In light of the really good front page article here, where can one find the link to the Design Review Panel comments?

In particular, I want to see high-res images of public realm plan and the development plan of Six Points posted in the article above, including the conceptual massing of the proposed Housing Now development on Blocks 1-6.

This kind of vision-less crap from the city drives me crazy. Just copy what has worked in Toronto for decades, even centuries - King, Queen, Bloor, hell, even the Regent Park makeover if you want a current example of how to do modern urbanism relatively well. ECC is a blank slate that must not be squandered.

First time through here this morning, on the MiWay #76. Glad to see the progress, but I hope they can manage traffic better during construction. 10 minutes to get from Islington to Kipling. Barely moved along Bloor, though the new Dundas section was pretty quick.

Google Maps is actually showing that, yet they can;t show the TYSSE

Baby steps. Baby steps.

I reported it through Google Maps yesterday and flagged that it's urgent to redraw the entire thing, I'm surprised to see the new Dundas already drawn in! Usually it's a week or two from my experience. The old Gardiner offramp to York took weeks.

That is intersting I will admit. It's nice to see Google wanted to update it.

Nice, though I would also be better if Google removed the old Bloor and Dundas alignment/bridges.

They are still technically there, at least for another week.

The less confusion I'd say the better!

Those bridges would have been great for the bicyclists. A little wide, too bad they couldn't just narrow the bridges by 75%.

Damn, I would have loved to seen the bridges turned into a cycle only lane. Then again, this city loves to tear down things, so...

The cyclist lobby already complained and got the on street bike lanes upgraded to separated cycle tracks beyond the curb for the new Dundas and Bloor Streets - so there's some progress.

Traffic view at 6:15pm, traffic was almost backed up to Royal York on Bloor.

Oops hopefully this works
