I'm sorry, you applied for (which means you got because you're the province) a permit in March, and you're daylighting mid-July? WHAT THE ABSOLUTE HOLY HELL?

Oh yeah, can't wait for Canadian HSR to definitely happen...

Uhh, PE........... they don't have the permit.

Now, Drain/Site service they could have had at the end of February............but as of July 11th, they have yet to cut the cheque.

For the record, that performance is abysmal all around.

But i don't know if I could go very far w/Drain Site service when none of the other permits are ready, (they are also in process only on Mechanical and plumbing).

Which leaves the question of ''why' they are in process...........

That I don't know.

Under-achievement to say the least, either way, but exactly whose I'm not as clear on.

To be fair as a provincial agency MX doesn’t technically need municipal permits, they just go through the process as an act of good faith. But yes moving slow.

I've heard other reasons for Mx getting permits from senior management. 'Second set of eyes'. They don't always trust their consultants/contractors, and recent projects would suggest this is not without reason.

I e-mailed the construction manager for the project last year and he said it was all going to be happening together with the Transportation Masterplan in the area: https://www.toronto.ca/community-pe...tions/infrastructure-projects/stclairwesttmp/. I suspect there's a bit more coordination, hence the slow pace.

I also think this might all be tied to the province's unwillingness to approve the zoning amendments for this area (https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-5872), which is extremely annoying. Everything seems stuck in this area because the province refuses to approve it. They even had to release an update on their review website earlier this year to say they are still considering it....3 years after it was submitted by the city. Absolutely abysmal for a province that supposedly is trying to get shit built. They could literally rubber stamp this and immediately unlock the whole area...but instead they're "considering it".
 
What's there to consider? No one wants to open any factories or warehouses in the area (and for good reason). It's too far from highways and too close to people's homes for industry. People, however, would live here. Businesses would open here in mixed-use developments. Just let the area develop organically and provide the right infrastructure like the GO station sooner rather than later.

I agree wholeheartedly, and sent an email to ask. However the email that is listed by the province on their website is out of service now and I got a bounce back, so I can't actually find out who to contact at the province to get clarity. Wish one of our newspapers would pick up on this BS by the province and investigate.

Didn't Premier Doug Ford gave out his cell phone number so people can contact him?

How about the Contact The Premier website at https://correspondence.premier.gov.on.ca/EN/feedback/default.aspx

Or the Get In Touch With Doug Ford, MPP website at https://fordmpp.ca/contact/

Probably will get a form answer from a "robot".
