Not all those who wander are lost. I explore Metroscapes, where natural and built environments collide.

Well hopefully this puts it in the radar of combining contracts and saving some fixed costs.

Imposter syndrome is real. I have to get myself and my partner through it all the time.

The trail west of the Speed River is such a great asset, but it's so dark and sketchy save for the odd light rays from the side streets. Really curtails it's use during the depths of winter.

This has bothered me on and off all throughout today. And it shouldn't. But it's because this should be a slam dunk for the government, but the ball is rolling past the broad side of a barn. #cdnpoli

There's value if it's part of a mass. Gotta try.

That was a miscommunication apparently. What are they doing over there?!

Pathway past Mile 49, and over the bridge to the festive core. I consider the adjacent homes part of downtown, even if the planning regime doesn't treat it that way.

Happy New Year to these track panels that are still sitting there, waiting to be installed, so that the second platform that's been finished for months can be opened and used.

Some other shots from Thursday night that I didn't get to post. I ended up getting a hot chocolate, because why not. We rag on our 'national coffee chain' as being part of a huge conglomerate with majority foreign-owned shares, but the top ⅔ was pretty good, and it was open late. That's pretty ok.

Only ones off the top of my head are the drops in Curran Hall Ravine, or the West Highland cascade southeast of Scarborough General. Both are artificial dated erosion control structures.

$300k at most for the trail and enhancements? I'd expect the rest is just acquiring the property. Here's the kicker: the City sold the in 2012 for $145k (almost $200k now adjusting for inflation). So the property owner's profiting about $2 million off of a short-sighted divesture of public property.

And an eagle-eyed user on @urbantoronto.bsky.social spotted this in the City of Toronto Transportation budget. Good news, but $2.5 million seems like a hefty price tag for a path through a parking lot.

The central station tunnel is only open because the train just came, but this would be solid if it remained open 6:00-23:00.
