Funny how backyard overlook is considered a mortal sin, but throwing 500 units windows directly in front of hundreds of residents only personal outdoor spaces fails to even register as a concern. Protections for one group not applied to another, the Toronto Way.

Absolutely agree, this would be..... fine on a neighborhood street in north Etobicoke or eastern Scarborough but is laughably micro scaled for where its going to be built. Would not be shocked if these owners get bought out within ten years of occupancy and something substantial built here due...

Four years later and who knows how many increases in cost, we get a 9m reduction in a building no where near anyone's backyard. Obscene system of governance. Markland Woods should take any injection of life it can get, this has got to be one of the dullest and most uninteresting neighborhoods in...

Do you think that at any point Mississauga will officially acknowledge this mistake and shift to Port Credit or is the sunk cost already too great? The greater potential to irritate very wealthy residents seems like something even a progressive (cough cough likely Tedjo in a few years) would...

Exactly, Port Credit really should be massive by this point seeing as it is in the best transportation situation out of all the 905 old towns.

Highway free, direct rail link to downtown Toronto, urban street grid and a rapidly growing population? Downtown Brampton may soon surpass the atrocity known as 'Downtown Mississauga'. If dev keeps going and Brampton keeps making smart choices in regards to Brampton Transit it could become the...

I completely understand the CoA decision to reject this ridiculous variance application. There is simply no precedent anywhere NEAR this site for a four story building! Pic Unrealted

Could have been a whole new node for New Toronto had they mirrored the height of the 90's co-op already there and thrown in some retail/ But no, copy paste townhouses

Calling that empty field a park is generous at best. Spent a beautiful afternoon in Berczy Park on a patio last Sunday, wondering why we can't seem to replicate such an amazing urban park anywhere else in the city.

Yep, causes a great deal of slowdowns for cars on Bloor and is a constant danger to cyclists coming down the hill at some speed as cars can pull out basically anywhere on that block.

Incredibly funny that house between Keele station and the current strip mall will continued to be marooned lmao

I agree, very good bones of the old village remain but Dundas Street itself holds the area back a great deal. Very loud and fast it deadens the otherwise nice retail strip. Considering the amount of off street parking being constructed a removal of parking lanes on Dundas for cycle tracks and a...

Seems very ok, not doing too much of anything. Is that parking lot to the south of the site old city owned land from the Scarb Expressway plans?

Unfortunately it does seem to be going that way, but other areas with like South Parkdale have managed to hold on for quite some time despite intensive gentrification. Any house south of Queen is $1.5 mil+ but the majority of residents are seemingly holding onto their apartments.

Yep, with so much new rapid transit being built getting vacancy decontrol repealed would do a lot to keep diverse and affordable neighbourhoods as they are, while enjoying the new infrastructure

Shocking that they are sticking with a (barely altered) proposal from three years ago, while seemingly every other major proposal has been bumped up in density one, two, three etc times since then. Just a complacent, uninterested crown corporation content to do not much of anything. Between the...

@Northern Light would you say this rejection is an outlier in what we would expect in 2024 and going forward?

The Lakeshore West line, and if it can't be considered true rapid transit today it absolutely will be within the decade.

*Grade separated* is the very important element that in my opinion disqualifies the HU LRT from being rapid transit as with the exception of the 403 flyover, the tunnel into port credit and the future tunnel into brampton it runs at grade. Time is everything and even the most optimistic run...

Quite the conspiracy, anything else for us? Maybe some thoughts on flying orbs or lizard people in the centre of the earth?
