"Interim terminal facilities" does not sound promising in terms of making the passenger experience any better.

Making new buildings livable, instead of just letting them be maximized for profit at the expense of the future residents, would upset developers so it'll never happen in this province 🙃 .

Regarding consolidation of City office spaces, yes there's a lot working out of City Hall and Metro Hall, but there's still plenty of staff based out of North York Civic Centre and Scarborough Civic Centre. This will be essentially the third pillar in terms of major suburban office sites...

Honestly, a truly strange store/location pairing. Hopefully we get something better as a replacement.

So turns out Simons expanded into Halifax literally yesterday lol. Also their CEO has said Toronto and Vancouver are underserved by their stores, so they're almost certainly looking at options in Toronto. What those options are though, idk.

I can't wait for the insane NIMBY excuses why nothing can be built here lol.

Sadly, I think we all know "THE RAINBOW LIGHTS ARE CORRUPTING THE CHILDREN" is coming in June 🙃 And while I hate the general corporatization of Pride, TD has been the main sponsor for years, so hopefully they'll keep those rainbow lights up.

I can't wait for this to be a "beloved community parking lot" (plz ignore the lack of actual parking) now that they want to build housing here 🤣

I was looking at the Star article about this and there was a comment that I think sums up the opposition: "why don't they just go to their friends' backyards instead?" And I don't think it was poorly intentioned, but it shows how a subset of people in Toronto don't realise how many people don't...

I bet most of the people who signed the petition A) own homes, and B) don't live in the area and just don't want to give up cheap parking.

You'd think they could have at least put one at Yorkdale if Oxford was going to be difficult. Instead they made it difficult for anyone in Toronto to shop there. Ugh. Simons is the single thing I miss the most about living in Ottawa.

Maybe since nothing will happen here until the OL is at least mostly built we can get something less bland and mediocre here. Like I am a full believer in having a large open-lawn space, but there needs to be more than that in a park this size. Bring back the swimming pool tbh.

While I think Metrolinx made a mistake with not including high-speed elevators in the design of the downtown stations, I don't know what else people expected them to build here. The RL stations were also planned to be very deep, so it's not like this is new. It's a corridor where you have to...

The back half of the tower is fine, but what on earth is going on with the front half? Fussy and overdone. Also, way too large of a residentially lobby entrance on Yonge. Why kill our main street with grandiose condo lobbies?

I think we're getting to the point where CentreCourt could have built an entire building faster than Pemberton can get a building to grade.

Social looks a little less terrible than usual in these pictures! Just a little.

I think maybe just the dog park inside the driveway loop opened, since I remember that being delayed for ages from the park itself opening. Otherwise not much has changed, they tried painting the City-standard garbage cans, but half the paint has flaked off sadly. It was a cute idea but just...

Now that it's finally fully open, wouldn't mind seeing your thoughts on Dr Lillian McGregor Park, if possible! So far I find it a nice space to walk through, but not anywhere I'd go to spend any actual amount of time, but not sure if that's just me.

Oh yeah, totally agree, the original plan was also stupid, and was the root cause of that mess. Ideally they should have planned to relocate the Carlaw trunk sewer from Day 1, and then run the subway up Carlaw without all the complications of the sewer line being present. But nope. Instead we...

Not for the OL, but for the previous RL plan, the City/TTC moved the tunnel south of Gerrard from Pape to Carlaw because locals on Pape complained during the consultation process. This stupidly meant they now had to build the subway directly below a major sewage artery, (which was already being...
