Scotiabank recently paid $800M to acquire naming rights at the ACC for 20 years. I wonder if there is value to be realized by selling name rights and offering an great deal of promotion on the proposed Rail Deck Park? There must be a company willing to pay to get exclusive naming rights for...

Anyone else see this image in the Sept 26 release on the Crosstown LRT and Kennedy Station? This will be an intermodal station between the LRT, Subway, GO RER, buses and whatever replaces the existing SRT. That sea of parking spaces is disheartening.

Hey there, I was looking for information about Montage, Concord City Place at 25 Telegram Mews. It doesn't come up on the 100M list. I also couldn't find a thread in the Database. Here's a link to the building on the Skyscraper page. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=41585...

Related to the comment above by Ponyboy, has there been a comparison or evaluation of extending the DRL North past Sheppard to Hwy 7 with building the Yonge extension from Finch to Richmond Hill? A couple of thoughts on why a DRL super long (DRL-SL) to Hwy 7 might make sense: - It would...

QUOTE="OneCity, post: 1257885, member: 69891"] Scarborough is a big place with various needs, unfortunately there are too many that do not to live here, who live close to subways stops and higher order transit have Scarborough needs figured out. Don't get me wrong it goes both ways, and well...

I really like this building...

I read the study, although it was several years ago. If I recall, the study looked at all trips, not just trips by transit. The results were similar to the 70% you quoted, most trips are made within Scarborough. Of interest, a significant number of Scarborough residents make their way...

When this building is complete, York Street will be the first north-south roadway in Toronto that connects the city north of the rail corridor to the waterfront without a parking lot or empty space along the way. This is an amazing transformation and the view from York Quay is beautiful. We...

YTZ was not designed to serve a wider scope. It has always been a small, regional airport. The proposal to extend the runways is a "re-design". As stated elsewhere, the redesign of YTZ would place a significant burden on the surrounding infrastructure, all while we have a well functioning...

Did you notice the entrance fee to Longwood Gardens is US$30 per adult? While Longwood is spectacular, it appears to have been designed with different objectives when compared with Edwards Gardens. Dinky pathways may be the best we can do with the budget available.

For those interested in the status of the East Don Trail where full funding for the project was announced earlier this year. This is the June status update: "The project will not proceed to construction unless a decision from the Minister allows it to do so. A date for a decision from the...

Agreed. It should be so tall that from the top we can see Montreal or Detroit on a clear day.

Correct, a ferry dock would need to be built at OP.

Why isn't the Crosstown LRT extended to the STC along the SRT route and pushed out to Malvern? That would provide Scarborough riders with more rapid transit access and multiple options to travel the City with subway connections at Kennedy, Yonge, the Allen, St Dennis, and ideally at Don Mills...

The section of Eglinton from Don Mills to Birchmount is one of the few areas of our City where a raised LRT line would not dramatically affect the city scape. That said, there are also very few cross streets along this section. With a dedicated right of way and signal priority, the LRT should...

On the question of accessibility, I wonder if it could make sense to have a Ferry go to Ontario Place from Jack Layton Terminal? A Ferry Ticket could include a trip to OP and/or the Toronto Islands. As a destination, OP could be positioned as a place to be outdoors and physically engaged...

I had the opportunity to visit Seoul and Tokyo recently. In addition to outstanding transit systems both mega cities had urban thoroughfares, very wide streets with 6+ lanes, where vehicles could go fast (60km+). In Tokyo there are multiple highways that wind through the core of the city...

Apologies for the tangent to this thread but, Yes. Please. For those of us with homes in Toronto we've seen a phenomenal run-up in values. Paying $1000 more per year, per household, is a pittance relative to the increase in value. We are realizing a huge benefit by owning a home in these...

The idea of a plaza makes great sense here. While we are at it, all remnants of the off-ramp can go. I see no need to memorialize the relatively short period of time when this plot of downtown land supported an off-ramp. The remnants are industrial and unfriendly. Maintaining a portion...
