Quite maddening that bus lanes have not been implemented on lake shore outside of the terminal. I guess the tricky part is being so close to the right turn onto Bay, there would have to be a right turn ban onto Bay to actually increase flow here. That and a continuation of the bus lane onto the...

If the BC NDP is willing to move towards involuntary treatment I think its safe to say the social acceptance of a more strict approach to mental health & homelessness is increasing in this country. Also, if @Northern Light is right in their estimate of 200-300 people consistently using the TTC...

I appreciate that the cost of mitigation here is extremely high and there is no will or a real need to convert the recreational space here into housing. My inquiry was more aimed at the land along Jane which sits at a higher elevation but still allows close proximity to the future station (in...

I can't help but notice Dialog's Toronto studio seems to be a bar below the design work done at their Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver studios. Not trying to offend anyone working there as I know design output is more dependant on the individual taste and preference of principals than the...

West Rossdale is being proposed as a new mixed-use community in the floodplain https://www.edmonton.ca/projects_plans/communities_neighbourhoods/west-rossdale-river-crossing

My thinking is: the land is owned by the city already and would be a good opportunity to create affordable housing through CreateTO. I'm not advocating for developing all of the land here, just creating some parcels along the higher elevation sections of Jane would be a net positive for...

I'm just saying there are serious people (certain MPPs) proposing more absurd things here like burying the line through the flats

There have been some improvements made but not as extreme as those done in Calgary. There is a public realm project in the works to enhance pedestrian access to the river valley in Edmonton and construct flood mitigation measures at the same time. With regards to Eglinton flats, there could...

Calgary and Edmonton both have significant residential neighbourhoods on floodplains, in the case of Calgary the entire downtown core and surrounding neighbourhoods are on a floodplain yet engineering work has been done to mitigate risk in those communities. Why can't the same be done here and...

I wonder if the HAF funds might give this site a boost?

The Mayor's recent announcment seems to indicate they are looking at doing exactly that. Although I am not sure if many of the Green P lots directly on top of the Line 2 tracks are easy to build on. I would think that there needs to be some expensive underpinning and structural reinforcement...

I think the bridge is entirely temporary. The plans revealed so far indicate the station will have a kind of passenger concourse located above the tracks. I don't see how they would incorporate this bridge into that structure.

lets pray concord is just doing a rezoning play on that one

Good to see more units in proximity to high park but what an inefficiecnt use of space. I lived in a few buildings like this in Edmonton and I can guarantee that nobody will be using that "backyard" space. God forbid we have efficient land use.

Are there any planned land use changes for eglinton flats? It seems absolutely absurd to have 2 grade separated stations next to tennis courts and soccer pitches.

Vancouver's new H&deM designed art gallery is I believe 1/3 funded by donation. Whatever gets built here there will probably be a federal and provincial contribution to top it off. Personally, I think a museum of the great lakes would be interesting. Different than the one in Kingston and more...

Are there street-level renderings for this project anywhere? I know they exist for previous designs but I can't seem to find any of the current design's interaction with the street.

I assume this is going to look at Green P lots along line 1 and 2? I wonder if it is even technically feasible to build anything on the lots directly above the line. Wouldn't this require expensive underpinning and structural reinforcement?

If this restoration includes scope for landscaping improvements, there is a huge opportunity to batch them with the University Park proposal
