Having seen these shots of the downtown core and lakefront, this would be an incredible place for some kind of observation tower. Absolutely beautiful views! Are there any plans for one?

I know it's silly and makes little financial sense, but I would love a second observation tower in Toronto.

Hey, New York has, what, 4 now and another one coming? Why can't Toronto have 2?

Isn't this area in the flightpath for the airport? Hence nothing too tall.

If you make your pleas loud enough, I am sure the Premier would be happy to build a very large ferris wheel.

It would be great just to have more observation levels in local skyscrapers. The view from the Manulife Centre is quite the draw to the One Eighty, for instance.

It's a shame the cement plant on Polson Pier isn't relocating. Seems like a bad idea to have bulk carrier ships docking in the new re-naturalized mouth of the Don.

I think it will go, sooner or later, as the area south of it (which is quite industrial) changes
