    Toronto Eaton Centre

    I know Eaton Centre isn't Yorkdale but this seems a bit too gaudy, certainly too bright for the typical storefronts at TEC. Hopefully they can turn it down a notch. Maybe it's competing with Levis next door.

    Public Realm Maintenance

    This is just the most entitled hypocritical display of why people dislike the police. The age old question remains: if the police police us, who polices the police? If police cruisers and their civilian vehicles were ever to occupy the plaza again, I’d be tempted to park there. “Nobody has...

    The removable bollards are being installed.

    Good way to bring some activity to the outside the bunker but I hope this is just the beginning. It doesn't fit with the rest. I wouldn't mind if the SkyDome went dark all the way around.

    2026 Toronto Mayoral Race

    I don't know but the "Ford" in this photo really needs to embrace that he's a Stirpe and simply stop pretending that he's a Ford.

    Public Realm Maintenance

    Right but this appears to be something new. It's a blur now but I recall there being a public consultation on a new plaza. It was before the pandemic so it's kind of lost in the last two decades that have passed in the last 6 years.

    Does anyone have any info on this project handy? I'm glad to see something is being done, I was tired of complaining about police using it for their parking because they were too lazy to park in the available spaces out back. Seems like this will settle it. Are those tree wells?

    Toronto Toronto | St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Keeping up with tradition for St.Lawrence Market North on a late start but by those standards, starting 2 years late is absolutely early in this context. Thanks for the pics :)

    My hope is that this new corridor could (in the future) become the place for a feature canopy. Any canopy isn't visible from Front Street where the beaux-arts building is the feature. So any canopy would be visible from Union Plaza on the south side. Imagine something like this from Calatrava...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Not really. It often takes me longer to take the Porter shuttle bus from Royal York Hotel that has to drive through Toronto traffic to Eireann Quay than it takes me to take UP Express and arrive at Pearson International 25 minutes later. I timed both in the last few months at roughly the same...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Exactly this. When Porter at Centre Island Airport was new, it was virtually all business travellers, walking through security involved being waived through one of two metal detectors and you were in the terminal with free cookies and drinks (remember those??) on the other side. A decade later...

    Toronto Toronto | The United BLDG | 184.85m | 54s | Davpart | B+H

    We have windows folks, windows! I've also noticed that vertical support poles have been removed for most of the floors. Still some left in the lower 3 levels. Over at the base, concrete forming has been done, and metal framing is being added in the centre, awaiting glazing along the...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Osgoode Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Work has started on the ventilation shaft. Tunnelling is proceeding under University Avenue to connect the new station entrance on the east side of University to the stairs on the west side. It'll be a wider corridor than the one that is there now. I thought this would be cut and cover but...

    Toronto BMO Field Renovations (FIFA26) | MLSE | Gensler

    The messaging there was that it was an intentionally temporary stadium that somehow manages to look more put together than our permanent embarrassment.

    2026 Toronto Mayoral Race

    Michael Ford and Brad Bradford met at the Sheraton across from City Hall in a public place, certainly knowing that they would be seen. What are they plotting? Michael Ford runs clearing the field from other conservatives and raising media attention in what will otherwise be a boring election...
