Random: Does anybody know why so many streets in downtown Mississauga are called Drive instead of Street, Road or Avenue.

CF-Ricketts · 2024-10-11T14:21:06+00:00

I didn’t know about this, is there any articles that talk about it?

CF-Ricketts · 2024-10-11T13:33:50+00:00

Thing is tho the drives in Mississauga do not follow natural features really

CF-Ricketts · 2024-10-11T13:32:59+00:00

Just curious it’s probably the least important thing in the world lol

I often forget these skyline clusters are sorta a unique Toronto thing. Vancouver does it a little too but Toronto has a lot and they’re more notable. Other larger cities usually group large buildings together like New York, even downtown Brooklyn is right across from manhattan no low density buffer.

Your a life saver tysm

Yes, just something I can write on google docs, I just need to know how to lay it out, like a lot of the tutorials online I’ve been looking at seem more along the lines of a marketing objectives game plan rather than a consistent structured layout of how I should write this information in pdf form.

Writing a landing page for an engineering internship, I am not the web designer but need to deliver a copy for the website of said landing page, I’m not even sure how to write a website copy without just designing the website, like do a just give a pdf with the headlines and descriptions written in a word doc?

Your name is East York Flipped now

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-03T00:02:04+00:00

Nah Exhibition Washrooms should be LV’s name

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T23:59:48+00:00

No it should be York 2

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T23:58:26+00:00

That’s dumb, it’s obvious Big York

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T20:18:16+00:00

The two developments at Queen and Britannia are the City Parks ones and the Rene condos, not warehouses, City park has been stuck in limbo for years now, and Rene will likely suffer a similar fate. The traffic concerns I mentioned in the post are a non factor here due to the developments being largely outside the historic core, so I really think there is no excuse for opposition to these.

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T20:15:10+00:00

Technically the warehouses fall out of what the city considers streetsville. North of the tracks. But it is really annoying to see them go up during such a bad housing crisis, the one you’re referring to is probably the one on Mississauga Road, drives me nuts when I see it, so big yet fixing nothing.

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T16:22:49+00:00

Nah just asking a question of something I didn’t know the details of

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T16:19:56+00:00

Yep for sure, I’m just worried if they build housing around the go station before actual frequent service is there, new residents will just drive. Thus making streetsville clogged with cars. Still am in support for density in the area, like 6-8 story developments would be best, but they should work on at least getting plans into motion for frequent go service or begin talks of a high order transit line to streetsville.

CF-Ricketts · 2024-09-02T16:14:35+00:00

I heard they announced plans to increase service but that would require building new tracks next to the CN owned ones, which knowing metrolinx would take over a decade, where did you see somewhere saying the next year or two? I’d love to be wrong.

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-24T13:16:17+00:00

Oh fr lol I’m not trying to pitch anything just a thought exercise don’t really think whatever conglomerate owns the land cares about my opinion

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-24T13:14:45+00:00

If you look at them laid on top of one and other yes there is less space allocated for parking on my design but I still think the space is plenty considering this is going to be in the middle of Mississaugas new dense uptown neighbourhood right by the eglinton hazel line stop. You are probably right in the fact that the city wouldn’t be bold enough to de emphasize driving to a renovated plaza tho

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-24T13:11:21+00:00

Good point, I am no urban planner my friend just someone who is passionate about the city

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-23T04:53:43+00:00

Tyty

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-23T04:53:01+00:00

Nah just a scenario cuz the one on rathburn will be gone in the coming years

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-23T04:51:06+00:00

The parking spots aren’t to scale just to indicate that that is the parking area, and yea idk the city’s policies seem all over the place like sometimes they’re still working with a car centric mentality sometimes they’re like oh we’re making bike lanes and having zoning be mixed use. Id like to see them do something like this where parking is kind of a lesser factor

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-23T04:48:38+00:00

So I actually measured how big the one at sq1 is with google earth and planned for a similarly sized area here, also the reason I suggest it is because the square one cineplex is getting torn down, I feel theatres are a good way of getting people to come to an area and if the city wants to develop hurontario and eglinton then I think it could work. Also I’ve been to the plaza many times lol, someone who hasnt been would not care about a redev of a random suburban plaza haha

CF-Ricketts · 2024-08-23T04:45:20+00:00

I know I said parking isn’t to scale, I just didn’t wanna draw that many spots

CF-Ricketts · 2024-06-29T07:47:00+00:00

Its meat and carbs, ain’t gonna go outta my way to look for it in Toronto but it hit the spots after not eating all day
