So now we have one party trying to stop another party's land value exercise cus would impede on their own redevelopment plans/land value exercise. Peak downtown Toronto right here.

You can really see the contrast between the bright, airy atrium and the dark, cramped heritage shed here. If only we could have had the rest of it relocated to other stations or museums or something and had the more open atrium design cover all of the platforms :( Just feels like we chose to...

This was my favourite of the options, happy to see it chosen. Love the way it mirrors the shape of the other bridges when looking down the channel. Also totally agree with everyone else though that a pop of colour on the underside of the arch would go a long way.

It'll be a bank, this is Toronto after all. All our major street corners must contain nothing but banks. (This was an RBC at one point pre-renovations IIRC)

Well I guess we're doomed to a dead streetcorner for 5-10 years. What a wonderful main street we have here in Toronto!

It's only "the same" in that it is still a food hall/fancy food court. Otherwise, literally nothing else is the same.

Also in the case of Forma, I don't think if you sold buyers on it being a Frank Ghery building, and then went "JK ITS KIRKOR!" that would have gone well for them.

God this space looks sterile and unappealing.

Tim Hortons used to do this in the early 2000s specifically for peanut (and maybe some other) allergies. In retrospect I'm sure it wasn't fun for my parents to explain to 10 year old me that I suddenly wasn't able to have donuts anymore (My mum used to take me and my brother to Tims as a treat...

Meanwhile we must preserve every single sacred single detached home next to a subway line along the Danforth 🙃

When Mom says "We have 1 Bloor East at home"

"Interim terminal facilities" does not sound promising in terms of making the passenger experience any better.

Making new buildings livable, instead of just letting them be maximized for profit at the expense of the future residents, would upset developers so it'll never happen in this province 🙃 .

Regarding consolidation of City office spaces, yes there's a lot working out of City Hall and Metro Hall, but there's still plenty of staff based out of North York Civic Centre and Scarborough Civic Centre. This will be essentially the third pillar in terms of major suburban office sites...

Honestly, a truly strange store/location pairing. Hopefully we get something better as a replacement.

So turns out Simons expanded into Halifax literally yesterday lol. Also their CEO has said Toronto and Vancouver are underserved by their stores, so they're almost certainly looking at options in Toronto. What those options are though, idk.

I can't wait for the insane NIMBY excuses why nothing can be built here lol.

Sadly, I think we all know "THE RAINBOW LIGHTS ARE CORRUPTING THE CHILDREN" is coming in June 🙃 And while I hate the general corporatization of Pride, TD has been the main sponsor for years, so hopefully they'll keep those rainbow lights up.

I can't wait for this to be a "beloved community parking lot" (plz ignore the lack of actual parking) now that they want to build housing here 🤣

I was looking at the Star article about this and there was a comment that I think sums up the opposition: "why don't they just go to their friends' backyards instead?" And I don't think it was poorly intentioned, but it shows how a subset of people in Toronto don't realise how many people don't...
