This complex needs another access point and Portland St. would help.

(King and Bathurst intersection is shut down for weeks and traffic is seeking every nook and cranny to get around. It's a nightmare for the residents.)

One access road doesn't cut it.

Stop treating downtown Toronto like its a town and give us a working infrastructure.

This part of the city is exploding with new buildings.

Totally agree. If Regent Park or other subdivision have taught us anything it's that neighbourhoods shouldn't be cut off from the surround streets.

Fort York Blvd needs to run right through Bathurst ASAP with a streetcar line going down its middle. And Dan Leweki (sp?) Way should go right up and across the bridge and up Portland. Hopefully the first will happen soon and the next will happen in the near future. CityPlace needs to have main streets flowing through it and that will bring retail and people. Right now it's a bedroom community in the middle of the city. Mind you, a bedroom community filled with young, super hot, upwardly mobile people.

Instead of a pedestrian bridge they really should just build a proper bridge, even just 2 lanes wide here.

I'm really beginning to love the Parade podium/midrise buildings, with that sandstone-coloured precast brick panels, inset balconies etc looking very Dutch.

The original plan called for two access points through Cityplace, for both cars and pedestrians... the city decided a single pedestrian bridge would be sufficient.

Well we have 2 now Fort York Blvd and Dan Lewinsky Way. I guess in another year or two will have 3 (Bathurst).

I meant North-South connections besides Spadina and Bathurst Street.

I filmed this building on the weekend. The podium looks a lot bigger than the rendering. I like it.

Torontovibe, thanks for the great video. All of your films on YouTube are very good.

From what I recall, GO wasn't going to make any bridge project easy.

Does this building have a name or an address? The thread title is weird, haha.
