@g_meslin There is still no case for the 95 year lease and the spa. The customer projections are a fantasy. See also - fantasy passenger projections for the Billy Bishop fiasco.

@TristanToronto @JoshMatlow Why should the city forgo taxes on the site? It would amount to a subsidy.

@BravoDavenport Do as they do on condo construction sites: drop containers creating a protected walkway under the overpass.

@everydaytourist @DowntownWestYYC @DowntownCoreCA @downtowncalgary @UCalgary @yycarch Looks like a missed opportunity. Can imagine that with the right level of foot traffic, it would be a nice spot, but as you suggest, perhaps only seasonally.

@JackKlompas @RM_Transit Someone approves the proposals. Ford's people are the same crew that parted ways with Deutsche Bahn amid concerns of the "goalposts being moved" during the ongoing overhaul of GO operations.

@RM_Transit @JackKlompas Perhaps Jack is thinking more about the role of Ford as both enabler and apologist for what amounted to truly epic blunder (as measured by standard expectations of on time and on budget) amplified by poor communication.

@siomoCTV So, effectively doubling the work that is being done, and ... *checks notes* ... province proposing to reduce compensation to ab honorarium of $10K. The Ford gov't: Not Progressive. Not Conservative.

@CFIB @PierrePoilievre PP also had lots to say about the deficit, so he has to make some tough choices. Perhaps create a set amount (not a percentage) per litre. Stable revenue for gov't and reduced cost for consumers.

@gregbradyx Surprised the Jays did not intervene to keep trains running. Did they not whine about the Lakeshore closure for active transit weekends near the end of Covid? 🤔

@Boenau Using the-best-tool-in-the-shed approach is always the way. The presence of good transit and active transport options simply opens the possibilities.

@jen_keesmaat Weigh and Pay works for paid parking on street. VW Golf and F250 use different amounts of curb space and the pickup should pay more.

@JohnLorinc @InfraOntario @Metrolinx Also, wondering if Ford will need bully Chow and city council to cap residential building heights as part of the airport approach/ take off.

@Lam_mour @A_Kam @humantransit Counties in Asia have a range of schemes and yes, it seems some are not subsidized, whereas China provides significant subsidy for what is viewed as a public service.

@A_Kam @Lam_mour @humantransit Also no way that car trips cost less to society than bus trips. This is an average, but the numbers work: For every $1 paid by a transit user, society subsidizes $1.50, but for driving, society subsidizes $9.20.
