There can't be many areas left in the GTA that aren't seeing some kind of highrise proposals these days.

Steeles and Dufferin, an area ripe for densification. Horrendous traffic though.

Commission Meeting Minutes

The Toronto Transit Commission is the quick, convenient and safe way to get around Toronto. The subway system is linked with buses and streetcars to get you around Toronto on one fare, provided it's a one-way trip with no stopovers. You can travel on the TTC every day.

And here is the staff report with details (link). Game changer for this corridor.

Minutes from the July 2020 TTC Board meeting (link):

The traffic here is mainly Dufferin heading into Vaughan and vice versa. The TTC won't help much.

This might be off the topic. But this development has a nice solid look to it . With the punctured windows supported by a decent amount of cladding around it etc. Love to see more of these types of buildings in the downtown core ! To balance off with the large amount of all glass facades skyscrapers !

Agreed, it's a nice change of pace. Reminds me of Tridel's concrete look.
