This whole rezoning scheme is more of a publicity stunt for the City to look like they are doing something to address housing while avoiding more challenging issues. The only areas where this will have a major impact is the few remaining 1950s suburbs with grid layouts and 50' lots that are...

Based on the age and skin colour of these individuals - they don't deserve to have an opinion!!!

The same constraints that work against large site TOD development everywhere in the city. High front end civil construction costs (road realignment, utilities, grading) that usually can't be phased. These destroy a pro-forma. In greenfield development, the city front ends major civil works. If...

Mormons are also huge into basketball but less interested in hockey in my experience.

Feds shouldn't be meddling in areas of provincial responsibility. It's as simple as that.

I disagree with respect to YVR. Canada Line is very well used by travelers as well as employees - that's the model we should follow, using a Green Line spur rather than this people mover idea.

Actually a masonry wall (either structural or veneer) is one of the most durable and long lasting wall assemblies that exists. Certainly more durable than the cheap metal siding they've covered it with.

That's dumb. Maybe the city should lead by example and start planting / maintaining / actually watering street trees in the downtown and Beltline.

Carz r bad! Demolish the flyover!

Those site plan changes have me cautiously optimistic!

Yeah the precast panels were much classier than the tacky random stripes everywhere!

Which is crazy because a decade or so ago Pearson was a really pleasant airport to fly through but now it's on par with some of the worst airports in the US IMO. Unfortunately I have to be in Toronto regularly so I've witnessed the decline firsthand.

Last Westjet flight I took was full of connecting passengers from Winnipeg, Edmonton, Sask, and interior BC. It's much nicer to connect in YYC vs. Pearson for example so not really surprising.

This would have looked a million times better had they left the brick pilasters and top relief pattern band in place and just infilled between with a nondescript cheap cladding material (like below). Covering the brick up with crappy metal siding is a crime against architecture. 😢

Wouldn't the floorplates be way too big to work as resi? Bankers is still probably one of the more desirable office addresses in the city.

LOL it's not like eleventh street is a commuter route. It's mostly local traffic - peds, bikes, and vehicles. Investing upwards of $50 million dollars (likely higher) to make connectivity worse (ie. the "recommended" plan) is horrendous capital allocation. As a pedestrian and cyclist who uses 11...

Sounds like you haven't been to a well designed convention centre. This is what the interface with 17th at the SW corner of the building should look like. Instead we got a massive precast brick wall. It's just lazy design.

What a lovely industrial building!

Maybe I'm being a little hard on ol' Jonny boy. I sincerely hope he turns it around!

You can't fool us bruh - we know you're a corporate shill for those fatcats at CSEC and the Airport Authority. 😉
