That's false. She implemented the Avenues zoning plan, which is transforming streets primarily in the suburbs. She's the reason that Scarborough is getting two LRT lines ON TOP of the subway extension.

My suspicion is that she will support the existing subway + LRT plan. Not worth losing votes in Scarborough. She'll call the plan a great compromise and good for placemaking in Scarborough Centre, which was her official line while she was chief planner.

I wish the redesign wasn't so fin-like.... it's as if someone cut the Ryugong Hotel into thirds, and transported one to Toronto o_O

First of all, only 3-to-1 decided voters prefer Tory. Quite a few people don't know who Keesmaat is yet. Quite a few haven't decided yet. She has nowhere to go but up. Tory has nowhere to go but down. Second of all, it seems like you're equating the candidacy of an accomplished and well-spoken...

I'm fairly certain that all it would take is a good lawyer and an injunction to prevent any provincial legislation from changing the October 2018 municipal election process. 2022 is another story. Will anyone take initiative?

Shame they're not turning that No Frills parking lot on Front Street into a park. It's going to look especially silly with all the surrounding lots developed.

I think he runs in University-Rosedale now. At least he did for the provincial election. Maybe he doesn't live in the new Ward 19?

I've been waiting a while to use this phrase, and I'm gonna use it now: horrifically banal.

Maybe 4 years from now!

This is what the City is angry about. The Sidewalk deal is for 12 (?) acres, and they hope to extend these services to all 800 acres in the Portlands in the future. It seems like somebody in their media department who doesn't know much about the project took that to mean an 800 acre project, and...

This building gets better as they remove elements. Now if they could just stick to one colour of brick...

If you live in Southwestern or Northern Ontario. Also some ridings in Brampton. This election will be decided in the suburban 905, however. The PC's are holding strong in the polls there. In the most recent ones, it seems the resurgent ONDP is only taking votes away from the OLP in the 905, and...

For me, the largest factor in favour of a Queen alignment is the massive disruption that construction would cause on King street. If we can avoid tearing up downtown's most important east-west thoroughfare, then we should. I'd prefer a Richmond or Adelaide alignment, but I'll take Queen over...

They haven't started planning it yet because there isn't enough political motivation or pressure to extend it westward.

YESSSS finally these lots are getting filled in. Crossing my fingers for red brick.

If only all standard Toronto condos looked like this one...

You had me at holdouts, and lost me at Liberty Village. This project has the best potential of all the megadevelopments to avoid the fate of Liberty Village- they are purposefully including smaller retail spaces that front two major roads near a subway station. It's not an isolated pocket of...

No no no. A yellow brick Selby with wedding cake tiers, some curves, and Robert AM Stern-style "art-deco ripoff details" tastefully added. That's cool to hear. Mod's projects are solid; the care taken in their work is apparent.

In my dream world, the new building would take inspiration from the existing building and be a yellow brick Selby with art deco flourishes.... As if aA would ever do that.

Different era, same idea. More crammed. More stubby.
