Here you go then!

This is looking good to me - excited to see the next phase renders. Here's an idea; keep the roof as is, but cover the inside of the smaller 'pieces' on north and south ends in a massive screen displaying the sky, and do the same with the hotel and most of the north wall. You get your city...

Thanks - yeah I'm aware of the current plans but seeing St Clair in the distance in that picture (and imagining the stunning buildings going up at that intersection that would be visible in the future when looking up Yonge) got me fantasizing about a smaller-scale version of La Rambla going from...

Man, that second pic looking up Yonge from Dundas really drives home how much the feel of this city would change if the street were fully pedestrianized - especially with all the new proposals (like this one https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/646-664-yonge-ks-646-yonge-75s-as-gg.34764/) that...

This stretch could really use wider sidewalks and some more retail. I've always felt that Avenue between Davenport and St. Clair has the bones to be a really great commercial strip.

Ah, thank you for clarifying - and sorry for not crediting where I got it from!

Agreed - and I would add stretches of Dufferin, Bathurst, Pape, Donlands, etc as north/south streets that need higher-density residential development with more streetfront retail.

I dream of seeing the AGO acquire all of the victorians across the street and building a structure over top of them — while maintaining the houses in their entirety —that mirrors/compliments Ghery's Galleria Italia with a bridge over Dundas connecting the two structures.

Looks great in the renderings and reminds me a lot of 55 Yonge

He bought the empty lot next door, but does he own the Strat's building itself? I don't remember hearing about that, though I think many expected it to happen.

I won't consider it done until the piano is in place.

Pixar's 'Turning Red' - due to be released in the Spring of 2022 - is set in Toronto.

Love the look and scale of it. Also, it seems to play off of this beauty directly across the street: (from Google Maps)

One of my favourite trees - there are a few really gorgeous ones in the south end of Kew Gardens, just north of the lawn bowling courts. I just had a few dozen seeds shipped in from BC as an anniversary present and hope to grow a few in pots before planting them outside.

I'm obsessed with the thought of this tree canopy being the norm on every single street that doesn't already have one

Heartbreaking news. He will be missed.

Very happy with the look of this - especially the retail element. Could be a game-changer in so many parts of the city.

Ugh, green leaves for the tree? Again? Really?

Thanks for the great pictures. Hard for me to look at these without imagining a fully completed Rail Deck Park in the foreground and then pretend that it stretches all the way to the DVP with a lovely pair of pedestrian bridges going over the Union Station train shed.
