    Yonge Street Revitalization (Downtown Yonge BIA/City of Toronto)

    i think yonge st is way too small for 2 way and it would be better off making it into a 1 way and have one lane for bikes or something. :cool:

    Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A

    another high class tower that doesn't want to show off it's logo, but I don't blame them because I wouldn't want my logo caught in Toronto's skyline. It's not nice like NYC or Chicago's. :cool:

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    I think people should compare Trump to all the large crapy buildings in Toronto and then judge because Toronto doesn't have a lot of nice buildings like in Chicago or New York. Everyone commenting negatively on Trump Toronto think they live in New York or something. :cool:

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    trump toronto is proof that people do whats popular rather than whats right. I always do what i think is right. If trump is an embarrassment to the city than 99% of all the buildings in toronto are an embarrassment. :cool:

    Toronto St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    why is the trump tower a 4 star??? who ever gave this a 4 star on urbantoronto.ca is going to look like a idiot later especially when so many other crappy buildings are rated 5 star and Trump is going to one of the best buildings in the city. Not that i like it. :cool:

    OLG Toronto/GTA casino proposal (where to put it?)

    I think a casino in Toronto would be great for the city and Ontario because all the people playing on Pokerstars.com and other sites would pump the money directly into the province when they play at the casino instead of playing online. Plus a casino would create jobs which would pump even more...

    Metrolinx: Sheppard East LRT (In Design)

    building LRT along sheppard instead of an extended subway would be stupid. Traveling along a 4 stop subway line and then transferring to a 4-5 stop LRT is a waste of time and would create a bottle neck. the cost to the economy, tax payers, would be more if the LRT was built

    Transit City Plan

    the cost of having LRTs instead of subways is big. first of all the economic costs would be due to gridlock of increased traffic because of the LRTs. the maintenance costs of LRTs is more expensive due to erosion of the track because of weather. the cost of subways is cheaper in the long run...

    Transit City Plan

    I was against subways before because they were too expensive but now that know that they are cheaper in the long run, subways are the best bet. If the tax payers want subways, and if they are willing to pay for them, and if they are cheaper in the long run, then the answer is simple...subways...

    Height Restrictions in Toronto

    if these rules don't get changed then toronto will always be dull and boring. tall buildings make cities exciting and cool and help make cities money through tourism. Tall buildings help draw tourism to chicago and new york and could help toronto one day as well. I hope the toronto haters at...

    Toronto Ten York Street Condos | 224.02m | 65s | Tridel | Wallman Architects

    :DI'm shocked by all the propossals, 1 york, 10 york, the two towers near the Ritz, the tower near Queen and Youge st., if all these buildings get built then the comparisons between toronto and new york wouldn't be so much of a joke...lol

    Toronto Burano | ?m | 48s | Lanterra | a—A

    Are you kidding, because that building is one of the ugliest building i have ever seen?? The bottom part isn't that bad but the top part, it's short and boring, and makes me want to shoot myself in the head every time I see that building. What a eye sore. I crapped nicer piles of crap than...

    Toronto Burano | ?m | 48s | Lanterra | a—A

    I'm not really ashamed, its just when I see Toronto's skyline in a B movie or other places I feel embarrassed. But afterwards I really don't care about Toronto's skyline, I know what it is and it's not going to change anytime soon so why should I feel bad about it. And about that question, who...

    Toronto Burano | ?m | 48s | Lanterra | a—A

    I don't want to disrespect you but all the films that were shot in Toronto had Toronto disguised as another city. And when Toronto's skyline was shown in a B movie, I was so embarrassed to see how ugly the city looked. I don't hate the city, its just that people need to know that Toronto's...
