Here is the bridge cross section 4.2m shared use path on the north side

In a world where businesses only ever seem to moan about losing parking, its refreshing to see an organization embrace the idea of urbanism. In my opinion, sports and urbanism go hand-in-hand. A dense crowd of people can be much more efficently moved through a dense areas with plenty of...

Arguably that would happen less when the rule is the standard, rather than the exception.

It is funny the amount of attention the scramble-removal is getting. I used to love them, but I find as a pedestrian I wait much longer just to go straight. Pedestrians often ignore them anyway and just go on the straight signal. The 104-104 one is the only one where pedestrian volumes warrant...

It looks like the new Encore homes are a new model we haven't seen yet - does anyone have an idea what they will look like?

My personal thoughts: I hope the west side of the building does a better job at interacting with the Fane Mews Pedestrian Street, especially if it will have commercial uses. The current rendering is underwhelming... Streetside really dropped the ball by not having ANY condo townhomes have front...

I loved the Neighbourhoods United people misapproriating a Jane Jacobs quote. Yes, Jane Jacobs opposed gentrification, but this meant not freezing neighbourhoods in time, rather allowing small scale intensification that is community driven. RS isn't perfect and needs to be refined, but one of...

Shoutout to Bloc 53 on this beautiful rowhouse project in Westmount!

It's incredible just how car-brained the media here is.

Interesting points. Considering ventilation would make designing for rowhomes difficult wrt placing kitchens and laundry. I always understood the side setback was for fire safety based on intuition, not sure if that's accurate. I know the fire code requires a flame proof wall between units which...

A 50 foot lot (common width in mature neighbourhoods) can be subdivided for 2 skinnies. With side setbacks requiring 4 feet on either side for wasted space, a development of 2 skinnies requires 16 feet or just less than one third of the total frontage to be useless. So essentially, each skinny...
