not at all what I was saying... my comment was mainly in reply to US who (by reputation as well as the previous comment) implies that this design is not part of his vision for Toronto, so I ended up turning the tables on that equation, saying that the design is too good for (his) Toronto.
in regards to the amount of greenery and WTO's vision... I am a huge fan of what they have done so far and have proposed moving eastward here. I'm just skeptical about whether Toronto is able to execute such a vibrant street level in reality. I guess I have to admit that my skepticism is based mostly on work of other entities since we have yet to see WTO execute "neighbourhood streets". Even with the best of intentions we know it is a challenge to grow mature trees in urban streetscapes in this city. I love their vision... but my fear is that somehow the finished product wont be so "cozy" and attractive. I certainly hope I am wrong.
