I thought the peak population was 775,000, though I could be mistaken.. It's getting harder and harder to find current or historical population figures for the pre-amalgamated cities.

I agree, I have to admit I love the tower portion. It has a sophisticated feel to it, yet it doesn't seem pretentious. I like it a lot more that 1 Bloor. I really appreciate the pattern on the lower half of the building and how it steps to the east. I also like the roof element, and the fact...

Let's see them try with no new road road capacity into the city. As transit improves in the 416 I see many dense urban, liveable, family oriented neighbourhoods popping up in North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough. I do not see Toronto of all cities, experiencing another run to the suburbs. Has...

I think the cost of burying wires on St. Clair, really contributed to them not burying the wires on Roncy and now we're seeing the same thing on Eglinton. I just hope that if they do decide to do it, that they don't wait until the last minute and end up delaying the opening of the line because...

I'm surprised by how many of you are against this. Council did the right thing.

I hope everyone is okay, and I really hope this does not mean more delays.

I'm not proposing that all intersections be elevated rather some, and it's just a theoretical suggestion. Another suggestion would be to cut and cover under major intersections, however with true signal priority I doubt these features would even be needed. However, the unfortunate situation in...

Agreed 100%...GO as well as the DRL.

Very interesting, thank you for that!

I'm not saying Nimbyism doesn't exist. Especially in the case of the above, the politician is speaking on a subject to which they clearly have no knowledge. It's hard to understand why people would be against things that would profit them through increases in land value. But I feel like many use...

^^ Nimby is an overused term on this website to dismiss the opinion of others. We all live in Toronto, we all want the best thing for our city. I do not live on Eglinton in Scarborough. Do you really think the area is going to be sprawling forever? The question we all need to ask ourselves is...

The more I think about Eglinton East and it's built form the more I actually prefer the on street option. At least from an urban design perspective. Remember that the corridor is wide. The line doesn't have to operate in the median, and it can still have simple yet effective stations with a...

A lot of you say you wouldn't want Elevated lines above streets. And I understand that, looking at Chicago and NYC.. But there must be a aesthetically pleasing way to do elevated transit without blocking out the sunlight to the street below all day for the entire route. We're in the process of...

I really hope they do end up doing it elevated. And hopefully they can do it in a way that doesn't leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Maybe something like this? In any case, I think the biggest concern with Eglinton being elevated is road capacity... Would they still narrow the...

^^ If we cannot get all these built it will due to lack of will as opposed to lack of capability.

I think all areas will see strong growth, but in the future I can't see the 905 outpacing the 416. And I don't think it would be good for the city either. The 416 will become increasingly popular due to the 150km+ being added to our rapid transit network, but the extent of it's success depends...

Thank you! We can be sure of nothing in this life. However, I believe the quality of life in Canada will rise far above the United States due to prosperity in the energy sector. I predict that the purchasing power of our dollar as well as a shortage of a labour will contribute...

I think Chicago and Toronto are very similar in nature. Very similar. But they are at different points in their history. Toronto is a young city that is at it's peak population currently and still booming. Chicago's peak population is 3.8 million, while it currently sits at 2.7. This explains...

Which wouldn't really make any sense since you could easily take the subway from Eglinton W to Lawrence W to catch the 63 anyways. I'm not sure if most people realize that almost 50% of 63's during rush don't even get north of St Clair.

The link that you've posted could very well have the same design as some of the townhomes in the massing, but that would be an unfortunate situation considering their front lawn parking, non existent sidewalk space and what looks like aluminum siding at the top of the front face. The last time...
