Waterfront property with ample backyard space

The provincial government has way too much power on municipal manners. They should be making and be responsible for more broad manners or inter-city manners to help connect the different cities. This is insanely micro-managy. Toronto/GTA really ought to be its own province.

That's a dumb policy. I guess, don't be mad when I take the whole lane for my own safety? DoFo should really not be making Toronto-centric policies.

I've always said this, but infrastructure or design of public spaces in Toronto has and continues to be underwhelming and innovative. The butt-ugly art on the Union platforms is an example of this. The fact that most stations look like either relics of the past or are in a state of decay is an...

I haven't been to the area in a long time, but how are things shaping up? Is it starting to feel like an actual neighbourhood?

I'm not gonna lie, the new Dutch crossing feels like a different kind of danger. I've ridden it twice and navigating through that intersection is more challenging now (again in its own way) due to: the narrowing of the bike lane you're on on the other side of the intersection (splits into a...

I really dislike the proposed Ontario Place location. It suffers from the same issues, if not worse, as the current Science Centre which is the long disconnect between point A (entrance) and point B (the actual facility). The lake, while amazing in its own right is such a waste of space in the...

Wow, I can't believe I completely missed this, but the final design for the park seems to have been settled on. Sad to see that it won't feature a playground, but rather a fitness circuit...

Compared to a decade ago, we've made a huge amount of progress. Still a lot of work left to do, but we've come a long way.

Yeah, that Christie/Bloor intersection sucks. I have to drive there occasionally to get home and I practically take that turn on to Christie at a snail's pace. What drivers don't do is (1) watch for cyclists prior to the turn, (2) shoulder check, and (3) slow down or stop before taking the...

This is a good video and motivator for having a good rail network built in Canada. (Sigh, it'll never happen...)

What I struggle with is that none of these proposals make the most of the opportunity at hand. Any work to "revitalize" Ontario Place should create something that should bring tourists in, but also make locals incredibly proud. The counter proposals here are all a bit boring to me. In my...

This makes me extremely sad. I was hoping for some patio space or a better retail design that would be more welcoming or promote more foot traffic on Dupont. I'm concerned that this will make an already car centric part of the city even more car centric. People living on the south side of...

Amazing! Now if they could only figure out how to stop cars from going the wrong way, southbound on Shaw via Dupont. At least 15-20 cars per day go the wrong way.

The new bike lanes here on Shaw St look fantastic. Coupled with the direction change, local traffic has definitely quieted down. However, there are still so many drivers driving the wrong way. People in this city really don't know how to read signs.

Affordability I get, but this area doesn't have much heritage left. If it did, it's not anything that this building can provide, sadly.

Shaw St directly south of there is at like 90% capacity for street parking. I'd argue that we shouldn't remove parking, but rather try and figure out a smarter way to incorporate it. Overall though, this neighbourhood lacks garages and street parking as it is, so I'd be hard pressed to...

I hope they are actually able to keep this place clean once it's all said and done. That new tunnel that opened a couple of months ago was absolutely filthy within the week of opening.

Admittedly I haven't traveled to many stations on the GO network, but for those that I have gone to tend to be so far away from "town". Is there a reason why these stations aren't more central or there isn't a lot of commercial development in the area? I always envision our GO network to be...

It's appalling that Dupont St is as dangerous as it is. I live just off of it near Ossington and the speed at which cars travel through out the day is nuts. I'm surprised I see anyone biking there, because I did once and will never again. There's definitely room for bike lanes there, protected...
