    Some renderings I made

    This is a building I imagined for the parking lot on Bay st just below Union Stn. https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/43.644165,-79.3776047/43.6441797,-79.3775844/@43.6436055,-79.3781418,389m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m3!4m2!1m0!1m0?hl=en Pay no mind to the fact that the sunset is opposite from where it should...

    A YUS Idea

    When the Younge subway extension to Richmondhill is finished, not all trains will terminate at Richmondhill, instead about half of the trains will actually stop at Finch an simply turn around. My idea is instead of turning around at finch the line should instead split, with a new line going...

    Should cities start blocking urban sprawl?

    I've seen scattered discussions about this, but no specific threads, so here it goes: Everybody hates urban sprawl, there are little to no advantages of it, but it exists because for some reason there is a demand for houses in the middle of nowhere. Cities can easily stop urban sprawl, but...

    Greater Toronto Area - GTA

    I want to ask of those who know, what exactly is the Greater Toronto Area(GTA)? I don't mean what municipalities make up the GTA, what I mean is; is it anything more than just a name given to this collection of municipalities, or does it mean that the city of Toronto has some sort of a governing...

    OpenStreetMap: Hey let's map this place!

    I present to you, the greatest thing invented since Wikipedia: OpenStreetMap I'm sure you're all familiar with Wikipedia and how it works. This is basically the same thing, but with the world map. Go on, edit it, add stuff, ect. Most of the world is pretty empty, the developed world including...

    Should the Toronto Islands be kept as-is?

    Just today I began to think about the advantages of building over the Toronto Island Park. I know that the first opposition to this (the same thing I used to think) is that why get rid of a beautiful park that's surrounded by water and is so close to the core? But let's be honest here, not...

    Streetview comes to Canada!

    I am happy to announce that Google finally brought street view to Canada! "But wait!" you might ask, wasn't street view in Canada for a while now? Well, yes, but only partially. Today when I went to look at the more isolated parts surrounding Toronto on Google maps, I was surprised to see that...

    Suddenly...Windmills! Millions of them!

    I was watching a video of the Gardiner (this one) and noticed the windmill that stands at the exhibition place. This got me thinking, wouldn't it be pretty great if Toronto had a bunch more of these scattered around? The reason is that as I see it, windmills are the ultimate symbol of clean...

    Need a new rule

    Every time somebody posts a new thread about a development, they should have to include pictures on the first page. They could either add them right away, or edit their posts a little later. I'm tired of having to search the thread for pictures of what I'm reading about. It's a common sense...

    George Carlin on NIMBYs

    I'm surprised I hadn't seen this before, just stumbled upon it. You'd be hard pressed to find a UTer who wouldn't enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSRCjG-VLk&feature=related

    Sattelite view of Google Earth/Maps updated

    I've been lurking on these forums for a while and decided to finally register to post this: For those of you who've used Google satellite view in the past probably know that the images there are grossly outdated (by several years) and generally ugly because they were taken in the fall. Well...
