This is so utterly sad and unacceptable!

There are also many tangible recommendations in the article linking park design with maintenance, including mandating features like toe-rail guards. I especially like the suggestion of considering certain parks that help give the city its “identity”, Sugar Beach, Yorkville, Berzcy..etc as...

Considering the size of the site and its heavily used urban context, I believe this might be the ideal location for the City to start to conceive of a new public space category—like an urban plaza, green square, or something similar that might more realistically match what is feasible on a small...

New Park at 464-470 Queen Street West A new 820 m2 park is coming to 464-470 Queen St. W., at the corner of Queen Street West and Augusta Avenue in the Alexandra Park neighbourhood. The park design will be shaped through community engagement and is proposed to include lighting, seating areas...

I really wish the Food Hall was where the Shoppers Drug Mart is, open and spilling onto the central plaza - activating the core of the project.. Shoppers in such a prime spot is so underwhelming!

@Edward Skira, as mentioned in another thread, one way to alleviate this issue is to keep them as pins, but give parks, and public spaces for example, their own theme thread - as there are SO MANY of them scattered everywhere in the forum. UT giving them weight (say just as much or more City...

@interchange42 , Thanks for this thorough explanation. Very helpful! "they (parks) are somewhat different from buildings," I would say that they are in fact, VERY different, especially as you mentioned the role they play in shaping the public realm - The Lower Don Lands , Love Park, St...

You would hope. I bet some who moved to the "entertainment district" did as well... Richmond Street West is now pretty much snoozeville between University and Spadina... I know it is more than just condo dwellers complaining about noise that led to the demise of streetlife there, but the...

How long before people living in those condos begin complaining about noise, parties, and people out on the streets till 4am, calling 311, and petitioning the city to extend and enforce noise by-laws?. I am all for "mixed use" but we need to find a way to also protect our "entertainment" and...
