yes! Finally some visual evidence of this one from street level :)

So would I! If I didn't have to pay for it.

Wow... they're actually seriously considering a GO train to Niagara? That's so, dare I say, ambitious. One note of advice though, I see they have the route ending in old downtown Niagara. They should really extend this all the way to the falls/hotel area... no one goes to Niagara's old...

Orange is the only one that made me go "wow," though I think the render manipulates colors a bit to make it fit the neighbourhood better. Green's also good if they chose a more orangy/brown brick color to match neighbouring buildings more smoothly. orange: green:

Like TOareafan said, whether you insource or outsource toll collection you still end up having to pay for a bunch of toll cameras and a room full of people to collect the bills. And mostly irrelevant but I can't help pointing it out anyways: IBM designed and coded the Stockholm and London...

And where do you propose to put all that traffic? The Gardiner's already clogged up half the day. It's AADT's about 160,000 vehicles/day around Spadina... how many lanes do you think the Lakeshore would need to handle that traffic? (Hint: about 8 lanes each way) Or should we just forsake the...

The Gardiner's too cool to drive on to tear it down haha. An elevated expressway isn't intrinsically dreary or ugly. Whoever designed the Gardiner just had no know sense of aesthetics. It's like those nasty brutalist buildings from the 60's (ps the Gardiner was also built in the 60's...

I'm against tolls And my reason is simple: tolls would create a superfluous bureaucracy. Let's think about all the reasons for tolls: 1 - Decrease highway demand 2 - Encourage public transit 3 - Fund highway maintenance 4 - Fund public transit Yet increasing the gas tax accomplishes all of...

This nascent area's still very rough around the edges but you're absolutely right, it screams of potential. Once its basic urban form takes shape (buildings around the ACC - Ice, 18 York - are done), this place is going to need a lot of refining, like those ass nasty gardens by Convention...

Haha I don't know if it's in the same league as ground zero: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cfloryan/2893206655/sizes/l/ But the hole looks a lot more impressive than when I last walked by a month ago! It'll will definitely turn the Yonge-College area which is nothing more than bleh today...

36 floors.. 20 more to go. Wow this one's rising slowly! Understandable though given the unique floorplans. I never really thought about how much efficiency is gained by making each floor identical. I guess there really is a non-negligible learning curve for construction crews.

Looks nice. Is there any street life around the base of this tower?
