    Toronto Ontario Place: New Science Centre | 4s | Province of Ontario | Snøhetta + HPA

    Yikes I'm terrified that the happy looking cyclist, who is eyeing a relaxing saunter across the crosswalk, is about to be mowed down by the speedy red car approaching. Who thought it was a good idea to render the cars in fast motion?

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Wonder what kind of view might be available from the Ontario Line elevated guide way as you move towards the city!

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    As far as I have covered this line in the past. There should be zero problems between Mount Dennis and Science Centre (sorry Don Mills) after that, it could be a bit iffy. They just need signal priority at Leslie. There's a fair amount of track and a couple of crossovers between Don Mills and...

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Actually for me, this building is really helping set aside and enhance Toronto's Skyline more so than any other I can remember for a while, maybe up a few notches in the global order? Especially if you are on the Islands.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I hear ya, I was a season ticket holder at TFC for over 10 years (Usector, what!). I've driven, walked, cycled (bit far and uphill home and only if I went myself) and transited it down there many many times. Man, it took me less time to get home from the first MLS cup final (2016) in my car...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    Earlier this year, my son and I went to BMO for a TFC game, maybe about 20,000 fans there so no where near capacity. After the game we walked to Queen and Dufferin to avoid the crowds. I'm not exaggerating, we waited 45 minutes for a Dufferin bus to take us the Subway at Bloor, the first bus...

    Toronto Toronto | Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Hadn't been downtown in a while until last week, Forma really popped out to me coming through that area! 👍

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Place: West Island / Therme Spa | 45.15m | 9s | Therme Group | Diamond Schmitt

    I don't mind the park and Therme stuff as at least it's accesible for everyone to walk around, but this parking garage when across the road there are hundreds of spaces that go unused most days. UGH, remember there's also a big lot under the Exhibition centre and others on the north side nearer...

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Actually, it is even more important than that, as it is the bottom end of a major Enbridge gas distribution pipeline that comes via the Don Valley from north of Richmond Hill where it is supplied with transmission gas from others and now is also fed from other reinforced sources from further...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Can I use the tunnels as a bikeway in the meantime?

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I was out about a week ago, Mount Dennis undergoing a complete redo of the west entrance landscaping for some reason, although access is still there. Forest Hill, south entrance is part of a new condo and that's still finishing and needs some work. The rest are just fenced off and ready for...
