What Bay Street needs is both residents and somewhere and something for them to do at street level - other than going to work.

Yes, let's widen King Street along this stretch - and install a ROW streetcar for all the new residents! And let's widen the sidewalks, too. All sounds so easy to do, but it isn't.

So we can conclude from your comments that, since you are happy with the proposal, any concerns or even opposition is then wrong - even if there would possibly be some from the elected city councillor for the ward - which doesn't seem evident at this point (in a ward, might I remind you...

And you would know this how? Once again, the focus on height seems to be a singular concern. King-Spadina has a planning regime in place where building heights gradually drop from Festival Tower moving westward toward Spadina. This proposal lies to the east of festival Tower. There are some...

Thanos is correct, a majority of the people did not elect Ford. With a turn-out of only 53.2%, one can say that only a majority of those who voted (47.1%) voted for Ford. Smitherman received 35.6% and Pantalone had 11.7% of the votes. As for your personal view that those who did not vote...

If you watch the posted video, you will see that, according to Ghery, any images shown are exploratory, and that as a result, he was anticipating criticism.

It wouldn't surprise if something was cancelled. There are a lot of proposals in the area. Not all of them are likely to get built if the market flattens for a couple of years.

I agree, it does seem a little odd note to include a hotel in what is supposed to be a cultural and shopping destination. This might be something of a relief for the folks just down the way at King Blue - who also seemed to waiver at times about a hotel component. As for the height, all those...

Rome = Trump light strip. Uh huh.

The article doesn't speak to any "entitlement," but to potentially losing a unique corner of the city.

It's a perfectly appropriate place for an office tower.

I received a communication from the Condominium Owners Association of Ontario regarding restaurant row. It would appear that they've been hearing what I have heard from a couple of developers over the last few years: that there is a desire to redevelop restaurant row and replace it with a couple...

Did it indicate residential or hotel - or both?

Happy to see that the office component is increasing in size and that the ramp is to come down. Double win.

Directly? No, but he did do the following: I remarked that: In his response, AG cited the following from my original post: To which he subsequently added his own comments: His quotes of my original remarks were related to plunking his favourite type of building size on the Elgin and...
