    Yonge Street Revitalization (Downtown Yonge BIA/City of Toronto)

    I think the most important thing is widening the sidewalks. Then, reducing the car lanes to 1 or 2 lanes, either 1 or 2 way. I think if we want this area to be for pedestrian, shipping/delivery will need to have access to supply the restaurants and stores. So maybe some sections with more...

    York United FC Stadium/National Soccer Training Facility (at Woodbine Racetrack)

    The more I think about this, the more I'm convinced the team should aim for a permanent structure at VMC. It would certainly help with traveling fans from Toronto. Plus, Vaughan has a huge chunk of the York Region population and is surely going to be the region's major transportation and...

    VIA Rail

    I did a bunch of day trips in Spain recently (from Sevilla, Granada, and Barcelona) and I have to say that Renfe and the Spanish systems work wonders. Security checks were done prior to boarding in Barcelona with luggage scanners, security personnel and more. But the entire process took 5-10...

    Neighbourhoods defined by architectural style

    I began traveling more recently and have noticed that when visiting places like Barcelona or Lisbon, the architecture truly brings you into a new world. With each neighbourhood, the buildings, streetscape and activities all work together to tell a cohesive story. In Toronto, it's a bit...

    Toronto 170 Spadina | 46.94m | 12s | Plaza | BDP Quadrangle

    What a waste of an lane way. Would have been amazing if businesses had entrances there.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I really hope this is underground subway with subway stock, not some glorified streetcar line. Then again, I'm too hopeful and this may never actually be built.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    The readers are really iffy. Sometimes they work, sometimes the don't. I got on the bus this morning and 3-4 people, including myself, weren't able to tap on either at the front or back. It wasn't until my wife tapped her card on the back that it, for some reason, allowed the rest of us to tap...

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    I'm sorry, I'm kind of new to all of this. But if I am reading/understanding this correctly, the plan is to extend the Queens Quay streetcar to the east + have automated people mover from the current Jack Layton Ferry stop connect to Union?

    Toronto Union Park | 303.26m | 58s | Oxford Properties | Pelli Clarke Pelli

    That southwest view is primo, I tell ya. Primo.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Again, if a bunch people are having this issue and more continue to experience it as well, then the problem isn't the driver but the rules/system.

    Toronto Seneca College: Centre for Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (CITE) | 18.59m | 5s | Seneca College | Perkins&Will

    It looks very... institutional, if you know what I mean. Almost like a health centre of sorts.

    Toronto Garrison Crossing (was Fort York Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge) | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Pedelta

    Crazy, to think we first started talking about this almost 10 years ago. A bridge.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Isn't this marketed as Line 5 (and as part of the "subway" system) though? If the way it's operated, from a customer perspective, is different from the rest of the system, I'd rather not call it Line 5. I know, semantics and nitpicking, but just trying to avoid causing confusion and frustration.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This would just lead to confusion, in my opinion. The fact that it has undergone stations, to me, means it should stop at every stop.

    Toronto 16 York | 154.83m | 32s | Cadillac Fairview | a—A

    I hope the connection with ICE looks good from street level once it's done.

    Toronto MEC Queen Street (Mountain Equipment Coop) | 21.03m | 3s | Parallax | Sweeny &Co

    I actually didn't realize where this was until I passed by it on the TTC in person last weekend. What an eyesore! It doesn't fit into the streetscape at all and sticks out like a sore thumb. I thought you guys were exaggerating, but unfortunately not...

    Toronto Sidewalk Toronto at Quayside | ?m | ?s | Sidewalk | Snøhetta

    Yes, please. I've had my fair share of run ins with pickpocketers when I was there a few summers ago.

    Toronto Sidewalk Toronto at Quayside | ?m | ?s | Sidewalk | Snøhetta

    Here's hoping there's a large, dedicated pedestrian zone in this area. Give me a La Rambla! /wishfulthinking

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    King St needs to get rid of cars :p

    Toronto Sidewalk Toronto at Quayside | ?m | ?s | Sidewalk | Snøhetta

    I've been back and forth with this proposal for the last month or so. On the one hand, I think with Alphabet's/Google's assistance, this could end up being a revolutionary project of sorts. On the other hand, the fact that they can't promise that the privacy of residents can be protected by...
