    When are they extending Kariya down to Central Parkway ?

    Toronto Toronto | Fort York Visitor Centre | ?m | 2s | Fort York Foundation | Patkau

    It's a shame that the other structures that made up the Stanley Barracks were razed for a parking lot in the 1950's. The fort should have been restored, and we could have had an nice fortress overlooking the lake.

    Toronto scraps museum project, plans to raze site instead

    This has Walnut Hall written all over it. Toronto, just does not appreciate its history.

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    If Toronto ever gets past the Group Stage of the CONCACAF Champions League, you can bet that it will utilize the SkyDome for any remaining matches. Because playing in February at BMO would be next to impossible.

    Because heavens forbid that we have two stadiums of the same size! European cities have dozens, literally dozens of stadia that are anywhere from 10,000 and up capacity. Surely Toronto can accommodate a couple.

    And MLSE will spend another 800K to put in a Fieldturf field near the Lakeshore Lions Arena.

    General cycling issues (Is Toronto bike friendly?)

    Our bicycle network could be so much better. Trails around Toronto are not only poorly marked and signed, but also in various states of disrepair. Toronto should look to Montreal as how to setup a proper bike network.

    Toronto Toronto | O2 Toronto | 48.16m | 14s | Identity | P + S / IBI

    The collapse of Walnut Hall, is such a depressing story. But it fits in very nicely with all the other treasures the city has demolished over the past 60 years.

    Toronto Toronto | St Regis Toronto Hotel and Residences | 281.93m | 58s | JFC Capital | Zeidler

    Someone quickly open up an off topic thread in the name above! :D

    2282 Lake Shore Blvd W. (Polish Alliance Hall)

    This is good news. Funny, that me and my wife were talking about the Polish Alliance Hall, and its potential redevelopment as we walked past it the other day.

    Bay Adelaide Centre West Tower (Brookfield, 50s, WZMH)

    If anything, BA2, should be taller than than BA1. Make up for the first one's shortcomings.

    Mississauga Toronto | Widesuites Condominiums | ?m | 35s | Conservatory Group | Richmond Architects

    Wow, I really hope they will do something with those 6 stories of concrete. I don't understand why they did not go below ground with the parking garage? So instead of beautifying the Hurontario streetwall, they're going to get this fugly parking garage. How was this approved? I really don't get...

    Toronto Toronto | Clear Spirit | 131.36m | 40s | Cityscape | a—A

    Those condo towers will stick out like sore thumbs. Way too tall for the area.

    Swaying Condo Buildings?

    Expansion/Contraction during summer/winter has to do more with relative indoor humidity than with sway ...

    "Street View" on Google maps

    +1 on this ... no way it could be done with user submitted photos. Would be a logistical nightmare.

    Toronto Toronto | Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto | 207.86m | 53s | Graywood | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Looking good. A little thinner than I expected, but the top portion of the building should be spectacular - for Toronto.

    Toronto Toronto | Maple Leaf Square | 185.92m | 54s | Lanterra | KPMB

    Toronto FC ... nuff said.

    1 Bloor East, DEAD AND BURIED (Bazis, -2s, Varacalli)

    It will be 63 floors, but they've heightened the ceiling height per floor to 15 feet. :D

    Downtown Mississauga Master Plan

    Knowing Mississauga, it will probably be two strip malls.
