I agree, U of T St. George is mostly historical and therefore should reinforce that feel. There are some paths where there will be historical lighting, but most of it will be contemporary. Unfortunately, this isn't even a good contemporary design. I also think that even though the campus is...

An important thing to note is that they don't just want to see a lot of development without strings attached. They want a better community - that's what support for development should be about... not height-measuring contests. I believe that the NIMBY/YIMBY terms create an unhealthy debate on...

I think this is a great balance between suburban and urban living; all mixed up into one community. If we built more of this across the region, on our underutilized land, we wouldn't have a housing problem.

It's perfect 😍

I think the white hood creates a contrast and makes the Victorian lights stand out, in a good way. To each his own.

I know it's a small detail, but I'm disappointed that the Victorian lights have a black hood, not a white one as is usually done. This is how they normally look...

Not just guidelines. It's the Toronto Green Standard, which is mandatory. From the mid/high-rise standard version 3... Use a combination of the following strategies to treat a minimum of 85 per cent of all exterior glazing within the greater of first 16 m of the building above grade or the...

According to the Toronto Green Standards Version 3.0, which is currently in-effect for developments submitted after May 1, 2018; all mid-rise and high-rise buildings must install EV chargers for 20% of all parking spaces and include electrical conduits to the rest of them so that more chargers...

I wouldn't want to see so much of a street covered in green paint. I think it looks kinda cheap and distracts from the cityscape. I would be fine with the red asphalt that is used in the Netherlands for their bike lanes... and that would also mean a smoother and more comfortable ride, due to its...

They're absolutely right. Metrolinx could've at least tried to make the facility integrate with the park. Instead, they posted these long paragraphs that were basically non-responses, instead of showing how the feedback would be used in a new design.

Yes, I'm sorry. I took the info from an earlier Infrastructure Ontario post. Here's the updated list from the Metrolinx blog... EnTransit – Keolis Canada Inc. – Keolis SA;SNC-Lavalin Constructors (Pacific) Inc. – SNC-Lavalin Inc. – SNC-Lavalin Operations & Maintenance Inc. – SNCF...

The key takeaway here is that only two out of the four teams have submitted proposals and the deadline was in late November 2021. Here are our options... EnTransit Applicant Lead: SNC-Lavalin Capital, Siemens Project Ventures, Keolis Construction Team: SNC-Lavalin, Siemens Design Team...

That's my tweet on the right 😂

Yes, many cities have background buildings and I see no problem to this. However, many of our background buildings are very low-quality and do not create a sense of place. Iconic and background buildings should work together to create some sort of character. The latter can avoid luxurious...

Any idea as to why construction was delayed?

It would help to write on how it relates to the discussion, not just pasting article links. Otherwise, you're just spamming.

I'm sorry. I appreciate the articles but this is supposed to be a thread about cycling infrastructure in Toronto; not a general cycling discussion. @interchange42

That is exactly what I think of Toronto.
