The London Plane trees at city hall are spectacular; there's also a multi-unit house on Aberdeen & Locke that is surrounded by mature London Plane trees that have made it ok considering the vehicular traffic along Aberdeen/salt etc. This imo is a showstopper street tree.
I believe most people...
The old and new offers a nice juxtaposition. Varied materials will make the view more interesting from high up... as someone that had unobstructed west view of the Toronto skyline for a decade it's beautiful seeing the contrast.
It also has many mature shade trees. The bus stop there is fairly popular but the square itself never seems that bustling
Anyway I would love to see more height here.
As someone that lives nearby there are sooooo many retail spaces. There's also a coworking space on King that I don't think is exactly bumping. I don't see the value in additional spaces considering the huge opportunity that exists with what's available and the quality of options offered.
Have you actually spent any time in Mississauga lol? There are plenty of trees in Mississauga which btw is hardly a construction site... so much hyperbole .
Glad to see this project get underway.
The last two stores opened in 2015 sure didn't seem to avoid them at all.. Over half the stores opened in 2015 had columns present.
The Apple Store MixC Nanning
The Apple Store Chaoyang Joy City
The Canton Road flagship opened last summer with giant columns:
