Thanks for clarifying, TOarea fan. It's fascinating watching these GTA "edge cities" getting their public transit act together. My wish would be to see one massive linked syste: grade separated LRT going forward in Hamilton, Highway 2 in Durham, in Kitchener, Highway 7 or Steeles in Markham and...

I think the "no height no shadow no noise" ship has sailed for the NIMBYs in Yorkville and on Yonge. I wonder how they will react to Holt Renfrew tower and the planned giant at Cumberland Terrace?

Will the Hurontario LRT eventually link with the proposed LRT for Queen Street in Brampton? If so, that would be a very extensive system.

This is a pretty big site. Does anyone have any idea what could be going in there

I thought the Yonge/Bloor Bay was slated to become a Sak's Fifth Avenue? Re: the One Bloor East retail portion: do we know if they are making space for a dept. store or other high end retailers? I am also curious about what will be done for One Bloor West (Stollery's) and just south of...

If the Hurontario LRT goes through, will the station be attached to the mall like in Yorkdale, Fairview or STC, or will it be separated like Bayview Village?

I'd say these would be the best routes for future LRT: NORTH SOUTH: Islington, Kipling, Jane, Dufferin, Bathurst, Don Mills, Victoria Park, Kennedy, Markham, Morningside EAST WEST: Wilson, Finch east, Lawrence, Steeles, Highway 7, Ellesmere, Kingston/Highway 2 If these stops are given...

Yorkdale is resembling that very ritzy shopping mall in Costa Mesa, California. Several brand names are found there, rather than in any of Los Angeles basin 's several downtown nodes. I have feeling that the next area for "ritzy" shops will be the Front Street/Waterfront area. Are they going to...

Excluding the current political transit Sargasso Sea the city seems to be moored in, what is the likelihood of some future fed/prov/city approval for burying or grade separating the Cross tow west from Mount Dennis and east from Laird? I know we've discussed the western Richview Corridor option...

Slightly off topic, but didn't some politicians in York Region want the way to Canada's Wonderland or further afield? Wouldn't this be similar to the old Exhibition lines on the London Underground, which were used for special events? I can't see a year-round Wonderland stop being busy, unless...

I wonder if the height of the towers has been increased? I also wonder if some of the good news is about the mall that was proposed next to the casino. Wasn't it supposed to be as large as the Eaton Centre in size?

I can see the new subway going to Finch and McCowan before Malvern. It will be probably easier to make a new line straight up to the Woodside Square area, which is fairly high density. If subway money were no object, a Finch "pre metro" from Woodside to Yonge and then linking with the FWLRT to...

Is there any likelihood of the developers reverting this to a very tall one tower concept? The Holt Renfrew Tower seems to be going for big so a building of similar size or more could probably be given the go ahead here.

Does anyone know what is happening to the site across the street, namely the current Stollery's site?

Yet another glaring example of a foreign elephant coming in only to be confused when the local mice don't take to the cheese as well as they hoped. This is *not* America, as the old David Bowie song goes. Let's hope they get a clue and get it together. I have heard from people that some stores...

This is true. From what I have heard about places supposedly more "livable" than us (like NYC, Chicago, Vancouver, Melbourne and Montreal), there is little "cross-cultural" contact within the gay communities. Hell, even reading some of the comments on American gay message boards about subjects...

Interesting news! Does Oshawa have the population/growth for a Sq1 sized mall in that area? Will it be close to the expanded 407?

This reminds me: has anyone heard anything about the plans for the "Green P" parking spot on Wellesley just east of Yonge, across from the subway station? There was a mock-up image online awhile back that showed its enormous potential. I wonder if it could someday be one of the tallest sites in...

The "eight (8) stations" on the Scarborough LRT is a surprise. Currently we have: Kennedy, Lawrence East, Ellesmere, Midland, Scarborough (Town) Centre and McCowan. Will the final two be stations on the proposed "Malvern" extension (Bellamy, Markham/Centennial Progress, Sheppard/McCowan and...

I wonder if this will be the first local outpost of Nordstrom's Rack? Weren't they rumoured to be looking for a launch before the main Nordstrom's department stores opened?
