    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I hope someone posts pics of the winning design afterwards as, unfortunately, I can't go. 😒

    Did they change it all to rock? I thought the north side was to be stepped rocks, but the new west beach would be sand.

    They have also already indicated they'll be changing the bridge design as no one liked how opaque it was before (the change rooms were on the bridge). I look forward to seeing the new renders.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    I hope a more local & interesting eatery ends up where Milestones was, but I realize that's unlikely. I didn't love Milestones, but I did love the view.

    Toronto Toronto | Artists' Alley | 121.91m | 39s | Lanterra | Hariri Pontarini

    But the first building dubbed a "skyscraper" in Toronto is only 15 stories. Who decides these things?

    Lilley specifically said "at the door" the tickets are $80. I'm sure there'll also be ways to get discounted or cheaper Therme tickets too once they're established. The point is - Therme's pricing isn't aimed for "elites", unless that's also Wonderland's core target, or the CN Tower's etc.

    Toronto Toronto | The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Yes, I know. 😢 But the above is not the first time I've said it or commented it (and others have done so too). Car culture is still too strong here. 😒

    Toronto Toronto | The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    I vote for that plus Kensington Market + pedestrian Sundays (every weekend) on Queen West.

    Toronto Toronto | 415 Yonge | 231m | 66s | Marwest | Kirkor Architects

    Doesn't seem like they're taking advantage of the north side for a potential restaurant patio. 😢

    A few interesting ideas came up at the Saturday city consultations that I thought I'd share to see what you all thought (if that's allowed): 1) Ontario Place as a whole - there are only 3 exits so having a dish wash & reuse program like Yorkdale used to have for all the food vendors so there'd...

    I am specifically attracted to the idea of the spa on the waterfront because it allows for a framed view of the lake (similar to how hot springs in Japan often take advantage of natural phenomena like the ocean or a river etc to give their clients something to peacefully contemplate while...

    Are there any more details on this school that someone can direct me to?

    See how ridiculous it sounds now though? Moving the OSC to OP means they're trying to squeeze a huge amount of programming into a small space, effectively under-valuing the programming that goes on there now and could in the future. It's not just about the building, but the content, too. As a...

    While I agree with that one line you pulled, I don't agree with the rest of the article's idea of moving the OSC to OP, mostly because I think OP should be showcasing ALL facets of Ontario, like art and heritage & culture too. There are 5 pods, which I think could each be curated by a different...

    Yes, on the Diamond & Schmitt pages they talk of it being inspired by the trillium with each petal different - one a water park, one a "wellness centre" (aka spa) and one a botanical garden.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    I agree, and moreover, Ontario Place is not just meant for the people of Toronto. How does a simple green space in Toronto appeal to someone from Windsor or London or Cobourg, etc? Is not Ontario Place for them too? Even if a non-Torontonian were into urban green spaces, High Park is larger than...

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

    I've used every type of gate at multiple stations. Maybe I just walk faster than you.
