    Toronto Toronto | 23 Toronto Street | 299.04m | 91s | Goband Investment | SvN

    Looked better with balconies to be honest

    Toronto Bike Share

    The documents linked a few comments up mentions that they’ll start Phase 1 of Bike Angels in the first half of 2027! So still a lot of waiting to do

    Toronto Bike Share

    From my understanding they’re going to bring over the smaller baskets from the current e-bikes. So we won’t be getting the larger basket at all

    Toronto Bike Share

    The 2026 Bike Share Operating Plan (PDF) gives us our first look at the new e-bikes coming this year, unfortunately the document says they're bringing the "smaller baskets" from the old e-bikes to deter tandem riding. Absolutely ridiculous that we can't even fit a gym bag into these baskets just...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Not to be pedantic but I’m pretty sure this render actually shows the TMD will be exposed but it won’t be as obvious as we think it’ll be. I wish it was fully enclosed with decorative crown and lighting though.

    I’ve always wondered why we needed such complicated ramps. The buses in Hong Kong just does a simple 180 flip that the operator opens and closes.

    Toronto Toronto | 55 Yonge | 232.86m | 68s | H&R REIT | PARTISANS

    I mean, ask Dream and Mizrahi how it’s going. For the record, I very much wish beautiful buildings/spaces were valued more in our country.

    Toronto Toronto | AGO: Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery | 48.35m | 6s | AGO | Selldorf

    Pretty sure all the PoMo elements were removed in the Gehry expansion, they were mostly on the Dundas side. I saw pics of it at a TSO trivia-night and it was really quite an…. Interesting sight to behold

    Toronto Toronto | AGO: Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery | 48.35m | 6s | AGO | Selldorf

    I’ve been struggling for half an hour now to find all the facades the AGO has gone through, I can’t believe how hard it is! After the 1918 Beax Arts building, there was a brutalist expansion in 1973 by John C Perkins, then there was a post-modern renovation in 1993 by Barton Myers, until...

    The Well (retail)

    They’ll have one a block north of The Well at King and Brant. Far enough to not really be competition for The Well, close enough that they wouldn’t open another location there

    Four intersections in that stretch that will be replaced with outdated switches (I assume)?

    Toronto Toronto | Ookwemin Minising | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    It’s also super silly to require the extra high barriers. Can the city stop treating us like children? The original design was was much more elegant. Not to mention the accent lighting has no doubt been removed

    I think emergency vehicles have a special IR light that flashes at the intersection, I also assume dispatch can do something to clear routes.

    Video of the upgraded programming for the north-bound lights at Spadina and King. This intersection used to prioritize the Left turns but now the traffic and transit going straight proceeds first.

    Toronto Toronto | East Harbour GO & Ontario Line Station | 14.35m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    It’s a pretty obvious gradient to me: something functional and spectacular > something functional > something spectacular > nothing at all. But I also think we tend to underestimate the intangible effects of beautiful spaces and thoughtful design. I definitely believe our whole society would be...
