This is really going to be a showstopper. It already has such a presence in person. Hope to see more curved developments in the city.

I always liked that alleyway and used to use it a lot to avoid Yonge St. Nice looking brick and lamps, or are they cameras..?

And one day a bland looking 64 storey condo will eventually block that alley and the Wellesley Tower. What a Bummer !!

Shame. It's been awhile since I've used it but always found it a nice little back-street.

Stunner. too bad this project does not include any development on Yonge street like 5St Joseph. Yonge and Wellesley needs some major clean up in every way. Not to mention it's unsafe too as it has become a nest for thugs.

It would be so cool if the city and property owners in this area could organize a laneway/mews system like in Melbourne. It would draw people in and generate a lot of revenue. However, they would need to encourage small and fine grained commercial, which seems to be contrary to how most projects in Toronto change the commercial realm (mostly larger footprint chains). The area west of Yonge south of Charles down to College could be designed like a above ground PATH system. The central spine could be St. Nicholas and St. Luke Lanes. Cut throughs between Yonge and this spine could be made at a couple mid-block points that would feature pocket parks. This is the ideal part of the city to shepherd something like this, but it will not be possible without vision, leadership and coordination. Opportunities for realizing such a vision are rapidly closing. It is hard to sell this because many people prefer clean looking aesthetics, worry about crime, and fire departments try to nix it because they can't get there trucks in there.

Sounds racist, but okay.

Nothing racist about saying that the city has do something about one of the most crime ridden intersections of Toronto

Ugh?..I don't think so, it will be to the left and away from that view
