Perhaps I'm too cynical but the Ontario Line appears to be an exercise in obfuscation by the Tories. It looks like the CPC is now on-board too. The Ontario Line Proposal is not dramatically different than the previously proposed Relief Line but it is different enough to cause to multi-year...

As a cyclist who likes to ride at 25kph+, a curb is not desired. A slightly raised buffer is ok. Flat is safest.

That's a significant statement. I recognize there are a lot of professionals on this site with opinions that are very well informed. I'm interested in understanding the rationale behind your comment.

They finished putting the glass over the moat yesterday.

This city is terribly unfriendly to cyclists. As a road biker there are very, very few ways to ride through this city in a safe manner. If I ride on the paths/trails (ie. Betty Sutherland, Pan-Am, Waterfront, etc) at anything more than 25kpm then I become a threat to other people using the...

Today at 2:30pm.

A massive correction is required on your "simple demographics" comment. Look at the population growth stats for Ontario as posted by the Ontario Government: https://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/economy/demographics/projections/table4.html. These stats come directly from StatsCan, the same source as...

I also enjoy going through http://www.skyscrapercenter.com/cities and comparing Toronto with other cities. The chart posted above that lists the number of 150M+ buildings under construction seems to be missing some data points. This info is from the same site. The following cities were not on...

Yes it will. Go to the development map. You can easily find if there is a proposal for a location and get to the thread. In this case there is a proposal and I believe it is taller than eCondo.

This is a time lapse view of how Toronto has changed and will look as the new skyscrapers (150M+) under construction and proposed are completed. There are a couple of inaccuracies but it is still fun.

According to Skyscraper page, there are 65 completed towers in Toronto that exceed 150M in height and another 34 under construction. There are many more towers fast approaching construction, such as YSL. In a matter of roughly 15 years our city has transitioned from having 15-20...

Interesting comment because it made me double check population numbers. The population of the GTHA is 7m. The total GTHA population living east of the DVP/404 (Scarborough, Markham and Durham Region) is 1.62M, roughly half the 3 million you mention. The population of the Greater Golden...

I had the chance to ride the Canada Line in Vancouver last year. It goes through neighborhoods that are much more dense than Thorncliffe and it appears to fit in quite well. Also, the north side of Overlea is entirely commercial, so the raised track could conceivably be placed on that side of...

Awesome photo! I'm looking forward to seeing more images that show the transition between this beautiful building and the tower.

Why not elevate the Ontario Line through Thorncliffe and Flemington Park? For the stretch along Overlea and Don Mills (south of Eglinton) there are few residences abutting the street, so it will not impact too many homes.

A view of Station street from the east. Union Centre will fill the west end of the street.
