    Richmond Hill Toronto | Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    On one of the maps for the extension, it shows a dotted line going further north past Richmond Hill station. Does that imply that Hillcrest Mall will the last stop or potentially Aurora?

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    In the case of a grade separated EELRT, what would happen to the plans for the Morningside Crossing (Lawrence/Morningside) station? It has the potential to be a "mini Kennedy" for that area, handling the northbound trains to UTSC and Malvern Town Centre, as well as for any Durham buses using...

    Downtown Markham

    A number of years back, there were plans for "point towers" over 50 stories in downtown Markham and at Buttonville Airport. Are those still in the pipeline? I seem to remember that there were very tall buildings planned for the Langstaff area in Thornhill as well (way west of Markham downtown)

    Toronto Toronto | Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    Wasn't there talk in the late 70's or early 80's of extending the BD line past Kennedy all the way to Pickering Town Centre? I'm not sure if it was just idle chatter or if any study had gone into this.

    I don't know this wasn't planned instead of that "foot tunnel" to the airport. An LRT line (via tunnel) to he airport would have been an awesome addition to the revitalization. I don't foresee one to the "main" islands. I don't think the islanders would want *that* much city traffic coming...

    Roads: Missing Links in the Road Network

    I think a Lawrence LRT would more likely go to Don Mills on the Crosstown line. An ideal Lawrence East route would be from a station at Morningside (linking with the Malvern LRT) with stops at Galloway, Orton Park, Scarborough Golf Club, Markham (with a terminal allowing a branch up Markham...

    Toronto Toronto | One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Is this the site just across the street that has Sunrise Records? Wasn't there an article in a local paper a while back saying that this site was planned to be huge in square footage? How tall can they go there?

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This would be a great idea. Building a terminus in the old Morningside Mall area would be a huge transit hub for people going to/coming from Durham, UTSC, Malvern and western Scarborough. The GO station would also be a good area for a transit hub, a much much smaller "Union Station East" would...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    I remember reading a few years ago in a local gay publication that the LGBT community was heading to West Queen West, but a lot were going east of Leslieville to areas like Gerrard and Main, Danforth or other areas. I wonder if Little India's hipsterization will also be a beacon for the gay...

    Toronto Toronto | The HUB | 258.46m | 59s | Oxford Properties | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Interesting. Has anyone heard anything moving on potential sites at LCBO lands, Loblaws or 45 Bay? This would create a massive dense area that would need a lot of public transit. Could a subway be built in this area or is it too close to the lake (risk of flooding). It will be interesting to...

    Saks Fifth Avenue Flagship (Queen & Yonge)

    The stretch of Bloor from Sherbourne to Spadina will be greatly "Miracle Miled" kin he next decade or so. I can see very tall buildings and huigh class shops straight across. Does anyone know if they will develop that parking lot at Church?

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I've always wondered why Victoria Park station would be either built as underground in either the No Frills parking lot or in Eglinton square's. It would probably have a large bus bay and would even intercept some Lawrence 54 buses as well, I know there were plans for some huge condos at...

    Toronto Toronto | Casa III Condos | 179.52m | 55s | Cresford | a—A

    Was this new location also scheduled to be made into condos?

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    This also has the potential to be an away-from-downtown "carriage trade" district, like Bel Air or Beverly Hills does for LA. I can foresee a DRL sparking a bigger redevelopment of the Don Mills area from the Celestica all the way up to Fairview Mall, should the line terminate there. It would be...

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    Is that building just to the east of 10 Dundas East going to be torn down? It would make a great place to put an additional hotel or "vertical mall" to complement the others in the area. I may be wrong but weren't there rumours a while back that 10 Dundas East would get some kind of amusement...

    Toronto Toronto | Atrium on Bay Expansion | 114m | 34s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    Are there any plans for more media towers in the Atrium/Dundas Square area? Weren't there plans several years ago to put large signs at the Bay/Dundas Atrium area as well?

    Saks Fifth Avenue Flagship (Queen & Yonge)

    Were the "scouting parties" of KaDeWe, Debenhams, Carrefour and Harvey Nicks recent developments? I am surprised we haven't seen a return of Marks and Spencers or the introduction of Aldi or Daimaru to the Canadian market. Odds are, they would do well.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Yonge and Major Mac would be a great terminus for the Yonge extension. It would allow for the development of the Hillcrest Mall lands and that plaza across the street. A VIVA BRT linking the two lines (Yonge and Spadina) via Major Mac would probably be busy early on and would allow Richmond...

    Toronto Eaton Centre

    If and when Nordstrom's acquires the Sears space, the mall will go looking for high class clients. I wouldn't be surprised to see this become "Yorkdale South". I am wondering how it will do when other rumoured upscale spots (old Globe & Mail site, Convention Centre) could be just years away from...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    If converting the proposed Finch West LRT into a pie in the sky heavy rail linking the airport to, say, McCowan, would that take off any of the southbound crush? I could see people from the Dixon area taking the train to Black Creek Spadina line station and heading south and people from...
