    Toronto Toronto | 1930-1938 Bloor West | 62.31m | 17s | Old Stonehenge | Baron Nelson Architects

    I attended the community meeting on April 30th. The community was very against as, was Councilor Perks. One speaker was able to express support. I made my support known to Perks after. I live in the area and though I love it, the nimbyism here is so strong. The opposition from other...

    I'm very curious what the common pronunciation of Wonscotonach would settle on. This Global News article says its proper pronunciation is "waw-sco-taw-NAWSH". And this song backs that up, though the singing leaves pitch placement ambiguous when spoken. But my initial read of it as a native...

    The Waterfront TO rep mentioned that the island is 'temporarily known as Villiers Island". This is the first I've heard of that name not being permanent, did I miss something?

    It reminds me of a beard trimmer now.

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

    This sounds whack but it kind of reminds of teletubbies. The futurism combined with these perfectly manicured green "hills". I'm not sure I'll ever be able to unsee it.

    Toronto Toronto | Finch West LRT and TYSSE: Finch West Station | ?m | ?s | Mosiac TG | Arup

    Wait the T wasn't just a render placeholder? Why is Metrolinx trying to reinvent transit symbolism in the city? Is there gonna be an expensive brand-unifying with the TTC some years after this and the Crosstown open?

    Toronto Toronto | 260 High Park Avenue | 19.35m | 4s | Medallion Capital | Turner Fleischer

    Has all the work this year been hidden behind the church façade? It looks basically the same as it did in January.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Do you have any idea why the Crosstown project has been so bad when the west extension and the Finch LRT seem to be running so much more smoothly? The optimist in me wants to believe that this project represents an earlier generation of Metrolinx project and that maybe some kinks have been...

    Toronto Toronto | The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'm normally very cold on metal cladding because I think it can look like a very cheap way to make something look finished. But I cannot stop staring at the cladding on this project - something about it is just so satisfying.

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    Is anyone in the know on what the big developers think about the multiplex plan? How ready are they to leverage this if it passes?

    It's a heritage Sherwin Williams /s

    Listen, I love the ideas of beavers too. They are my favourite animal. My point was that beaver dams often are difficult to have near people because the beavers have no regard for what they flood. Thankfully the whole project is designed around flood plains but beavers could still end up...

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I found it funny that they proudly talked about a beaver moving into the area. I know they're cute but I would think beaver would be a perennial issue for the future groundskeepers of this area.

    Toronto Toronto | High Park Village | 113.95m | 35s | GWL | Arcadis

    Could you elaborate on what is left before this development actually breaks ground? I live right next to the development and have been eagerly waiting for it to start for years now. I am extremely uninformed about the development process but my instinct is to ask what more can stand in the way...
