This will be quite an isolated place to live unless they start converting A LOT of employment lands along Evans. Nothing in walking distance.

It's definitely an attractive little building, but it's just in the wrong place.

They should tear down the old Scotiabank building on the corner of Bathurst and Dundas (bottom left) that was being used a COVID assessment centre. This corner is so crowded when you wait for the streetcar, the sidewalk is way too narrow. It should be a nice little plaza with benches and some trees.

lol @ the crossways getting that tunnel. "Any year now!"

Hard to tell from this rendering but it will be too bad if they build this all the way out to the property line. Would be much better if the building was set back to maintain the street wall with the neighbouring building to the north. A little bit more breathing room for pedestrians would go a...

Parkdale deserves a rapid transit stop. The 501 is great for local trips but getting all the way downtown or across town from here takes forever. It's always infuriating to take a bus up to Bloor to go across just to take another bus back south. Queen and Jameson would be a great spot for a...

What would it take to convince PortsToronto to budge on this? It's wild that building man made islands in the middle of the harbour seems more likely that just shutting down a frivolous airport. You'd think with all the Liberal ridings in Toronto that the city would have some sway with the feds...

Went for a walk through Exhibition Place yesterday. This is the view you'll be greeted with as you exit the new Exhibition Station. I stand by my opinion that it should come down. This is not a special building imo, not worth saving given the location. Good news is there is plenty of room to...

100% agree. Walking through the Princes' Gates and looking towards another loading dock at the Better Living Centre...

I'm mostly coming at this through the lens of the overall "user" experience of Exhibition Place, with the hopes of making it a more attractive destination year-round, not just two weeks in the summer. Maybe QEB is not suitable for food, but it's just a suggestion. My point is more that with so...

Seeing the most recent plans for the Exhibition Ontario Line/GO Station makes me think we should tear down the Food Building and turn that space into an open plaza. When you walk out of the station, you should be entering a welcoming space that you might want to linger in for a moment and...

Yes I believe that's the reasoning that was given-- I'm no engineer but it feels like we should be able to figure that out. Like.. c'mon!

Seeing the new plans for Quayside, including a destination performing arts centre, makes me even more sure that we'll regret not building a Cherry St. station. Seems like the obvious place to transfer to a streetcar or walk to access the emerging waterfront community at Quayside, Silo Park...

It'd be great if they deck over both sides of Spadina (I'm sure someone will eventually), but I'm just talking about this site, west of Spadina. SW corner is where the GO station is planned, yes. Someone pointed out (maybe another thread?) that Metrolinx put out a call for developer partners...

Never thought the most recent plan would get built--it was a fantasy. Best thing they could do (besides going back to the city's original vision!) would be to connect Dan Leckie Way and Portland St. so it becomes a continuous at-grade street. Anything to make Cityplace and the "fashion...

As someone who lives nearby and uses this park often, this is really exciting to see this finally come to fruition! I don't find it overwhelming as there is a HUGE field. Dog park users will be miffed when they realize they're losing some space but they'll get over it.

Just in time for them to start construction on the Ontario Line!

Billy Bishop airport would be the best location for a great park. All those new ORCA residents could take the short walk down Bathurst and cross a pedestrian bridge and stroll to Hanlan's point.

A train yard is not my first choice for this *particular* site, but it would probably still be better looking than Hotel X.

Would love to see a stop at Queen and Jameson in Parkdale. Lots of access to streetcars in the area, but it would great for that neighbourhood to have a faster way to get downtown. Then maybe a stop in Roncesvalles on the way up to Dundas West to connect to Line 2 and UPX makes sense. Beyond...
