It's just the middle portion, the renders show the rest of the shed being converted to a green roof. I really hope they install an irrigation system on it or we'll be looking at burnt grass all summer. Even better, some kind of astroturf, it would be green year round the only downside is no...

Less lanes, less expensive! If the downtown stretch could be reduced to 2 lanes ea way that's standard TBM diameter size and it would save a lot of money on boring. Spadina to Sherbourne is 2.3km. Also, the current configuration is not 6 lanes, since it's double-decked with Lakeshore...

What happens to all the marina's and ports on Queens Quay?? A tunnel along the existing Gardiner route OR the rail corridor makes a lot more sense IMO. Especially if they bore. Boring is obviously much less disruptive to traffic than cut & cover. If the city wants to bury the Gardiner AND the...

I spilled my drink when I read this. I have a bad feeling your park is going to turn into condos, LOL!

agree 1000% 400WellingtonGuy, from Union the first two DRL stops westward should be Front/John (Skydome/MTCC) and Front/Spadina (proposed Globe Lands Shopping Mall)

What's with the gaps between the glass? Looks like it's going to rain right through it

I can't think of any public projects that complete without cost over runs.. this was moving really slow, every time I walked by NPS this summer there was no one working

It would be great if they found money to bury the Gardiner 4km from Dufferin to Bay, the Big Dig is not much longer and only cost Boston $24 billion...

LOL! His second photo, that's not the Gardiner.. it's Queens Quay! It will actually look really good from that angle, I always hated the unfinished/cheap look of the CN Tower, now they put something in the way to block it.. out of sight, out of mind

Yes. (no time to explain!)

Industry events (not just planning) always have high prices, one purpose is to keep the annoying public out so its only affordable for companies to send their key employees etc. Students could get in if either if they're rich and $300 is peanuts or their school sends them. That said, they do...

The waterfront trail ends at Bathurst. Then you have to dodge car traffic the rest of the way into the core. For joy rides sure, but it's not safe or practical for daily commutes, especially in the winter months. And the commute by bicycle isn't 15 minutes, it's more like 40-60 minutes. Plus...

Instead of constructing the tallest piece of concrete in the world and giving all the money away to marketers I think developers should invest their time in stuff people might actually care about, location/price are obvious.. how about fast networks and home automation, imagine being able to...

I think anonymity allows insiders and SME to give opinions they otherwise wouldn't. It's a great thing. Someone will always be around to abuse that privilege, but life is too short to be upset about them.

The less construction costs the more money they have for marketing? That sounds rational: "We've done radios ads and print ads, but what was really missing to sell people on our condos, the secret sauce, was TV ads. Our old budget couldn't afford commercial time during the Super Bowl"

Great point sixrings, I wish the government response for building subways/LRT was quicker but we elected someone promising to freeze taxes. :rolleyes:

It's only 3300 square feet? Are you moving from Mississauga? LOL

Depends what direction you're facing, with south exposure, L Tower and Backstage are all directly south of 88 Scott, Brookfield Place 3 could go up on the south west side, and some people speculate 33 Yonge (EDS building) could be built over. Hopefully the rest of The Market stays predominately...
