"Clear cutting" is not what would happen. Nobody is going to send in bulldozers to the whole neighbourhood. It's about not legally restricting intensification near existing infrastructure, which would occur gradually/organically over time as the market would dictate. Most buildings would remain...
Something that jumped out to me from this article:
Has this idea been discussed in this thread? If not, any thoughts on where a potential suburban/midtown station might go in Toronto for HSR/HFR?
Soil and plants have been added to the planters on Roncesvalles. Benches have been installed as well-- the quality of the work is disappointing to say the least.
The ends are all cut unevenly and the screws are jutting up above the seating surface. The recycled plastic material kind of make...
To be honest I had this thought and I think there are actually ZERO parking conflicts. I did a scroll along King from Berkeley to Bathurst on google maps/streetview looking for this exact thing and only found 1 parking garage entrance at Toronto-Dominion centre.. and there is another entrance on...
The obvious answer is to just close King St to all cars from Bathurst to Berkeley. Pedestrians only with a separated streetcar ROW down the middle. There are plenty of alternative routes for cars nearby. Would be good for tourism and night life as well as transit reliability. It's a no-brainer...
Buddy read the article... He's not talking about cancelling the CNE. He's talking about using the space smarter so the other 50 weeks of the year the space is not going to waste.
The elevated road or number of lanes is not really the thing that cause traffic or a bad public realm experience. It's the ramps.
A wide boulevard with normal intersections would be vastly superior to the car sewer of on-ramps and turning lanes we have now.
No amount of public art of basketball...
This accounting fails to consider the value of the land that would be freed up as well as the property taxes that land would generate in perpetuity. Not to mention the massive improvement to the public realm we would gain. That's what you're paying for.
Quibbling over sunk costs on the big ugly...
Have there been any updates to the East Harbour Transit Hub design? Any docs/drawings released along with the other Ontario Line stations? Feel like it's been a while since we've seen anything on the station itself.
