I grew up in New York (Brooklyn) in the 80s. Let me know when it gets that bad. Until then I hope we give as much energy to the bigger issues as we do graffiti, like oh I don't know, education, ensuring people have enough food and shelter, the fentanyl epidemic, etc. I don't love graffiti...

Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but Ford is looking at what seems like a strange idea to me, which is to build a tunnel for transit and cars under the 401 from Brampton to Scarborough. CBC reported on it: https://www.cbc.ca/lite/story/1.7333341

One of the issues developers face along Danforth, outside these assembled and larger sites, is a severe lack of depth to most properties. The solution, I imagine, might lie in the liberalizing of the OP doctrine, whereby a few houses south of Danforth could find an easier path to gentle...

I'm gonna be a bit nimby-tastic. I don't know, this seems really excessive given the context of the neighbourhood. I do live nearby. I am all for this site being redeveloped, but I feel I'm within reasonable bounds by saying the height and massing do not inspire confidence. Then again, I...

They backed away from MTSAs? As in less focus on TOD and density goals within those 500m radii around stations?

I get the concern about congestion, but it is hard to pin all that congestion on the bike lane additions. The places where I see the most congestion don't actually have bike lanes. The places with bike lanes were congested before covid. This is dog whistle politics. Stirring up divisions...

When I first glanced I thought the older yellow hallway photo was the completed renovation, and I was like...hmmm... small improvement I suppose. ;)

My guess, but I bet he means south of Bloor, or even south of St. Clair, where things are tighter, and there is a lot going on. I would go further, south of Bloor give me pedestrian only, and put those sweet euro-bollards up that go up and down depending on deliveries etc. Then make the speed...

Dear lord, that carpet. This is a carpet that says, I am looking for a carpet that induces rabid and uncontrollable puking, while hiding the aftermath, and creating suspicion that there was one or more murders where the victims were then dragged out of the building.

The crowds at Yonge and Eglinton are less awful? I recall waiting many trains to board going southbound when entering the system at Eglinton.

Political photo op tent? ;)

Today:

I agree, it appears to "fit" better now in the skyline photo. The angled building look is always more visually interesting, as well.

As an appraiser I feel a lot of people clearly don't understand property rights in Canada. Also, people clearly don't understand fair market value, and fee simple ownership. It would take some time to break it all down, but I do feel we can be both sympathetic to those owners having their...

Fair point, I guess the rollout is the bigger issue. If we are going to use T, let's use it on everything so it becomes the logo for all transit stations in Toronto, subway, tram, bus, etc. For Boston, the transit is known as the Boston T, which is like the Toronto (T)TC. Really my OCD is...

Likewise, and not sure why we need to copy Boston. Its transit is abysmal currently.

Are there plans to paint the concrete pillars? Bc they look awfully unfinished in their natural state.

From about two weeks ago.

I agree. This is Emery Village, not Mercer Street. I've been by it many times, it looks "fine" and serves its purpose.
