Always looks odd to have a tram running through big box power centres and auto malls like that, but I am reminded that the entire area will be completely unrecognizable from today in 10-20 years.

Let’s wait and see the how good the public realm execution will be here. Even if subpar, there are a massive number of improvements coming to the immediate surroundings including a new park right next door.

my money is on December 1st, finch west September 1st

University park is one of those projects that will push the city closer to the "world class" status it labels itself. The assembly grounds are in dire need of revitalization so I would think the province is interested as well. Hopefully get rid of that surface parking too!

These stations being close wouldn’t be an issue if GO operated EMUs.

That northeast corner skylight detail is unsightly. Looks like a leftover from mid 90s PoMo 🤢

I am so happy with the choice to renovate this complex with respect to the original design. Its great to see a modernist building revitalized without turning the facade into a spandrel-fest.

With RapidTO now going full steam ahead, I do hope the city is looking at a King Street ROW more seriously. We will soon have bus lanes on Jane where there is arguably a greater need for private car use than almost anywhere along King.

This might just be a max speed test, but looks pretty fast. Hoping operation speed is close to this.

nice design, but we should have 30 stories here.

Love it. No random rectangles and a unified facade that has not been broken up. This should be the bar for generic buildings.

I saw that too - what on earth is going on here. Is this station a kilometre deep or something?

Seeing this in 2024 is wild. We thought 2015 was bad. Can’t wait for studios to hit 1.5 million in 2030 o_O

This is why we have a boring cityscape. Developers are consistently scared off from doing anything creative or new because it will lose them money. All for some managers at city planning to posture that they actually do anything useful in this city. "What do you mean we're a bloated...

Design on pair of Ontario Line subway stations reaches milestone

The only scenario in which a downtown Brampton tunnel is even close to being a reasonable idea is if they are planning density greater than the Golden Mile or Square One District. I don’t think we will see that much density in downtown Brampton. Although I would certainly hope the Province is...

Could see Jane St being one of the possible Ontario Line West alignments

Cover photo of one of the architects working on the project on LinkedIn. I have a few mutual LinkedIn connections that work at Mott Macdonald on the project so their profile came up lol. There are no other renders I could find.

Don't know if this has been posted before or how recent it is. Looks like Lawrence East station?

I'll say it again: A King Street dedicated ROW is probably the lowest-hanging fruit of all possible investments in Toronto transit right now. Not pursuing this is insane.
