I second you on that ..............i though we talking about the Eglinton LRT.......not municipal finance and real estate

Nice design but really go big or go home. Why are all the office proposals in toronto so short in height. cant they partner with an organization and make it a mixed use project. For the area its in it too short and will be hidden by the other tower. This is the same issue with the proposed...

tell your friends the feelings are mutual. Most people I know in Toronto tell me Montreal is overrated and its infrastructure is crumbling as we speak. They tell don’t waste my money going there for vacation.:o

The original debate was not intended to take into account economic and social aspects, it was supposed to be based on building and architecture. If we were looking at the entire picture, yes Toronto wins. As a black male I can tell you I was jocked to see the amount of segregation and poverty...

I've have yet to see one iconic proposal in Toronto's latest condo boom. I had the chance to visit Chicago last summer, and I can tell you that they have many iconic buildings including the John Hancock Tower and the former Sears Tower. I would suggest that whoever is into urban design and...

I only referred to York Region because they are the one pushing for the TTC to extend north pass Steelss while in reality there nothing stoping them from building their own subway network and pushing it south to connect with existing stations. Do you see the New York subway network going into...

I think people are miss understanding what I'm trying to get across. I'm not trying to start a 905 vs 416 debate infact I live in Ajax myself. The fact of the matter is the TTC should only be responsible for transit within Toronto. Isn't that one of the the reasons why its called Toronto Transit...

If York Region wants subways let them build their own lines with their own subway cars. The TTC needs to stop bending over backward for the 905 (ie York Region). YRT/Viva should be looking at ways to build their own subway network, with lines connecting to existing ttc subway stations...

Not sure why Metrolinx is supporting an underground line pass Don Mills, the line can easily be elevated thus still respecting Mayor Ford’s vision of keeping transit off surface roads. In addition what is the point of using low floor LRV's on the Eglinton line if it’s never going to run on the...

Toronto needs more of this. http://www.celsias.com/media/uploads/admin/chp_skyscrapers_chicago_1.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Chicago_River_buildings_(DDima).jpg http://www.photos.a-vsp.com/fotodb/37_chicago_buildings.jpg but hey who am I kidding in another 20...

it begs the question whether this latest building boom that has been going on for 11 years now is making are city ugly. Glass glass glass. Thats all you see , just look at city place.

It looks tackcy and boaring. This type of design has been done before. Tired of seeing all these ocean colour glass boxes poping up all over the city. The only thing good about this projet is that its not a "tower in the park concept" and its adding density to the much needed suburbs.

Oh it was a secondary Plan Gweed123 heres the link below http://www.toronto.ca/planning/official_plan/pdf_secondary/1_agincourt_oct2009.pdf

I'm not sure they would go with an elevated option past Agincourt considering it would run right into the Metrogate develeopment. They already completed the two taller towers and work has started on the smaller ones. In addition I read a report a long time ago stating that a rapid tansit line...

What are you talking about how is Scarborough screwed if the Eglinton line connectes to the SRT? FYI a subway extension of the Bloor Danforth wouldnt give scarborough residents a direct ride too downtown either, they would still need to transferr onto the YUS to head south. Considering we have...

yes thats the quote

:confused:There's a new article out in the Star .It say's P3 would work better on Eglinton because they could use automated technology like skytrain or conventional LRT's..............................Can some please explain to me how that makes it more feasible as oppose to just a regular subway.

If it takes 50, 60, and 70s towers to financially support the Sheppards subway, then I welcome that, it’s not like we’re putting them in the middle of Guildwood, Rosedale or Forest Hill. Toronto needs to GROW UP literally more towers along Sheppards would be a welcome addition. “add a little...

In the wake of the recent articles published in the Star and Globe in Mail what does this mean for Eglinton? I felt the article was a bit ambiguous when it came to talking about plans for Eglinton? All it said was that it would run straight through to STC. It didn’t really clarify the type of...

You know that’s one thing I never got with Metrolinx and the Ontario Government. They invested so much on a subway to Vaughan City Centre or whatever it’s called but how bout MCC. It is already an established City Centre yet there are no current plans to provide it with a higher order of transit...
