I wonder why it says Mirvish-Gehry "Vol 1." I remember that there was a rumour floating around a while back that Mirvish is planning another tower for the western side of the side where the art gallery is supposed to go, like the original proposal. Maybe this is referring to that.

" The panel member expressed that the idea of the theatrical stair was too much, but also not enough at the same time. " that's the quote of the day

Hey can anyone at the meeting right now give us some details about this project

is ten arquitectos still designing two buildings in this neighbourhood or has the architect for those buildings changed?

They're also asking for 96 stories for the tallest building. Thats significantly taller than any of those vancouver proposals so they'll have way more units to sell. A higher standard of architecture is definitely needed.

Can someone who was at the Design Review Panel meeting last night give us an update on what was proposed for the ferry terminal?

Can someone who was at the Design Review Panel meeting last night give us an update on what was proposed for this park?

From the looks of the report the project has gone back to the old (worse) design

It would cost the same or less than the boulevard, cars could travel at expressway speeds, and it could be retrofitted into a boulevard when transit gets built

is it possible to build an atgrade expressway along the route of the proposed boulevard? This would free up land for development, and it could be retrofitted into a boulevard later.

The rush hour commutes are the only concern because the non peak hour commutes only increase by 52 seconds.

It's not an assumption. Theres an incredible amount of research that shows how removing roads decreases car dependancy, and improves traffic congestion. In San Francisco, traffic improved by over 20 percent when the embarcadero was replaced by a boulevard

I didn't say it was a dealbreaker i said it's worse for pedestrian experience. Most of the Gardiner East goes right overtop of Lakeshore blvd so there are barely any places that they'll be able to make into an interesting public spaces. The studies found that it made a difference. The "hybrid"...

Based on what? The evidence in the city report showed an improvement to the economy I never said that it was the answer to climate change, I said that climate change should be factored into our policy making. Which is wasn't. Also I think you're downplaying the impact that a small stretch of...

I don't consider trusting the city staff reports and studies to be fudging, and even if the price was equal there's no sense in building the hybrid. It only slimly beats the boulevard on transportation, and by every single other metric the boulevard is a better option. To prefer the hybrid...

But then you have to pay for both options. Based on the price and the scarce advantages of the hybrid, this would be doubly stupid. Also the boulevard will have to go along the waters edge because the space where it's supposed to will be developed over. As for the unfunded transit projects: The...

5 minutes if you're driving almost the entire length of the gardiner. As stated in the article, The U of T study found only a 2 minute delay when driving the east-west portion of the gardiner. The same as the city study. And of course there will be inexplicably bad days, but those are extremely...

The reasons for discounting the U of T study are clear. The 10 minute figure assumes that there won't be an island in the middle of the blvd. Therefore pedestrians would need to cross the road in one shot, so red lights would last a lot longer. This adds 4.5 minutes on to the commute time...

http://www.bortolotto.com/Portfolio/OCAD-Rosalie-Sharp-Pavillion.aspx lots of renders on the architects site. I'm surprised they aren't building a bigger building here

Awesome, take pictures if you can
