Can someone explain why there seems to be a streetcar track on Bathurst, but they are also looking for a dedicated bus lane next to the streetcar lane?

Not sure what you have against pigeons? Coffee shop and Yoga Studio should swap locations (I know it's only render). Outside tables could fill the corner where it abuts property to the north. The setback on Avenue is a terrific. Any chance that widened sidewalk could set a precedent for...

OLT approved minor variance at 14 stories + mechanical.

Amen.

Very strange. I would call their head office and ask for a response. You will get someone and at the very least ask when they will give you an update, or what they are waiting for.

I've been thinking about this project for some time. Anyone know how the sales at this project have been doing? It strikes me as a very ambitious project (expensive/high end) getting built during a precarious economy for condo housing. I know Slate had issues with their commercial business...

Any idea as to why they are digging so deep to build a sports field?

"Housing was considered here, but the idea was dismissed because of concerns with shadowing the park." - AB Thank goodness for that. The location of the proposed community centre couldn't be any closer or have any greater impact on the park being that it is directly adjacent and to the south...

I read the decision and have to wonder just how poorly the city presented their arguments. I walk by this site regularly and while I agree the site would be better served with residential (as opposed to the exiting car wash), IMO the density awarded here is very out of context. What I find...

Easy on the rhetoric, these McMansions (or whatever you want to call them) are 2,500 sq. ft. semis.

Would be good to understand the challenges behind re-establishing Old City Hall back to being the existing city hall.

Fair enough. Good to get different perspective and I know many here would agree with you. I don't. Nathan Phillips' City Hall was certainly architecturally significant when it opened and touted as a modern wonder, but not sure it's going to age well. 100 years from now Old City Hall will...

I may be wrong, but I don't think the judge is saying that the number of cyclists using these routes will decrease for safety reasons, but rather for convenience reasons.

Not everyone who wants to participate can make a single date/time so at minimum I think 2 would be in order. Also think the feedback from the community/primary users should have a major say in what goes in the building (like a pool, or 2 basketball courts, or 3 yoga/dance type studios). More...

A community rec centre in this locations sounds great to me. I think community consultation is very important and not sure if only one round would suffice. The $75million budget/cost sounds about right, but if someone could explain to me the difference between a city run centre Vs. something...

With so much remote work, I would think there is an opportunity to turn Old City Hall back into New City Hall. I know there is a fondness for Nathan Phillips Square and the existing City Hall, but imo the Old City Hall is iconic. That would certainly free up a large space (where the existing...

I hope these get designated. If KingSett or whoever eventually develops them, I think a good model is the restoration of the buildings on the west side of Yonge between Cumberland & Yorkville.

Looks decent to me. It's a funny area. The retail south of Lytton is busy with a lot of pedestrian traffic all the way south to Eglinton. North of Lytton, there is very little in the way of retail & pedestrian movement all the way to Lawrence. Height, setbacks, tiering to residential all...

I guess where I'm coming from is what is reasonable in terms of high rise? Just looking around the area (what's there and what's coming) I thought about 20 storeys made sense. That would be considered high rise. The proposal is for 40 and you said you support it. What if it was 60 storeys -...

Back on topic about 1414. My wife & I were driving past this development last week and we agreed just how industrial/uninviting/drab this looked for a new residential project. It doesn't fit in at all. Height/setbacks/forms are not the issue. We both just felt it was a dud. Back to off...
