The LRT thread is here: http://www.waterlooregionconnected.com/showthread.php?tid=14 Its great that they are out running at full schedule now. Go down King or Charles and you are guaranteed to see one, where a couple of months ago it was hit or miss. I thought some of the road crossings were going to be worse than they currently are with almost a full train complement, so that is a pleasant surprise.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 06-15-2019 The ground-floor renovation at 91 King St W (former BG Diamonds & Gold) is getting closer.

If I understand correctly, the plaintiff couldn’t even really substantiate the rumour as being more than a rumour. More generally, though, the seller should have no duty to inform prospective buyers of past stigmatic events like murders that don’t actually have an objectively measurable effect on the property. If we require that, then eventually we end up with such events being recorded on title and all such properties permanently stigmatized for no good reason. If some particular buyer does research, finds out there was a murder, and decides not to buy, fine. But to require everybody to play along with that sort of superstition is not justifiable. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - HistoryInDecay - 06-19-2019 Sorry if this has already been posted but I didn't see it; The lot formerly belonging to Emmanuel College now has a demolition fence up around it and some general machinery sitting on the property. Everything there will be demolished (along with two homes on the side of the property). Additionally, Almost the entire block between Charles, Delta and Sydney (5 homes, a former printing building) has been bought by an unnamed developer. Fences are up on part of the property. All of it is currently vacant. Neighbors have been told to call police immediately if anyone is loitering around them (as I learned from experience... Oops) Not sure if the business on the corner of Sydney and Charles is also part of that or not. RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - jamincan - 06-19-2019 Is the college moving, or just rebuilding? RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - timio - 06-19-2019 ^ Downsizing. The buildings they sold were the oldest on the property, not accessible, and in need of major renovations to remain usable. Also student populations have shrunk substantially over the past 15 years, so the space wasn't required. They keep the house on the corner, academic building, library, and newer residence building.

Great location for any kind of redevelopment. |
