I need more information with respect to funding. By extending the subway past Steeles, there will be significant growth in the vicinity and of course north of Steeles. That means significant increases in ridership and heavier cost loads for the TTC to absorb. How much will Vaughan / Markham fund...

This thread angers me. It's a reminder that we Torontonians will let just about every potential improvement to this city slide. Earlier in the thread the term Mediocrity was used to describe University ave - I'd use that to describe Toronto city planners / politicians. Absolutely ridiculous...

Not yet anyways.

We need more public art.

Well lets hope that's the case, although I'm sure we can all agree here that there will be an extremely loyal following. Remember people still pick up the SUN for their news. (Sorry to any SUN readers out there).

Now the question is are we prepared to defend it?

If you haven't read this article yet you definitely should. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/economy/whats-wrong-with-ontario-and-how-to-make-it-right/article2342849/

Time to build a time machine and find out for sure!

Anyone think this is going to spur any intensification along Don Mills, just north of Sheppard? Also there's a stretch of land between Leslie and Don Mills that looks like its locked into being residential - I'm not sure whether anyones going to be able to build along there. I know there was...

I've decided that I'm going to remake the Toronto you belong here promo. Must wait till the seasons change over (although looking outside today you could have fooled me that its winter time).

Are we convinced that Transit City will be saved?

Any idea why intensification was never pursued? I'm seriously at a loss when I try to understand the historical context for some of the decisions Toronto implemented. Are any legitimate efforts underway to seriously intensify the population of Toronto? Recently I've been hearing that the...

I'm still not clear on the justification surrounding an extension of the Sheppard line to Vic park. For a price tag of $1 billion what possible benefit will that have? What will the increased ridership be? I understand that the Consumer rd block has potential to be built up further, but does...

I'm curious to know, does the city have an official policy on population growth? Are we just trying to keep things steady, is there an active interest in making the city much denser, etc? My understanding is the big ticket to spurring economic and population growth is directly linked to high...

I figured I'd try and add some new life to this thread, starting with a skyline video, with footage from this afternoon. This will be the first among many additions to come. NEW YEAR SKYLINE 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9Q1g153JACo

Does anyone know why that massive plot of land located on Wellesley between Yonge and Bay hasn't been developed. Massive opportunity there to extend development towards Yonge and build up Wellesley as an important corridor. Please forgive the following question in the event it should have an...

Having worked there, I was familiar with the finances, from employee wages which were kept at a minimum all the way up the managerial chain, cost of supplies (the food was supplied by sysco) wouldn't break the bank, maintenance I believe may have been their biggest concern given all the...

Olympics in Toronto? Can someone refresh my memory on how long it took Montreal to pay off their olympic stint? 30 years? Olympic Stadium is now empty as well, thanks Expos. It's one thing for a Canadian city which is located next to a mountain to host the winter games, but a city like...

Would be nice to see another office building tower enter the scene, perhaps incorporating the existing design elements of Stollery's outer facade. Also it would make a nice addition to the underground network in the area.
