I certainly Prefer the removal idea, I did a project in my final year of landscape design as a brain teaser more or less. My plan was aimed at the central downtown area, the building on the right is the ACC. Thought it was funny how similar the proposals section drawings were to my own, done...

I know she can't just walk in slap the construction crew out of the way chuck a concept plan for a park on the table and demand it be done. What she can do though is give some serious traction to the people she represents in stopping this atrocity.

Are you saying High Park is of no significant value to Bloor west village? Hyde park to London, Central park in New York, Millennium park in Chicago? It should be preserved as a parade grounds and public fair space. it's not going to help the already waining CNE which is...

I must comment on the proposed landscaping. It seems to me by shoving bits and pieces done in good taste in other locations, that they should add up to something decent here as well. Water jets from Dundas square, water features not unlike the Sherbourne commons, concrete patterns from the high...

This is an awful idea. how the heck did this get approved? the building is mundane, creativity that equates to a 5 year old stacking wooden blocks, without the originality of the toddlers chaotically short attention span. It also kills a portion of a classic bit of Toronto skyline, not to...

Casino is just bad idea all around, This city has some class right now "SOME" being the primary word here, a casino is anything but classy, assuming this isn't going to be a Monaco style casino only for millionaires. This city is based on high quality family and middle income living with low...

great links Thanks for the great informative links!

Having had a family membership for more than a decade and a half, I can safely say that I've spoken to more FORMER members since its renovation than a I have new members. on a personal note the crystal is still hideous, and on a a practical one, due to its natural lighting excludes an awful lot...

Sadly the ROM, is a shadow of its former self, and the science center is taking a nose dive except for its landscaping.

Pretty cool renders

Well in truth the logistics of putting a road underground in that part of town can be rather tricky, you see all the land there is infill and can be unstable not to mention seriously permeable. with the lake right there it just about triples the price of the build with all the extra...

Personally I've been to against the grain three times, during super busy hours on a Saturday afternoon with full sun and cool breeze, and during hours of half the house an closing times. I have always received good service although a little on the slow side, the wait staff can't be blamed for...

Theres a brilliant woodland trail very bike friendly, that runs from Moore Ave south east through one of the tributary ravines. if you start from st.clair station you go east to Mt.pleasant then 3 blocks north and continue east. you will soon find yourself with Mtpleasant cemetary on your left...

I have to point out emediatly that scheduling busses to coem at intervals is the most useless and impossible thing ever. I live righ by Eglinton theres 5 different busses that go right by my stop they all show up in teh same friggin minute and half period and then you are screwed for another ten...

in response to my own post I am sorry for any excessively crass or politically agressive preachy language. I love these develoments myself and classes of other design students both landscape and urban planning, integrated landscape planners have visited numerous times and love that for the...

This is great info! lists and straight facts! any chacne theres a way to get a list of whats left to be done and how much we the tax payers are looking at it costing? On another note entirely just for the forum in general I have to say that there was a time the jays were winning pennants...

HAHA exactly what I was going to say, Ive heard of dogs being trained to chase those peky pooping machines off of areas, I think one dedicated doggy and a handler, that doubles as a general grounds keeper, would not only be good for keeping geese away, but might also become a staple of the park...

Huzzah! agreed

I think Tewder has it right on most of the things he said. What I agree with the most though is that we tend to just sit back and accept what we get here in toronto. This forum gives me some hope because obviously some people care about whats going on in this city. Ive been trying to pay close...

No I havent read that, it looks interesting and I'll have to take it out of the library some time. In your first response I didnt actually see this link, possibly didnt load on the page for some reason. Why would I be headed for a ban my responses are good natured.
