    Toronto 980 Lansdowne Avenue | 101.14m | 36s | Neudorfer | Gabriel Bodor

    While I love a fun and thoughtful colour palette - my first reaction is that these combinations sit so harshly against each other. But who knows - maybe they'll grow on me?

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    It's so refreshing to see streets free from ugly utility poles and wires.

    Toronto Birch House at Canary Landing | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | Stantec

    I'm so confused by the perspective of this photo. All that green space in the background looks like an urban forest.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I can't help but feel that Toronto underutilizes the chicane. Instead of another set of lights here, I wonder if this would have been better suited to a chicane? Slow down the driving speed of the vehicles with physical barriers, rather than forcing a complete stop.

    This is a big one. Four way stops impede the flow of naturally moving traffic, creating artificial jams. Yield/Give Way signage is much smarter for a residential intersection.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Welcome to page 900! It's taken just over 11 years to get to this point. How many more before this project sees completion?

    I think Toronto could benefit from using Chicanes on our streets to help with traffic calming. The benefits are numerous - including more green space. https://www.sfbetterstreets.org/find-project-types/pedestrian-safety-and-traffic-calming/traffic-calming-overview/chicanes/

    Toronto strikes again! Street pole installed in downtown bike lane

    Toronto 15-17 Elm | 99m | 30s | Fora | PARTISANS

    I want to like these renders more than I do. Whilst I agree that this bold architectural facade is a welcome shift from the usual bland iterative design we're so used to, but there's something about the awkward proportions that look heavy and somewhat unrefined.

    I kinda love these guys. How can we get them to Toronto? Just a minute

    Guess I'm walking today... What's going on around St Clair West? Does this happen often?

    Toronto home: Power and Adelaide | 78.33m | 22s | Great Gulf | Core Architects

    Ugh, yet another furniture store. I suppose at least it's not a cannabis store. This neighbourhood could have really benefited from a couple of restaurants or grocer.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Corktown Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Historical structures uncovered recently at the Corktown site.

    Agreed. I go by this build a few times per week. While I doubt it will ever win any architectural awards, it's a nice pop of colour which is a welcome change from the grey and glass towers we're so used to. Coupled with the black framing, it's got a Mondrian vibe going on which is a neat quirk.

    For me, the ideal urban density is that of Barcelona, Oslo, Paris or Stockholm; at 5 - 10 storeys the scale just feels right. With this scale, population densities can support transit and solid amenities, but you don't feel boxed in, wind tunnels are less-severe. The experience is much more...
