I'm glad they are planning to retain some of the existing buildings, but I'm a bit surprised that they've chosen that particular residential building. In my mind, the H-shaped 4 story buildings with green entranceways are what Regent is known for. Those footprints are especially iconic. I would...

Meh, it's extremely well-used and well-liked though. The only grit I'd complain about is the dust accumulation on the basketball courts due to the absence of rainwater flushing them out. I can't speak to the conditions of the children's play area though. The best part of the Underpass Park...

Perhaps the cube house could be incorporated into this parkette? Let the novelty be experienced by all. Really the only thing I dislike about this proposal is the name “Artsplace” in how similar it is to Artscape.

I live on this stretch of Dundas. Prior to the bike lanes being installed there was significant problem with speeding and running lights. Drivers treat Dundas between Parliament and Broadview like a DVP on-ramp. I've had three close calls as a pedestrian nearly getting hit in the crosswalks...

There's the non-trivial issue of that bridge terminating at grade with the southbound DVP lanes. I would like to see some interesting repurposing of that bridge though, even if it isn't practical as a crossing point.

I have a hard time believing congestion within the harbour is any more than a minor nuisance to some, or isn't a solvable problem if it were to become one. And we should be giving preference to public vessels rather than to private pleasure crafts. As for who would use a bridge or ferry to the...

One gets a sense that this announcement of nothing substantial is merely a counter offensive against growing calls to implement planning protections for the First Parliament site.

While I still can't believe there's a case being made for a station at High Tech Road, I am somewhat amused that it's location mirrors the "desire path" of the early 2000's when I worked at that Home Depot and regularly cut through the fences there to get across to the bus terminal. This was...

My initial thoughts were similar to yours. However the more I looked at the diagrams, it became apparent to me that the design intention was to minimize cyclist-pedestrian crossings in that stretch. Assuming the majority of east-west foot traffic is on the south side of the Parliament and Mill...

I wonder if reducing the number of stations may include combining Langstaff and Richmond Hill Centre into a single node, as is kind of already being done with RH GO platform and bus terminal. Sure it would be one of the lengthier stations in the system, but I don't think it's completely beyond...

Just discovered this post and that house on Shaw was the first thing that sprang to mind.

Home Depot experimented with staying open 24 hours because most stores used to already have a sizeable overnight staff receiving merchandise and packing it out onto shelves. They figured overnight customers wouldn't be looking for much in terms of customer service, just a cashier mainly. In the...

I didn't think this was very smart: http://www.blogto.com/people/2009/07/toronto_through_the_eyes_of_adam_vaughan/

He spoke at a university event earlier this year where he told us he had not attended post secondary school. As for the streetcar thing, I heard him on CBC making those statements but they were in response to Toronto awarding Bombardier the bid without consulting the province in regards to...

This is a great point. The overcrowding argument seems like a boogeyman tactic to lobby for projects in other areas of Toronto.
