Now there's something you don't see everyday. In this drone image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor hawc, two Toronto neighbourhoods, in this case King West on the left and Liberty Village on the right, appear to be stitched together with some giant lace trim...

…and sure, it could simply be that…

…or it might be the Strachan Avenue Underpass on Metrolinx's Kitchener line — just west of where it splits off from the Lakeshore West corridor — split into two trenched channels, each channel wide enough for four tracks, and both covered by a line of diagonally arranged struts that hold back the earth around the trench, and which also support the centre wall between the channels. It's practical (very Toronto) while also looking cool (feels a little foreign in that regard).
