Justifying this monstrosity based on increased “animation” and “public realm” is puzzlingly sycophantic. King West is animated enough! It’s vibrancy comes from the patios, restaurants, clubs, and beautiful red-brick architecture. It doesn’t need “animation” any more than Queeen West. Every...

Toronto has a pittance of parks compared to other great cities like London and Paris. It's disappointing how we've come to accept the current state from government. The downtown core, especially, has an absurdly low acres of parkland/person. The entire site should have been purchased as a park...

This is such a short-sited and petty view. This park's benefits will be far-reaching. Not just for the people that live next to it, but to the growing number of commuters who work downtown, tourists, and, more importantly, future generations. What’s more, it will help to balance out the amount...

The proposed rail deck park's importance goes far beyond that of additional green space for the "CityPlace" neighbourhood. Its size will make it a destination for many people within the downtown core because people far prefer larger green spaces to smaller ones. Do you think Trinity-Bellwoods...

This park is a chance to create a Trinity-Bellwoods equivalent for downtown Toronto. If we don't capitalize on this opportunity, there won't be another. That ultimatum is why it's critical for us, as stewards of the city, to go ahead with the plan, without compromise.

Thanks for the update. That's great to hear! By any chance, is there an official website I could check which details the parkland dedication?

Does anyone know if the park in the south-east corner (seen here: http://oneyongecondo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/1yongest-Condo-Birdseye-rendering.jpg) is going to be conveyed to the city as a public park, or if it's a POPS? If the latter, I wonder what they did to meet their parkland...

How is this a good addition when it sits on the south-side of the street in a Northern-hemisphere city? It's going to massively increase shadowing. Microscopically, it's going to be worse for shadowing than the disaster at 629 King West. People on this forum seemingly do not realize that the...

Looking north from 25 The Esplanade.

How would you guys feel about buying a condo in this building? I'm considering right now, and it seems like a good long term play just based on it's location.
