    Toronto 2 Cawthra Square | 206.97m | 63s | BV Realty Partners | ZAS Architects

    Just to add detail to this for the room. This application covers all the SFH on this section of Cawthra. The image below shows the most easterly property within the application, and then some of adjacent lot to the east: **** Amusing realization. The Block Context plans show a new public...

    Toronto 70-104 Brownville | ?m | ?s | Elysium

    They got their idea from the fact this parcel is within the Mt. Dennis PMTSA And Is shifted to Mixed Use under the Mt. Dennis Secondary Plan: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2022/ey/bgrd/backgroundfile-227075.pdf I will leave it @innsertnamehere to explain the inconsistencies.....

    General cycling issues (Is Toronto bike friendly?)

    This is not correct. The statement was about congestion in Toronto writ large, and therefore the problem about which some drivers are understandably plaintive. The majority of congestion as experienced by the majority of drivers occurs on highways, followed, typically, by select roads which...

    Toronto 2 Cawthra Square | 206.97m | 63s | BV Realty Partners | ZAS Architects

    There isn't really a formal process for a type of idea that is rarely proposed, let alone implemented. In the context of a Planning Application, you would want to raise the idea w/the Planner on the file; but ideally, directly engage both Parks, and the local Councillor. For all intents...

    Toronto 2004-2008 Bathurst Street | 68.65m | 17s | Orchard West | AUDAX

    ^^^ and this why David's middle name is 'chaos'. Shake it up he says, just cause its Wednesday! Rumour has it he also really enjoyed "The Room" as cinema for much the same reason. He hates bad; unless its so bad, its good!

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I'm with @Cambry Ardship here............. 'huh'? I don't get the connection your drawing here. Housing, in particular, is far more expensive relative to income than was the case 3 decades ago. That was the point being drawn; while we could get mired in the details as to all that's...

    Toronto 2004-2008 Bathurst Street | 68.65m | 17s | Orchard West | AUDAX

    Ok, I'm leaving most of the detail here for @Paclo The Planning Report was uploaded entirely sideways, and that's just too much work at the moment. What I can do is chip in the site as is, per Streetview: The three SFH here. While I don't hate the pastiche here, on its own, it looks...

    Toronto 530 Yonge Street | 224.8m | 68s | KingSett Capital | Giannone Petricone

    @AlbertC with the scoop above.........and a good one too! Lets see what I can add: From the Planning Report, site as it is: Site Plan: Ground Floor Plan: Elevator Ratio: 6 elevators to 860 units or 1 elevator per 143.3 units @Paclo @HousingNowTO - No...

    Toronto 2451-2495 Danforth Avenue | 122.08m | 35s | First Capital | superkül

    After a quiet period........... I have some news: Site Plan: Ground Floor Plan: Elevator Ratio: 6 elevators to 620 units or 1 elevator per 103.3 units. Parking ratio (resident only) 190 spaces to 620 units, a surprisingly high 0.3 for this site right next to a major...

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    A report to the next meeting of Toronto's Infrastructure and Environment Ctte, seeks to empower additional divisional staff to enforce by-laws around trees.......... I don't think most here will find the details terribly exciting...

    Road Safety & Vision Zero Plan

    A report to the next meeting of the City's Infrastructure and Environment Ctte responds to a Council request to look into mandating side guards on trucks. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-250547.pdf The conclusion is that regulating private commercial vehicles...

    Toronto Chelsea Green (was 33 Gerrard) | 297.25m | 90s | Great Eagle | a—A

    If you are asking if plans to redevelop here have ceased.............. The answer is 'No'. However, given that this site doesn't even have SPA.........further revisions are certainly possible.

    Toronto Rail Deck Development | 239.43m | 72s | LIUNA | Sweeny &Co

    Casinos are a dime a dozen now, they're everywhere. IF Toronto made a serious play, we would kill any money-making potential at Rama and Niagara. There is no great windfall to be made. Also the City continues to have an anti-casino policy.

    Toronto Rail Deck Development | 239.43m | 72s | LIUNA | Sweeny &Co

    Wait for a time and place when something better can be delivered. A park is not the logical priority here, if and when something happens here, some considerable time into the future, lets shift the parkland contribution to other nearby sites where something better can be achieved. I can't...

    Toronto Cherry Place | 55.7m | 13s | Rekai | Montgomery Sisam

    Ok there DSC........... sure, you're not a youngin anymore........... But you're still more vital, energetic and active not only than most people 1/2 your age; but most people 1/3 your age! You're not going anywhere 'gracefully'........... and we're all better off for it. I expect an invite...

    Toronto Birchley Park | 46.2m | 12s | Diamond Kilmer | TACT Architecture

    Since you asked........... I took a peek.......... They only just got their permits for the first building in October: Oddly, I can't find a valid Drain and Site Service Permit, which would be a bit late at this point...... maybe I just missed it, each block of townhouses has its own permit...

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I don't think this is a serious obstacle. The presiding judge has set up a Case Management schedule that moves the earliest resolution date to May ' 25. By which time the permit for road occupation will be down to 7 months left on it anyway. *** They also have a valid permit in place for the...

    Toronto Rail Deck Development | 239.43m | 72s | LIUNA | Sweeny &Co

    No it should not. However, I will argue that what is proposed here is not progress. I don't particularly desire the park here at all, for reasons I've outlined many times, a park on a deck is a bad park, its also a hideously expensive park and there are far better and cheaper ways to add...
