It would be nice if they added some benches in the park for people to sit.

Yes - i think Toronto's building boom has gone to far. I think of all the condo units coming on the market in the next 2 year and overwhelmed and there are still massive projects planned. I am all for intensification that is thoughtful and takes into acccount neighbour needs and...

If the Church owns the building and their design proposal is within the existing bylaw governing that site - is there really anyway to stop what they want to do? Not that it isn't worthy of debate. Just curious.

all i can think of when I see this rendering is how much this towers look like all the towers lining Bay street - Yonge St is slowly going to turn into Bay

More from the Star today on the lawsuit. I have mixed feelings. I don't take pleasure in people losing money but I do think people need to do their due diligence when making investment decisions. I also want Trump hotel to be successful because it brings jobs and adds to the economy. However...

i think one of the problems with the park is that its cut off by condo's college park mall etc. I think people forget that its there.
