Why is everything in Toronto overhead clutter and not undergroundLooks like there's going to be a second PATH bridge under the Gardiner, connecting to Union Station.
" And digging passages through the ground isn't exactly cheap these days.
These Toronto sign imitations are really getting overdone everywhere. Hamilton is doing it, the Rogers Cup had it this past summer, and now this one.Reminds me of the TORONTO sign at NPS.

The only difference is, I dont think people will be rushing to take photos next to this one.
Nope. It's more like the political will to spend is lacking. It hearkens back to Rob Ford's "respect for taxpayers" mantra - it goes back much further than that actually, but Ford Nation really capitalized on it. Seems a lot of us would like nice things but don't want to actually pay for them. Our politicians have taken note and prefer to be somewhat spineless when it comes to committing to big-picture transit infrastructure. We'd rather "study" it, over and over again. When it comes to the Shepherd line and the Scarborough subway, that's just plain old vote-buying at the hands of city politicians eager to get re-elected. Vote-buying, no matter how costly or inefficient the results, is just the status quo. The province is playing a similar game, for that matter.Yeah i get it, Toronto doesn't have the money for those nice things....just like LRT vs Subway
That's a shame. Though, it should make the remaining two towers stand out even more.Unfortunately according to the SPA Nov 2017 Architectural Plans, the project will be mainly window walls for Phase 1.
