You are right. The ramp leads to the South entrance of 205 Yonge and is not part of 197 Yonge. I think workers access the site through Victoria st, not Yonge st so it doesn't really cause a problem.

Quite right, especially the University station. I don't understand the obsession of serving NPS in the first place. Why? Nobody lives there, it is already very well served and it is hardly a tourist attraction either. From NW corner of Yonge/Queen, it is a very short walk there, I don't even...

I never claim my opinion is the only correct. And by your self-righteous conclusion in the last sentence it is you who think you have the only right opinion. Opinions are all subjective and neither of us should pretend we have the truth. OK, tell me why an "oversized development" poses a threat...

Can't agree more. Downtown is tiny (17 sq km), hardly 3% of the city. Let it grow, let it be dense and vibrant. Let it be crowded, noisy, claustrophobic and interesting 24/7. If you guys want more "green space", more "breathing room", more "tranquility", there is the rest of 97% of the city, and...

A shopping mall is 100 times better than the so called "urban fabric" that is there right now. Do we use the word" urban fabric" so loosely now? What urban fabric? Poverty? drugheads? Ill-maintained store fronts? Pee on the street corner? Homelessness? Yeah, more shopping is so much worse than...

King East is probably one of the very few streets that work just fine and additional density is not desired. If they really want to add something, try Queen East instead.

"VVIP" sales starting ...

Except Toronto never won or held anything that is truly international (aka: which most countries participate"). Wishing for "something that works" is precisely the reason why Toronto is not an attractive city. I am sure Manhattan would still work without Central Park, and Paris was not rebuilt...

15 years? Try 30. The Crosstown takes 11 years just to construct, assuming no further delay, and the DRL is nowhere near a concrete plan so far and there is no funding. Toronto would be lucky to have it by 2040, so as important as it is, this project is not going to solve our immediate transit...

yep, the problem is that there is almost no visual difference between the two. Not everyone looks down and check what it says on the ground. There should be some sort of more obvious separation between, a line of trees for example. On Victoria day, the waterfront was extremely crowded. There...

Can't wait to see the entire lot fenced up and all the parked cars gone!

Completely agree. I have said many times that our streetcar system can well function like a semi-rapid transit system, it is ourselves who refuse to allow it to happen. The new streetcars will solve part of the capacity problems already. On busy routes such as King and Queen, you only have to...

Doing more studies actually is in the best interest of politicians. It shows they have visions, are doing something and bring your hope, however, without actually constructing anything, there is no risk and real responsibility and they don't have to worry about how to finance the projects...

It is unrealistic to expect all pedestrians to avoid the bike lane. In the summer, QQ is a zoo during weekend afternoons (like yesterday), and pedestrians are distracted by a million things, not to mention many tourists might not even know it is a bike lane. Strictly speaking, they should not...

It is indeed very easy for an outsider to put down a project like that (including dismissing its "somewhat" working inside - not sure you did the investigation before throwing such sarcasm). But what would you differently without incurring additional costs? And how exactly does the design not...

agree. Every time I flew out, I needed to remember putting either a token or $3 in my suitcase for this trip back, which is stupid. I wish TTC could make the 192 bus somewhat better/more comfortable than regular buses to give tourists a good first impression. For example, with high back chairs...

You are definitely entitled to your preference and wishful thinking, but in reality, no city in the world functions the way you hope for. Even the most well designed buildings have an economic motivation behind it. Even in downtown's more prominent locations there are far worse buildings than...

No one is suggesting treating no one as second class citizen. I am suggesting riders who travel longer distance should pay a bit more to cover the additional operating cost, is that logically lacking? If I travel from downtown TO to Vaughan I am glad to pay more than traveling to Eglinton ave...

No, most of North York has more in common with Richmond Hill than Toronto. A few km of Yonge st doesn't make the vast North York that urban.
