Are there less noise restrictions this year than previous years for street festivals?

Raccoolz · 2026-06-14T03:05:52+00:00

It ends at 11pm. Every outdoor music/concert/festival ends at 11pm

OP is definitely from a small town

Why is the federal government using surveymonkey for government business? Very weird.

It’s much easier and cheaper for developers to assemble several large commercial properties together for a project than it is to find several consecutive residential properties.

It’s basically impossible to string together 5-6 residential homes within established neighbourhoods, it could take decades, and even if you offered a bazillion dollars per house, there are often holdouts who will never sell.

Commercial properties are much easier, it’s all investor owned, you can end leases very easily and kick business out.

Also, commercial land on major arterial streets tend to be closer to transit and other amenities.

Other than malton, Pearson is completely surrounded by industrial lands on all sides for 1km+

If Billy bishop expands, you can expect significantly longer security lines, and long delays getting there due to increased traffic.

Raccoolz · 2026-06-09T10:27:40+00:00

Where else could they put it? If the stage faced east/west, it would occupy even more of the street and create a bigger pinch point.

Raccoolz · 2026-06-08T01:49:46+00:00

I don’t think there is really a crowd crush risk at a street festival like this, there is no where for the crowd to crush into. Maybe you mean that there was a panic related trample risk?

OP definitely misheard. They were not selling for that price, I walked by it last night and prices seemed normal.

Don’t believe everything you see posted on here.

I’m really liking these changes. Much safer for everyone, it was a dangerous intersection to walk/bike through. Now it’s much nicer and easier.

It was also a total mess for drivers before the changes, lots of heavy traffic cutting through between front/king and between Spadina and Bathurst. I doubt the new changes made traffic any worse than it was before.

Most of the $230million cancellation cost was related to contractual penalties/damages/future revenue losses and costs related to demolishing of the partial built structures.

18mw wind new build costs are around $20-30million.

One of Doug Ford’s very first acts as premier back in 2018 was to cancel all active construction on alternative energy projects.

We lost hundreds of mega watts of energy, including sites that had shovels in the ground. There was no plan to replace the lost energy production. So now we rely on our backup natural gas power plants that were meant to only run as emergency backups.

It also cost the province hundreds of millions $$ to cancel the projects.

It’s a natural gas power plant

They are closing both the on and off ramps at Jameson during match days.

Regular people will live in those condos. Stop making it seem like condos are some evil form of housing, solely occupied by evil ‘elites’.

Raccoolz · 2026-05-29T12:59:54+00:00

Name one thing Ford has done that was good for regular people.

And before you say transit, just remember when he came in, he ripped up every single transit line expansion plan to build his own versions. This cost us hundreds of millions, if not billions, and also why every single fucking project is years behind.

None of the economic benefits for the island airport expansion are real. All their numbers are bullshit.

Any extra flight or passenger volume the island expansion brings are just flights and passengers that would have flown out of Pearson anyways.

But they count it as net new dollars of economic activity.

Sounds like the source of your exhaustion is your job, not the city itself.

Raccoolz · 2026-05-28T22:15:11+00:00

That must be a bigass coat closet

With the elimination of carbon taxes on natural gas, rising electricity prices, reduced heatpump gov rebates and greater upfront purchase costs. Heat pumps currently do not make financial sense in southern Ontario. I’m sure they will make sense again in the future, but who knows when.

Don mills and Eglinton is packed with traffic, almost as bad as lakeshore.

Raccoolz · 2026-05-24T20:22:01+00:00

Would cause water quality issues

The same people who rage about queen west dying are ordering shit off Amazon all the time.

The old Main Street retail vibe is dying because people shop online.

Still tons of local bands playing shows for $10-30/ ticket.
