    Toronto Bike Share

    That’s the effect of starting building out dedicated bike infrastructure years before Toronto, and their bike share service starting 2 years before ours.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I rode through here yesterday and was the only cyclist to actually follow the painted lines. Unfortunately pedestrians were all over the bike path and I got squeezed into that curb and hit my pedal on it. If this is the final design, it will definitely need some revisions.

    Corktown

    I needed this years ago! I lugged an 8 foot long blackout roller blind home from the Davenport location on the bus/streetcar. It was quite an adventure.

    Toronto Toronto | Time and Space Condos | 101.8m | 29s | Pemberton | Wallman Architects

    The most flattering image of Time and Space I could possibly take. Still had to chop a little off the top tho.

    Toronto Toronto | St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    A bit off topic, but I've been wishing for a proper sign on The Esplanade side of the South market for years now. It's just got a cheap vinyl printed sign right now.

    Toronto Toronto | 28 Eastern | 45.4m | 12s | Alterra | Teeple Architects

    Cancelled in 2021. It will be a condo no doubt.

    Toronto Bike Share

    Not only that but I find the QR scratched bikes are often in the best shape of any on the rack. I suspect it’s done by people using them for food delivery that want to keep a well tuned bike for themself for the day. The difference between a freshly tuned bike and the average bike is huge. I’ve...

    Toronto Bike Share

    Already some features I like with the app. The live timer as soon as you open it overlayed on the map is nice. I hope it’s soon tied into a the iOS timer so it displays natively. One thing I don’t like is I haven’t found a way to generate a code to unlock qr scratched bikes.the stats are cool...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    The whole block is full of cars. They’ve been waiting at the red for 2 cycles so far. Just waiting for a streetcar to come honk them out of the way. Oh they just ran the red.

    Toronto Toronto | The Whitfield | 130m | 39s | Menkes | Giannone Petricone

    Agreed, and I appreciate that the Whitfield completely covers the aluminum siding of the neighbouring office building from the street side. It's sad how uncommon that kind of attention to detail is in this city.

    Hoping to see some cladding soon. The more I see the more I like. Street wall looking good.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    I don't know, I walked along King and observed how drivers are reacting and I didn't see one driver go straight through. I saw multiple drivers stopped at the red for multiple cycles, anticipating it to turn green for them to go straight through. I saw 2 cars sit at the red for a full 4 traffic...

    I really hope this one isn’t let down by the cladding. I’m already loving the curves.

    Toronto Toronto | St Lawrence Centre Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | CreateTO | Hariri Pontarini

    I was wondering about the bike path connection too. It doesn't appear the current design allows any through traffic of pedestrians or cyclists on Scott Street.

    St Lawrence Market

    As a cyclist who uses Berkeley nearly every day to access the Richmond and Adelaide bike lanes, moving the streetlights from Berkeley to Ontario Street, would be an absolute nightmare, and makes no sense at all. Ontario is a disconnected and disjointed street. Berkeley actually makes some useful...

    Toronto Toronto | 88 Queen | 167.35m | 52s | St Thomas Dev | Hariri Pontarini

    That's not true. It was called The Luminous Veil since the concept was originally unveiled in 1998, and was constructed with the necessary wiring for the lighting right from the start. I distinctly remember it being called The Luminous Veil when it was opened in 2003. The lights were "coming...

    Toronto Toronto | Time and Space Condos | 101.8m | 29s | Pemberton | Wallman Architects

    Nobody is denying that NIMBY's exist, especially on Facebook, but they complain about every building. The point is that Time and Space has faced A LOT more criticism than any of the new builds near it, from massing, to materials and quality of construction, and all of these are valid criticisms...
