    Toronto Toronto | KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Allied | Bjarke Ingels Group

    Can’t wait to see the inevitable drone shots.

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

    I don’t know much about the site plan generally, but this public realm looks terribly hostile to pedestrians (especially the quoted image).

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

    I enjoy hyperbole. It brings light to my world.

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

    The horrific station depths on Line 5 really reframes the whole underground vs surface debate for me. Because if I lived at Victoria Park & Eglinton, I truly don’t know if I’d prefer navigating these cavernous underground stations, to dealing with a handful of red lights on the surface. It...

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

    I really don’t understand how Union Station is so nice now but the condition of the Crosstown seems to poor in comparison. You’d think Metrolinx would be better at station maintenance given their experience with GO Transit.

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

    It’s wonderful that Line 5 is operational, but the design, construction and maintenance of these station just feels like complete amateur hour. I’m talking about everything from the depth of stations and poor layouts, to the water intrusion issue, the illegible maps and wayfinding, the poor...

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

    When talking to normies about the Crosstown, their #1 complaint over and over again is station depth and layout. I’ve had multiple people bring it up to me unprompted.

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

    The floors at Cedervale Station were soaked today, and multiple people slipped. I’ve seen reports from across Line 5 that stations are soaking in water. What is going on? I recall rumours of water intrusion issues during construction. Were those issues never fixed? Why is Metrolinx doing such a...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    And they should do the same with Doug Ford’s corrupt Ontario Place deal.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    ONDP should probably run on deleting this airport, and turning it into public space, if they want to win some sweet downtown seats. This airport proposal seems to be negatively polarizing people against the airport.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    The problem with politicians of an advanced age is that they tend to be psychologically anchored to whenever they were 25. So these politicians tend to speak, and make decisions, as if it’s still the 1970s. Their politics are borderline anachronistic.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Btw, I find the way that Ford, Carney and the Airport are going about this to be incredibly boneheaded. It’s as if they’re trying to cultivate as much opposition as possible.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Also, with HSR coming, this proposal makes no sense. This airport basically exists to shuttle people between Toronto and Montreal. If you need to go outside that range, just take the UPX to person. In fact, now that I think about it, HSR is likely precisely the reason they want this airport...

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Doug Ford isn’t doing this for the benefit of Toronto, he’s doing it for his own gain. Especially after he was just caught trying to buy a private jet on taxpayer dollars. So, no, absolutely not. I will never support this.

    Billy Bishop Airport Expansion?

    Doug Ford is duplicitous, so I don’t support the proposal.
