Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

[Sir Novelty Fashion]

What I'd love to see is what we have already on Yonge somehow incorporated with towers stretching all the way along that stretch.

Smart thinking. This can easily be accomplished by building a large platform above the existing buildings, like a large shelf, upon which towers can be built.

^^ those photos really show how low-rise yonge street is.... re-development time! all yonge street must go!

Yeah, that's exactly what Toronto needs... more dead condo-lined streets.

Taking one of the most vibrant streets in town and turning it into Bay Street is not progress.

 

[Ramako]

Yonge Street could use some gentrification.

You make it sound so simple, but we wouldn't only need a shelf, we'd need a wall too. And I don't even want to think about the PICs held to discuss what kind of wallpaper should go up on it. Ay!

Oh man, the wife and I checked out "Underground Toronto" last year and it was a washout. Luckily, the "World of Our Compliments Cola" was nearby. We would've spent more time in your fine city, but we were just waiting for a connection to Raleigh-Durham.

I thought Toronto was more than just an Air Canada hub!

I think I saw this in a cartoon once too.

Don't forget that cable magnate named Ted.

Uh, okay, we are way off topic.

Here's the paper that I think we should hang on the wall that'll hold the shelf: enter pattern #WC1281772 where indicated at http://www.thewallpapercompany.com/main.aspx. I was thinking a nice nautical theme to recall our days as an important Great Lakes port would be nice.

Let the NIMBYism begin...

As if Toronto would ever construct an elevated expressway over a surface street bordered with highrise buildings on either side...oh wait. Nevermind.

^ The Berkeley Church, is that for real?

 

[DaninToronto]

So do the cars just drive off the end of the highway? I guess on and off ramps hadn't been thought of yet.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Where is that billboard current? Also, ws Ed asked, is this for real!!??
