Well that's interesting...dare I say hopeful! Thanks for posting this. I hope there continues to be more info about this and similar projects.

Being overly touchy when your point is shown to be incorrect isn't exactly conducive to adult discourse.

Melbourne gets fairly chilly and wet in winter.

10 years!!!! Arrrggh!

Thanks for the insight.

Why the change in the building design? That was the best part!

I can't figure out who that sentence refers to - but that's not me. I thought that without the casino they wouldn't bother with the project. Why would anyone want to make casino supporters any more angry and bitter? I was kinda angry and bitter that we didn't get a casino. Pretty much every...

The whiners won. Like usual.

Interestingly, I just happened to come across an article from Melbourne Australia today called, "Building pride in our city: Looking at the property-development mistakes of the past can help ensure a better Melbourne in the future."...

Well I guess we are in serious agree to disagree territory. To recap:You think those arguments are weak...I think I'm the one who has actually made an argument for my perspective. You are in favour of bulldozing over swaths of heritage era homes along Bloor Street in order to make way for...

Couldn't agree more. The thing is is that these lanes in Melbourne were only established in the 90's because a few city officials had some vision and some balls. It's frustrating as someone who goes there every year to see a city that is so similar in so many ways to Toronto....and yet the...

Yeah right! In our dreams! Notice the date on that article...July 6 2011. When was the last time anyone heard about this scheme going forward? I've posted a couple images from Melbourne elsewhere - it's a city much more like Toronto than anywhere else I can think of...except for things they...

If we had the vision in this city to do something like what they've done with the downtown lanes in Melbourne it would be fantastic. I'm not holding my breath though. Here are some pictures I took last year:

No....my counter is that you can't respond to my point by simply writing a contrary assertion that isn't supported by anything. It doesn't amount to an argument....it's just someone saying "I'm right because I say so." My point was actually that the developers from the previous generation...

Ahhh! Of course! I've never driven one...but I do have good friends in a band called Massey Harris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CYpdrj3gmL4) that plays on Yonge Street if that's close.

Alright, I'll bite...What's an MF? Thanks for the link. Great site.

Nice!

Absolutely. And it's well past the point that we evolve out of it.

Your images make me wish there were some kind of signage rules for a street like Yonge Street.

You are talking as if there is some imaginary Toronto that should exist - and refusing to appreciate the character of the Toronto that does exist. You say: First of all, that's the first time I have ever heard anyone say anything like that - but even assuming it is true, why do you insist on...
