Should we be worried that Metrolinx no longer has a page up for the St. Clair-Old Weston Smart Track station? I followed the link from the city's Smart Track page and landed here. Only reference to the project I could find on Metrolinx's site was this Kitchener Line GO Expansion map where the...

To me, the way to save this (besides relocating Therme completely to the Better Living Centre site) would be to lose the Entrance Pavilion on the mainland side and reduce the footprint by 30% or so. A more universal public entry way to the island would go a long way to psychologically say "this...

Question for discussion: do you think the Therme development would be easier to swallow if you knew that the Island Airport was going to be closed once the lease is up in 2034 and turned into a big park with bridge access? I'd be okay with the spa if I knew there was a bigger, more central...

I did read it but apparently I can't read! Thanks!

This is really great. Need to see more of this across the city. Would be smart to include a few retail units along the Bloor St. frontage so residents can pick up some basics without getting in their cars.

Good point. Instead of benches and art that everyone can enjoy, we should probably build something like this on the chance that someone we don't like sits too close

Step 1: Complete the Ontario Line Step 2: Build a temporary stadium at one of two locations: a) Exhibition Place parking lot 2 (or maybe on the footprint of Better Living Centre?) b) Booth Yards (next door to East Harbour) Step 3: Demolish Rogers Centre and build a permanent new stadium in...

The design here is very good and intensification in this neighbourhood is very welcome... but it strikes me as odd that the best course of action for this block would be to demolish two perfectly fine (albeit undersized) buildings, pick up and MOVE a heritage building all while a useless surface...

This section remains the biggest question mark to me. Is this going to be a tunnel or a bridge? The change in grade would have to be quite stark to reach clearance over the trains. And if they do pursue the connection to Sorauren Park (which I would love to see for very selfish reasons) it could...

Love this. Would love to see this entire stretch of The West Mall develop into a high street. It will be an uphill battle to establish, but once it's there the neighbourhood will wonder how they lived with out it.

current conditions. really good looking project.

while we're on the topic... they should close the redundant city hall parking entrance on the south side of Queen and give that space back to pedestrians. (It leads to the same garage as the one across the street, correct?) Would be a nice, symbolic way for city council to show they are...

Planning and Housing Ctte should amend it! If they're asking for "prescribed rates of affordable housing" (as they should!) they should not handcuff the developers to some pointless "step down" architecture which lowers total GFA all for the sake of protecting one single backyard from a little...

Good decision, but we need to drop the "provide the appropriate transition in scale" requirement here. If anything the single family homes to the north of the site should be upzoned to allow mid-rise by right. Why is Dufferin not considered an "Avenue"? The City should do everything possible to...

Maybe we could convince some local billionaires to pitch in a couple hundred million. Instead of Westin Harbour Castle we could have Weston Harbour Park?

I actually like Fort York as a name for the station-- it's about as close to Fort York as Pioneer Village station is to the actual Pioneer Village. Aligns with naming the stations after major attractions nearby (Museum, Exhibition, Science Centre).

I get the feeling we won't come to an agreement here, but in my view this complex is downright hostile to pedestrians in a location that should be the most welcoming to pedestrians in the city. Opening this space up would create an iconic space in a city that is sorely lacking in them. The...

It's so painfully obvious what should happen here: 1) Build an iconic tower with a hotel and conference centre along with the proposed office space at 11 Bay (across the street) 2) Tear this sucker down and replace it with a wide open park/piazza 3) Rebuild Jack Layton Ferry Terminal We have...

Can't wait to find out which bank will end up in that corner retail unit!

Maybe people in Toronto wouldn't hate "condos" if we didn't build stuff like this
