I understand what you mean about being disappointed because developers don't give us what they promised. My question is what does the city have to do with this? Is it insufficient planning policy, or a laissez-faire approach during the approvals process? What exactly are you talking about?

How is the city setting up roadblocks? I'm not very satisfied with the East Harbour vision, but is it the city's fault? Does it have anything to do with planning policy, or is this Cadillac Fairview's fault?

At this point, why not prioritize high-speed elevators instead of escalators? It would save time and make transfer less annoying.

It's shaping up really nice... really makes me happy. I love how, at ground level, you can see that it'll act as a continuation of the Distillery District.

Which is why we should use Silva Cells!

The Viva Blue bus has shown that there are a lot of riders on this stretch. Of course, COVID could change all of that. But in general, Yonge acts as one of the main arteries for transit users that live in York Region. We can already see that there are many developments popping up on Yonge St...

You're right about that, and the fare structure is incredibly unfair to Toronto's taxpayers. But you could think about development potential, which is pretty good along Yonge. A lot of planning work has gone into what development and the streetscape would look like post-subway, but feel free to...

True, there's room for improvement. What really makes me happy is that they're gonna plant catnip! The guardian statues flanking the entrances are pretty cool, too.

Not sure if this was posted before, but Claude Cormier + Associés has released renderings for the new "Wellington Cat Promenade"! They were commissioned by Diamond Corp, RioCan REIT, and Allied Properties REIT. The cat theme was inspired by and in memory of Dizzy, a beloved local cat. Also, they...

To be fair, they're protesting the fact that the Yonge North Subway Extension to Richmond Hill was supposed to run under Yonge St, but will now run under their neighbourhoods. What I'm worried about is that there were supposed to be way more stations along the extension. Langstaff station was...

I'm pretty cynical, too. I got in touch with her office's planning advisor, so yeah I'll make sure to complain if nothing happens!

I've said it before, but planning policy is the most straightforward solution.

I hope so. It's really disappointing how many requests by Council are delayed or even completely forgotten about. I guess that's why they occasionally use "direct" instead of "request" in more important matters.

Here's the latest update we have... On July 5, 2021, the Infrastructure and Environment Committee passed a motion by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam to review street lighting standards and the agreement with Toronto Hydro... who has been a very bad actor in terms of the quality, maintenance, and...

It's not that Toronto isn't doing something... it's that we're not doing enough. Imo, not enough in quantity, quality, or speed.

The 2021-2025 Parks & Public Realm Implementation Strategy was adopted on September 14, 2021 by the Infrastructure & Environment Committee and will probably be adopted at City Council on October 1, 2021. For now, only a feasibility study is funded for University Avenue. However, they are...

I agree with the first part of your post. But you should know that the city DOES care about Exhibition Place and that is why it's making a master plan right now to realize its full potential.

They should install raised bike lanes on this street. Would definitely give it a more 'compact' proportion, and would be great for cyclists!

Thanks for the information. I guess it's kinda wasteful to rebuild the streetscape twice, but it's probably better than leaving the street in a dreadful condition while we wait for the QQE extension. Just to let you guys know, I asked the team yesterday if they could use Waterfront Toronto's...
