Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

From a walk I took around the site.

Posted it too late for the survey though. I guess we'll get what we get! Haha

Good to see that they'll finally be able to build a City Hall for Etobicoke!

For the Six Points Parks survey, I suggested that Gazebos with seating, would be a good fit at each park to provide shade and places of gathering.

Smaller parks with small Gazebos and larger parks with large Gazebos.

We will see what happens...

And we need a substantial playground and wading pool. There's a real dearth of both in Etobicoke...

Per usual, the city really went overboard with the parkland dedication. Every residential block is set to have a large interior courtyard, and yet a very high percentage of reclaimed land from the interchange will still be functionally empty. Parkland is nice but we are trying to build a city not a new batch of the greenbelt. IMO the city driven new devs tend to feel very empty/dead due to the very high portion of open space (Corktown), never mind the fact more affordable units could have been built. People love the old city because of the continuous street walls and busy urban neighbourhoods.

The planters are really coming in nicely this year.

Just make sure there's only 4 per planter...there's a legislated limit after all!
