I obviously can't speak on the residential towers yet, but if you genuinely think the office tower looks "gross" then there's no pleasing you ever

I think the new design is absolutely DOPE. I don't know if they resolved the building separation issues, but if they did I hope to see this go up asap

I mean we literally have a counterfactual here in Waterfront Toronto. Despite certain oft-mentioned flaws (cough cough boring buildings cough cough), overall they're doing a DAMN good job of opening up the Waterfront lands and making them attractive and accessible to all. I'm not saying an...

the majority of Billy Bishop users fly to HFR destinations, though. And what's the problem with shifting a few longer-distance trips to Pearson? The GTAA does have long-term expansion plans, so capacity shouldn't really be a concern; plus, access by transit is set to improve immensely. A dynamic...

Like, I'd be more sympathetic to your argument if it wasn't TWO HUNDRED FLIPPING ACRES a stone's throw away from the heart of the city. The Portlands project is a good comparable, but even they had to contend with existing industrial activity that couldn't (and shouldn't) be ignored or shut down...

1. meh... it might be marginally greener, but air travel ain't exactly green either way. We're way better off investing in HFR and a hefty dose of R&D with the aim of decarbonizing the sector as a whole. 2. Calling it a tourist attraction is a pretty big stretch... no one goes out of their way...

the footprint of the airport is freaking huge it ought to be redeveloped as a waterfront destination and filled to the brim with dense, walkable development.

welcome to UT!

`you may not like it, but this is what peak built-form performance looks like

could you really see the stars that clearly? I was too young to remember the blackout too that’s kind of amazing (though I’m sure the blackout definitely wasn’t)

why is this?

Oh nice! intriguing design, would block the fugly Daniels building from certain angles, really liking it so fa-- BAD

hell i'd settle for bland... this is actively bad at least the render is honest

because VIA is pretty f*cking bad right now... your friends’ reactions are to a large extent appropriate. Ask those same friends how they’d feel about HFR. That’s my point. Unless you have a really odd group of friends, I’m guessing they wouldn’t bat an eye if you took GO to go somewhere in the...

From what I understand, freight rail has always been way more profitable than passenger rail, and has always been prioritized over it. So I doubt it.

Part of that is the fact that Canada is a huge, sparsely populated country. High-quality passenger rail is pretty much only economically viable in the Quebec City-Windsor region. If you live elsewhere, you’re likely never going to see anything above a minimal level of service. Unless Canada’s...

wait what? since when? I feel like this is one of those things rail advocates keep telling themselves so often that they’re sure it’s true... but there’s zero evidence to suggest it Like I’m sure improving inter-city rail probably isn’t the highest thing on most people’s priority list, but...

but that doesn’t apply to these new infill stations... something else is at play here, clearly.

this type of transfer is exactly what we should be building at East Harbour station (only w/ stairs going up instead of down). Do we have any indication something like this is planned?

that’s hot
