It only makes no sense from a transit planning perspective I feel. But that isn't a Eau du Soleil problem, that is a Humber Bay Shores problem.
On the contrary, I think it should be one of the bigger concerns. This is a large part of the reason we end up with communities that cant handle any sort of traffic, and they end up gridlocked for kilometers on end which make commutes much longer than they should be.I feel transit is overstated at the expense of building great communities with all the necessarily amenities to make it great. The need to travel efficiently to and from work should not be THE primary concern.

Take Humber Bay for example, a normal 10-15 minute commute downtown by car turns into a 30-40 minute fiasco. By transit you might as well budget at least an hour to get to the core due to the pathetic transit options around the area (which has essentially remained unchanged in the past 30 years when there was virtually no populous).
The lack of transit, I meant.@WislaHD, how do tall buildings in Humber Bay Shores make no sense from a transit planning perspective?

Yes, that is a problem, not helped by Metrolinx incompetence recently.The lack of transit, I meant.
High density + insufficient transit in area with only few access/exit points is a problem.

Humber Bay illustrates everything that's wrong with transit planning, infrastructure planning, and city planning in this city. The neighborhood is playing catch with every single aspect of city living, most notably: schools, electricity, and transportation.Improving transit connection in Humber Bay Shore doesn't change that it's a high rise residential resort subdivision lacking in most areas that define a great neighborhood.
Hmm do I see the old 2 Queen West proposal in the background at 0:37?
