Can you give an example where a route now has more transfers because of my suggested plan. I am not able to follow what you wrote.

There was one transfer earlier as well. Have the number of transfers gone up with the plan I suggested?

I showed how it can be done with 1 transfer. Is there a scenario that will need multiple transfers?

STC is better suited for a hub. Sheppard subway can be extended further east from STC. I doubt that LRTs are supposed to last 30 years. Especially in today's era when they cost a lot more to build. 30 years later, construction could be so expensive that we may thank ourselves for at least...

Yes, there are some more pockets of urbanity extending from downtown but the vast majority of Toronto and the areas surrounding it are suburban. The point was that Downtown Toronto from far away in the air won't look too different then Mississauga's City Centre besides the obvious difference in...

If Eg East LRT is going to be built on Sheppard ending at Line 2's Sheppard-McCowan station, then why are people wanting to have Sheppard subway a station on McCowan instead of STC? The argument in favour of keeping subway on Sheppard was to be able to extend it beyond McCowan in future. If we...

This is my photo of Downtown from my condo at Sheppard in North York where I used to live. There is 10 km of suburbia between my place and the 4 km wide Downtown. And, there is 20 km of suburbia behind me.

There is one small side effect though. Sending Ontario line to Sheppard will divert traffic away from Sheppard Line which is already not as busy as it should be. Ontario line would be a faster way to reach Downtown than Sheppard Line --> Yonge Line. Not really an extension. More like an expansion 😀

Widening 401 through Durham should be a high priority. It's strange to widen the highway to 6 lanes in countryside while the same highway is still 6 lanes in an urban area.

Does anyone see office buildings breaking ground in next 10 years? I was reading somewhere today that the projected new office demand in Toronto for next 10 years is 15 million sq. ft. and there is already 40 million sq. ft. in pipeline.

Out of the 11 tallest buildings by appearance from this angle (not by the actual height), 8 were built in the last 7 years and if you extend the time frame to last 9 years, the count changes to 10 out of 11. Built in the last 7 years from left to right: 160 Front 10 York Harbour Plaza 1...

This building is giving me Daniels Waterfront towers vibes.

It rains in general a lot more often in Switzerland in summers (even if the amount of precipitation may not be as high). It's not just an anecdote.

I was in Switzerland for more than a week (arrived back in Toronto yesterday) and it rained 7 out of 8 days there. The other day was totally cloudy. I didn't see the sun at all in those 8 days. My love for Alps vanished in a week 😅

M6? What about M5? I thought there were only 4 of them at this site.

Also many times one elevator is booked for someone moving in or moving out. For a building of this size, there would be several movings every weekend.

They are making Concord look good.

You are not thinking big enough. People deserve 5 min bus service even with subway. Those who live further away from the bus stop should be offered a shuttle van to the bus stop.

People won't have to agree on what to build. We will build everything, everywhere. We'll also have buses running parallel to subway with 5 min frequency to serve people living in between subway stations.

Gross Floor Area is still the same even after this large height increase.
