I think this is great news. There is some tremendous potential to transform Yorkville. One step closer!

God damn right!

Can anyone tell me what is going in the last parcel of land, right next to the Amsterdam brewery and just south of the planned subsidized housing and library and such? I have seen the master plan documents but cant quite recall. Thanks in advance!

I would definitely take the wall of condo's, with certain condition of course. Parking spots, in my opinion, are the lowest form of land use there is!

Absolutely, its positive. Flawed to an extent, but at the end of the day its very positive. My only hope is that they would look at incorporating subways, where necessary.

Of course they aren't going away, but there are ways to build cities that can minimize the need for cars. Isn't there a better use for land in Toronto than 1900 parking spots? Thats an insane amount of cars and the traffic around there will become a nightmare!

Thats what it looks like. Saw it while riding the GO the other day... looks like some sort of cut and cover is being done on the north side of the train tracks. The trench doesn't go directly up to Front, only partially.

No disrespect intended, I'm just curious what you are referring to. Can you provide a couple examples of some of these cities and their visions and such?

Good point.

My preference would be for number's 5 & 6 first.

Thanks for the pic. Wanted to show the wife but could not find a good enough picture to show the horror that is this monstrosity... thanks!

Was there a couple of weeks ago. If you try and get through the fence security personnel will give you the boot.

Hah!

Ive had my issues with the builder as well... and they wont budge. I have tried every argument and none were working... the only way to get the developer to take notice is to go to the media and kick up a storm. Good luck.

I am in agreeance that we should just wait before blaming people and pointing the finger. Who knows what has really taken place here and what the motives are... negotiating tactics? Not sure, but lets just wait and see what happens.

A couple of things to the person that just moved in. What floor are you on? Im on 16 and scheduled to move in mid August... Im just curious if they are making good progress or not? In regards to the individual metering. I am of the opinion that it isnt a big deal. Somewhere in our...

Perhaps so, but a variety of trends and studies are starting to show that driving patterns are affected by higher gasoline prices. We will see I suppose.

ABSOLUTELY! Id love to see this type of thing... any chance we can get to incorporate some green in our city, Im all for it!

Thanks gents :)

Not at all - these pics show them as well as any I have seen... it just makes a big difference seeing it in person.
