    Toronto 1025 The Queensway | 149.6m | 46s | Talisker | WZMH

    An OL line via Humberbay Shores. The entire Queensway corridor should be studied now rather than later. Many of the lands south of Queensway but north of the freeway are ripe for redevelopment.

    Toronto Water's Edge at the Cove | 182.26m | 56s | Conservatory Group | Richmond Architects

    Construction has accelerated in recent weeks. They finished the 7th floor in a week.

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

    . This all could have been avoided had the line remained 'below-grade' to Don Mills. I find it funny that the same people that advocated to keep the route on the surface will likely be same group people 'crying foul' if these trees are removed or even relocated.

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

    What an epic fail. The line should of been treated as a regional corridor. There no reason why they couldn't have made the line light metro (grade-separated) from malvern to Mississauga with a branch servicing the airport, but I guess that would have made too much sense. From a broader...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Well I can answer that question..............................The city lacks common sense. Were spending billions of dollars on a subway line that will add NO NEW KM of rapid transit to the city and to make matters worse were going to destroy a perfectly fine grade-separated infrastructure in the...

    Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    Not to mention grade separation at some level crossing. Take for example Morningside Road in Scarborough; it's a major road yet it still crosses the Lakeshore line at grade. If we want trains running every 15 minutes this may pose as a problem when it comes to traffic.

    TCHC: West Don Lands Affordable Housing (589 King St E, 2x 4 + 8s, Core Architects)

    It would have been nice if they used more bright and vibrant colour in this area. Although the overall design is fine the colours are dull and uninspiring. It almost looks like something I would see in some Russian city.

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

    I may be dreaming but I hope when JOHN TORY WINS common-sense will prevail and perhaps the money used for that cash-pit you call the Scarborough subway extension will be transferred over to Eglinton; that way the line can be fully grade separated. Of course this is all wishful thinking as...

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

    well let's hope so, because the only people I see using that stop are joggers and dog walker, who may want to use the park.

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

    Yes that's the plan. The same technique was used on the Canada Line in Vancouver.

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Well as a Planner by profession it was to my understanding that we are to mitigate these planning loop-holes by coming up with creative solutions, not restricting development based on on the fear of setting a precedents. I think Planners should embrace change and find creative solutions to...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    I agree. Atlanta, San Fran, LA, Chicago,Dallas, etc.. I hate to say it but Canadian skylines are boaring in general. The truth hurts sometimes

    Neptis' Review of Metrolinx's Big Move

    The report pretty much regurgitate what we've been saying all along. Eglinton is a regional corridor just by the nature of its length, and therefore any transit line proposed on it should function that way as well. If my memory serves me correct even Metrolinx at one point proposed a light metro...

    Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    Based on the information found on the project website it looks like tunnelling was completed almost a month ago. http://www.ttc.ca/Spadina/Project_News/Construction_News/News_by_Date/2013/November/Tunnelling_100%25_Complete%21.jsp

    Do they plan on letting us know that tunnelling is completed? Its probably been completed over a week ago yet the website hasn't been updated.

    If TBM tunnel on average 15 meters a day and there was 113 meter left as of Nov 4th, that means Torkie should of reached VMC Station extraction shaft a few days ago.
