58 m. ago Toronto ferry terminal now under construction for massive months

As we look ahead to a time when ferry service to the Toronto Islands will be more efficient, reliable and frequent enough to accommodate the immense (and growing) crowds who head across the water during the warm-weather months, ground has finally been broken to prepare the waterfront for our fancy new fleet of watercraft.After months of planning and preliminary work, the City announced this week that construction at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal has officially begun, with fencing now blocking off some of the areas where crews will install key infrastructure needed to dock and charge the electric vessels heading our way in 2026 and 2027.The boats — though expensive — will be a welcome upgrade, being quieter, more eco-friendly and, of course, more modern, along with having increased passenger capacity than our current ferries (which range in age from just over 60 to a whopping 114 years old).As the shoreside proj...

70 m. ago 'Missing link' tunnel will soon connect 2 Toronto transit stations

After almost a decade of anticipation, construction is well underway on a long-promised pedestrian tunnel that will connect two of Toronto's key transit hubs, namely Bloor GO/UP Express Station and Dundas West subway station. Metrolinx started building the 270-metre-long pedestrian tunnel last year as part of the larger Kitchener Fourth Track and Go Expansion projects, which are aimed at transforming regional transit across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).The new tunnel is set to provide a direct connection between Bloor GO Station (a stop on the Kitchener rail corridor served by UP Express and regional GO trains) and Dundas West Station on the TTC's Line 2, which also connects to streetcars and bus routes. Currently, you have to make the frustrating above-ground transfer between the two stations. Although the walk is only a few hundred metres, it can take up to eight minutes or longer in bad weather or with luggage, which is especially inconvenie...
