TSA! I love Toronto school of art. Took some classes there this winter and the vibe was so great. Glad we can bring artists into this boring development.

Some interesting interim activation ideas planned for the runway district/Bay 12 - from the March, 2023 XOXO Downsview Committee meeting (https://44e0cc70-0fba-43fa-98a1-d99b0274c6c3.filesusr.com/ugd/4ea6e4_036f4d01879e44d6a24f8cb135a6f33e.pdf) What I found interesting was the mention of a...

I just had friends come visit from Calgary, and they were quite shocked at how many centres and hubs there were besides downtown Toronto. They found it fascinating. It's also growing considerably in the fact we also have more emerging hubs such as 2150 lakeshore like you said but also the...

When Chow ran in 2014 she proposed 200km of bike lanes in 4 years, I wonder if any of the vision would carry over if she wins.

it's been about a year since the last public meeting, I'm curious as to how their plans are going and hopefully Fletcher's motion could cause a 'dent' in an impactful way. That being said I'm not sure when this motion will pass/ if their site planning would be temporarily halted or continue as...

I agree in the sense that it would have been nice to have active retail frontages but at the same time it's nice to have more young people passing through this development. When a neighbourhood is student-friendly it's almost always a great vibe imo.

The roads turn me off from this development. I'd rather it be more European-style and walkable.

Yes I've been manifesting this! Happy to hear.

I'm excited too. I just hope this area becomes hip. It will undoubtably be a destination with the green spaces but I'd like to see the Hearn turned into a major art space or attraction and I'd like the feel of Villiers to be artistic and walkable. Kind of like our version of an 'Old...

Summer beer garden... My face just lit up like a candle.

I was wondering if anyone can speculate what will happen with the ‘neon’ signage in the honest ed’s alleyway. It was a key element of the plan, but also the micro-retail component was supposed to be ever-evolving. How will that all be executed if the stores will be pop-ups?

This city really kills me sometimes. Just when you want the future to be exciting, it feels very bleak when developers don't care. I hope there will be a decade in Toronto's history that will develop like Chicago or Copenhagen and actually care about architectural design. Ok rant over.

Vaughan is only 273 sq km so it's pretty compact. I think they can create some bike infrastructure at least.

Love. They need to tone down the car dependency though.

I think it would be a longer term investment to tear it down for the public good. I fear that it will be this way for decades, and will be integrated into new neighbourhoods/ be harder throughout time if we don't tear it down sooner rather than later. Of course I agree with what you said about...

Northern Light posted this on the other thread: Make sure to fill out the downtown Yonge BIA survey, I think a lot of you guys' ideas would be great. There is a draw for a bunch of prizes if you submit. Heres the link...

Thanks just filled it out!

very interesting!

Yonge and st Clair looks like it would be a promising location for a design college of some sorts. I hope midtown will eventually have some post-secondary institutions. This would make the area more hip and student friendly.

I miss the Ab soooo much. They shut down recently for good :/
