    Rogers will only do this if it makes financial sense. New ballpark with retractable roof in the city will cost 1.5-2 billion. I don’t see this happening. More likely a traditional ballpark without a roof outside the city. Naive to think Taxpayers/ fans won’t be on the hook for some of this...

    Challenges for busway in this area for sure. Widen where possible. Removing fence on west side, replace with regular raised curb, install new straight fence on east side. Province should also look at encroaching on properties on west side between corridor and Nantucket. Not a pleasing...

    Clearly mlb rule 1.04 is not adhered to. Rogers center would have to rotate southern roof panel during afternoon games to alleviate this problem. This is the advantage these other ballparks don’t have.

    Moving subway and this section of McCowan slightly east will allow existing road to remain open during length of construction. New road/bridge alignment would also eliminate the two small jogs in the existing road configuration. This design will actually minimize disruptions in the area...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Highland creek is definitely an environmentally sensitive area. The current McCowan bridge is Roughly 7’ above the walking path. Having a higher bridge and a glass enclosed subway structure beside or below McCowan would be the only way to get above the creek. There are limited areas for...

    Subway stop at Lawrence is way too deep. Nine stories will be deepest station in system. Not user friendly, especially for people using hospital. Designers need to design bridge similar to Old Mill station. Design to go above Highland creek. System should also be moved slightly to the east...
