While I can agree that the 900m trek isn't particularly arduous, it might be for some people (my wife, for example). When you factor in the walk to Ontario Place, combined with the walking in the park and then the walk back, the total walking makes Ontario Place inaccessible to her (and others...

Great analysis @adma. I think you hit the nail on the head in your paragraph discussing the "is this it?" sensation. As someone who visited OP as a child in the 70s, the Forum in the 90s and then with my own kids in the 00s, there was always this feeling of "is this it". Even the children's...

What a stunning photo. I thought this was a new render until I noticed the ongoing construction on this building and 160 Front.

I personally never understood the placement for the new subway station. No point for me to harp on it now since its done, but I will anyway (just a little). There isn't a need for connecting transit lines to be physically connected and I felt a more ideal location as far as connectivity to...

There's a lot to like in the renders. It would be nice if the Therme Spa and the new Budweiser Stage had a smaller footprint, but I do like a lot of what they're doing with the remaining spaces. I would have preferred that they did away with the surface parking altogether, but at least they've...

It's more ambitious than I was expecting - and I suppose that's a good thing. It's also an improvement over the current building, but I have to agree with the above criticisms. In general, I don't like windowless walls, so when I see one, that's going to turn me off right away. Also agree...

Such a loooong wait for... THIS!!! I realize for many people this is just the gravy on what was already a horrible project. But, I was kind of hopeful. I felt the public realm of the original tower wasn't particularly great and was hopeful they would be able to improve on it. This might be the...

I haven't been following this discussion that closely so I apologize if this has already been said, but I think the overall idea of the crosstown is good, but I do believe there were bad decisions that could become quite impactful. I recall the initial designs placing the track to the south of...

@RyanD I was in the area on Sunday 24th and decided to sit in the plaza for a few minutes. My first time there since before the pandemic began. I was remembering some of the unfavourable comments about the closed-in feeling and I thought, "you know, I kind of like the closed-in effect." So...

Rail Deck Park is appealing to me for a variety of reasons which have already been discussed on here. But I'm not in favour of the city building it. There's been lots of speculation on budget. There is no way of knowing what the cost would be, but I would guess that if you want something like...
