Ya know... I don't hate it?

In case you're still seeking photos, I snapped a wide shot the other day when I was at MEC:

Why is there a render-cybertruck? 😑

Here's one from my archives. 2015:

Speaking of the Greenway, neighbours are getting antsy about the delays in tendering (for good reason IMO!) and have started a petition to build the damn thing already: https://connectlappin.ca/

Yeah, I don't get the complaints. This is really good! What's not to love — it's got interesting materials, an unusual form, texture at street level, and some actual colour. Maybe the pink precast is a bit dusty, but give it a quick power wash and it'll shine. We asked for buildings that aren't...

Paging @goodcitywhenfinished! LOL

From tonight. Bloordale is starting to feel like part of a big city. I may have some qualms about the architecture we're getting here, but I'm genuinely excited for the liveliness that ~4000 new neighbours will bring to my neighbourhood.

This drives me crazy. Painting the new railings black would have been such an easy (and obvious) win, and yet...

This one could be getting a height and girth bump via a minor variance: Now 1100 units over two phases. https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-details/?id=5496155&pid=163380&title=1319-BLOOR-ST-W

The exposed aggregate look is also ubiquitous on the west coast. Lots of sidewalks like that in Victoria and Vancouver, e.g...

Yesterday morning. Damn, those bike lanes sure are causing some terrible congestion.

Anything's possible, but Doug will definitely notice if cities start doing this, and he absolutely would seek revenge in the pettiest possible way. Maybe he'll introduce follow-up legislation that bans bike lanes altogether, or maybe he'll just start denying provincial funding, cancelling...

Did they paint the pedestrian symbol on top of all that sand and road grit?

Veering slightly off-topic, but is Operations the department that (mis)manages transit signal priority? 👀

UT's very own @Reecemartin!

A couple of thoughts on this. One, location is important. Even with a hypothetical Eastern Gap bridge, existing island parkland wouldn't be within practical walking distance of the core. The airport lands, on the other hand, are in a prime location close to the foot of Bathurst. Two, why assume...

The wall is a crash wall and, like it or not, is required by rail safety regulations. Not much leeway there.

Somebody needs to confiscate Doug's crayons. This is getting ridiculous.

I'm curious to see the wording, but if it's as bad as it sounds, it should be ripe for a charter challenge.
