    Toronto Toronto | Finch LRT: Humber College Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arup

    Just realized there's no escalator, is there?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Some people will stay on the streetcar to avoid the transfer, but if streetcars back up regularly in the central portion, people will learn to transfer to the OL as soon as possible just to avoid the possibility of being stuck on the streetcar.

    Uniqlo would be the other possibility, I think. You're lucky that the former Dundas Atrium area exists, forcing a passage through the old Eatons/Sears/Nordstrom space to maintain connectivity. In Vancouver, at grade, there is no need for connectivity across the space because the mall is...

    Great Metrolinx underground video at Osgoode Station:

    Or buy out Larco and build it at the Dominion Public Building!

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I was trying to figure out the outlines - but I think it for the lines that are "behind" you as this is on the southbound platform at Eglinton. The Yonge Line is also shown in outline. But agreed that they are barely visible. Another add-on would be to add the terminus station next to the...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The other thing is that the partially shown lines (2, 4, 5 & 6) should have arrows at the stubs showing they extend farther.

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor–Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The conveyor to remove spoils is in the upper right side. It looks so small because the tunnel is so big. There's still a lot of work to go. Those pipes are to supply the TBM. They'll have to pour a level floor about a third the way up from the bottom. Here's the Vancouver Broadway SkyTrain...

    I see that Simons is prepared for a riot with the roll down door.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Consistent with the renderings. Thanks!

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge South Block | 296m | 85s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Yonge Sheppard Centre was reclad with aluminum panels (which could be any colour) over brutalist concrete panels. Hopefully the south block will be redesigned to allow phasing of the project. That massive stepped podium is overbearing.

    Loving all the pier construction on the Don Valley Bridges! Thanks!

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    I don't see any obvious weep holes in case water gets inside the panels?

    The straight edges probably allow them to get a tight seal on the corner.

    Toronto Toronto | KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Allied | Bjarke Ingels Group

    There is one condo in Vancouver that had fantastic vines growing up trellises in the alley. Then one day, I noticed they were all chopped down. I suspect that rats or squirrels were using the vines to climb up the building.

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    Agreed that the black ceiling treatment for Simons should have skewed to the right towards the entrance. I think Simons sign is lined up down the atrium, but is off-centre on its facade and sits on the bottom sill of the window. Eataly's sign is off-centre to the right on its facade and aligned...
