    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    "Clear cutting" is not what would happen. Nobody is going to send in bulldozers to the whole neighbourhood. It's about not legally restricting intensification near existing infrastructure, which would occur gradually/organically over time as the market would dictate. Most buildings would remain...

    VIA Rail

    Something that jumped out to me from this article: Has this idea been discussed in this thread? If not, any thoughts on where a potential suburban/midtown station might go in Toronto for HSR/HFR?

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    Wouldn't be a problem if we tore down the Gardiner :cool:

    Toronto Westside Mall Redevelopment | ?m | 60s | SmartCentres | Turner Fleischer

    Major upside for future residents here: it's just a quick walk to Beltline Yards to see what a well designed neighbourhood can look like!

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    You have to assume the majority of that is being eaten up by the union station loop redo and new portal. Right?

    Toronto RioCan Hall | 145.2m | 42s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    They Should Build A Movie Theatre At Dufferin Mall

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    This in an extremely generous rendering of the Yonge St slip lmao. If only!!

    King-Queen-Roncy Intersection/ROW

    Soil and plants have been added to the planters on Roncesvalles. Benches have been installed as well-- the quality of the work is disappointing to say the least. The ends are all cut unevenly and the screws are jutting up above the seating surface. The recycled plastic material kind of make...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    So let's call it Spadina to Berkeley. Any other objections? I really do feel like it should be this easy.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    To be honest I had this thought and I think there are actually ZERO parking conflicts. I did a scroll along King from Berkeley to Bathurst on google maps/streetview looking for this exact thing and only found 1 parking garage entrance at Toronto-Dominion centre.. and there is another entrance on...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    The obvious answer is to just close King St to all cars from Bathurst to Berkeley. Pedestrians only with a separated streetcar ROW down the middle. There are plenty of alternative routes for cars nearby. Would be good for tourism and night life as well as transit reliability. It's a no-brainer...

    Exhibition Place

    Buddy read the article... He's not talking about cancelling the CNE. He's talking about using the space smarter so the other 50 weeks of the year the space is not going to waste.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    How will fare enforcement work? If I tap with my debit card and the fare cops come on board, do they scan my debit card?

    Toronto Dufferin Grove Village | 125.03m | 36s | Primaris | BDP Quadrangle

    Crazy that an entire block of houses was razed for that sports field on the top left!

    FINALLY some work happening on the parkette

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    If you can't see that the second scenario would be better than the first, I can't help you.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    The elevated road or number of lanes is not really the thing that cause traffic or a bad public realm experience. It's the ramps. A wide boulevard with normal intersections would be vastly superior to the car sewer of on-ramps and turning lanes we have now. No amount of public art of basketball...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    This accounting fails to consider the value of the land that would be freed up as well as the property taxes that land would generate in perpetuity. Not to mention the massive improvement to the public realm we would gain. That's what you're paying for. Quibbling over sunk costs on the big ugly...

    Toronto East Harbour Transit Hub | 14.35m | 1s | Metrolinx | Metrolinx

    Have there been any updates to the East Harbour Transit Hub design? Any docs/drawings released along with the other Ontario Line stations? Feel like it's been a while since we've seen anything on the station itself.
