Just musing, today. We've seen a lot of action in Toronto in the past decade. What will be the next big thing? There are lots of things just getting underway but we all know what those are: condos, condos, and more condos.
Some dreams, while I've got time to kill:
Will our new administration at City Hall come up with a comprehensive way to make Yonge appealing?
Or maybe a big hair architect will get hired on to some local project (I am inspired by the proposed Ryerson Student Learning Centre idea at Yonge & Gould, if it were to become a reality, that would be cool).
Maybe sidewalk / streetscaping initiatives all over downtown. I know, I'm dreaming.
Or maybe (yawn) a couple of supertalls ... please, not just blocky things, something refreshing S.V.P. And preferably office buidings - we still have to fight to keep jobs downtown.
Maybe another public square or meeting place fronting on Yonge, this time on the west. I doubt that one. But it's undeniably a nice dream.
Does anyone out there care to muse with me? What's next? This city is on a roll, and I have a feeling the past decade has merely been setting the table - I think Toronto is in for a huge expansion, the kind that no one is expecting. Do tell, all you soothsayers.
