You see I read that part in the article and once again was scratching my head at Toronto's apparent inadequacy. Every other major city manages to build large developments over subways. Why is Toronto lately such a candy ass when it comes to subways and building projects? We used to build over the subways 40 years ago, like 2 Bloor east and Hudson's Bay Center.
Boston completely submerged its highway infrastructure and Toronto can't figure out what to do with the Gardiner.
New York has NOTHING BUT large projects over subways and trains. Ground Zero has three Supertalls and several high rises being constructed around and
over a train and subway platform. And those platforms were floating in the air like bridges for over five years. And Toronto won't build tall on the East side of Yonge!
Even Ottawa is building a subway tunnel under the WHOLE of downtown.
Sheesh! The least Toronto could do is build one skyscraper over the subway on the Southeast corner of Yonge and Wellesley, to show the world we can do it!
