said, except that you added Bloor LRT line. I know Dundas isn't in MCC, I never said it was.doady said:BD line to MCC is not feasible.

Best way to bring rail transit to MCC is LRT/tram on Dundas, Bloor and Burnhamthorpe, from Hurontario to Kipling. All three corridors have around 10,000 bus boardings per day, so they are pretty much equal. Hurontario itself should have LRT as well, since it is by far the busiest route in 905 (including Hamilton), and would still be very busy by TTC standards.
And I never said that you said it was. I was trying to point out that there is no good route for a subway to MCC. I think Hazel is right when she says Mississauga shouldn't pay for a subway.Roch5220 said:Your second point, is basically what I just said, except that you added Bloor LRT line.
