I think the line will eventually get extended up there. But not for a while. My guess would be 2060 at the earliest. The current slate of subway projects wont be finished till 2040. The city will take a pause and then start the next phase of expansion projects in 2050, which leads to 2060 at the...

The Arena has about 25 or 30 years of life left before it goes for a full re-development. Lets see if they move the Raptors to their own specific arena or keep both the Maple Leafs and Raptors playing in the same arena. Toronto is a very vibrant city and can easily sustain two arenas in the near...

Maybe Rogers?

The seats are still pretty uncomfortable and they lack cup holders. I also think it needs more social gathering spots too. But they have made some good changes. So it's a good improvement but it still has a long way to go.

It looks like it will be finished by early next year. why is it gonna take till 2028 to open?

hopefully sheppard line gets extended east and west

Rail Deck Park was too ambitious for Toronto which clearly shows Toronto is not yet in the big leagues of global Alpha cities. Maybe by 2050

I personally wish they would build the Frank Gehry's original vision for Mirvish+Gehry here. The three towers proposal which got converted into Forma. It will look so awesome here, along with Exchange, Marilyn Monroe Buildings, and M City.

i am just hoping for eglinton lrt to be done by world cup time

Queen-Spadina should be called Chinatown and King-Bathurst should be called Fashion District. High-Tech should just be called Richmond Hill and I think Vaughn Metro Centre should just be called Vaughn

Totally agree. 25 years ago Toronto's skyline looked like a typical mid-western city excluding Chicago. Now it has the 3rd largest skyline in North America.

why cant we just call them and ask to confirm the final height?

Couple of reasons for this. 1 - We are besides the United States so our cities do resemble US ones especially in the realm of car culture vs Melbourne which is near Asia and Asian influence of public transportation, pedestrian shopping lanes seep in. 2 - The harsh winter weather makes increases...

Mississauga has a burgenoning population and Missisauga can host a 30-40k size stadium for sports, concerts, and other events. A 7,500k capacity stadium will wofefully underserve Mississauga. Not only will this stadium serve Mississauga but most of Western GTA.

At its current pace, according to my calculations, the One should top out by September next year if they built upto 91 floors and maybe June next year if they build up to 85 floors.
