Noite do Mercado (Night of the Market) is a traditional celebration in the city of Funchal (on the Island of Madeira) that takes place every year and lasts all night long. The event is centered around the famous Funchal market (Mercado dos Lavradores) and the streets surrounding the market. It’s always crowded with joyful people creating a real festive happening …. with lots of singing Christmas carols, dancing, drinking and having fun.

Davenport Diamond Grade Separation

vic — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 15:50:12 +0000

Metrolinx is planning to grade-separate the railway tracks that run along the east side of our neighbourhood (between Campbell Ave. and Lansdowne) and the CN Tracks on the north side of our neighbourhood (between Dupont and Davenport). Here's the Google Map link.

Currently, these tracks cross each other at-grade, meaning that they intersect at ground level. Trains travelling along the north-south tracks must wait for east-west trains to finish passing through before they can proceed, and vice-versa. The grade separation plan proposes to elevate the north-south GO Transit Barrie Line tracks over the Davenport Diamond, eliminating the intersection and train traffic conflicts.

Though no details have been provided yet about exactly how this grade separation will occur, the summary basically goes like this:

A bridge will be built to carry GO trains on the Barrie line over the east-west freight line
The bridge would start ramping up from just north of Bloor St., proceed over the Davenport Diamond, and return to ground level north of the Diamond (probably between Davenport Rd. and St. Clair Ave.
Wallace Ave. would not be closed (as was possible in one of the previous grade separation proposals)
Some additional track crossings may be opened up, e.g. Paton Rd. or Antler St. / Lappin Ave.
Space under the bridge could potentially be re-purposed by the community (Park? Trail? Other?)

Timelines, construction methods, costs/funding, and other details have not been provided yet, though I expect some of that will be made available soon.

This thread will be updated as we continue to find out more. All comments and discussions related to this project will be consolidated here too.

Note: Grade separation was previously discussed in 2009 with a few options proposed, but this ended up getting rolled into a larger Barrie corridor expansion EA and shelved until recently.

Potential Salon Opening

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:54:17 +0000

Hi, I am considering opening up a salon on dupont west of symington and am wondering what local businesses and residents think about this. I know there are already, or have been salons open in this neighbourhood. I have been in a nearby neighbourhood(for 7 years) renting a chair and am considering opening up my own shop. The price point would be approx $30 for mens cuts and $55/60 for women's cuts. I would also be offering all other hair services, colouring, up do's etc. I come with a pretty full clientele, but want to bring other stylists.
