Thanks for the picture update! I am a little bit obsessed wit this project, and am hopeful to to see what retail it attracts. Seeing this take shape on the space of the old plaza really shows how much can fit into a vacuous suburban spots like a plaza. I think this could be a model for how to do...

If memory serves me correctly, the first floor is about eight feet higher than street level. This may be cause enough to demolish.

Wow this project went so poorly! its incredibly hideous and a HUGE missed opportunity. If I had bought one of those townhouses across the park I would be so mad.

Ok. Can you please show us an example where this has worked?

That means its $5 for a two zone (Newmarket/ Aurora to Finch). thats B.S - I think we need to set up an encampment somewhere in Toronto for all the people who have been trying to walk places and take transit in York Region. their government is trying to exterminate them and we need to give them...

that last one is actually the most horrendous, with five stories of blank wall and false windows, hiding a parking garage I presume? the density is great, but I cannot believe the rest. walking around in a city made up entirely of this type of building would be terrifying.

I would say outdoor space in an urban setting is at more or a premium than parking. this is why: If you want, you can buy an on street parking spot for peanuts from the city. You cant do the same with privacy or with private green space.

I was honestly shocked that the main access to the upstairs is only an elevator, not a beautiful staircase like this building deserves. its only five stories for goodness sake!

only if you wanted to maintain the same number of cars driving in the area. It all depends on what you think we should be investing our time and money in 2013 and the future.

looks fancy. when does the first section open for buses?

I've been there a handful of times to see bands I like, I was talking more about how the door people literally grope you to get inside (I heard rumours they even check girls bras), and then someone always gets shot in their parking lot and their building is ugly and the beer selection is crap...

The government it garbage and honestly this is the best news i've heard all day.

Yonge Street North of Toronto is one of the densest lines of development in the GTA, and the most continuously urbanized Northern Routes out of the City, on Canada's longest street. Going back to before 1899 when the first electric streetcars plied North of Toronto to Sutton, developments have...

From Today. Didn't get a picture of it, but the pedestrian bridge over the E/W CN lines here is still intact, although the railings are solid rust and all the lights dont have bulbs. there is rusted welded shut gate on the south side that says "caution, bridge not maintained", even tho it is a...

from today

So we got two of these things up in here on today's visit. looking north to old richmond hill from across yonge street

From Today

Please, please do. Just wondering if it is the abandoned school lot at Church and Park that you are talking about? I've heard something is going there, a condo or townhouses. No pictures or anything really yet.

re Putato: that is complete hogwash. cool pics!

the markers should be returned to the chinese factory they were formed in. how does anyone feel about totem poles? like the ones in the ROM, except on the sidwalk.
