@g_meslin Makes me angry each time I walk through it. Why can't Torontonians have nice things? It took less than a day for some anonymous bureaucrat to desecrate this urbane space, years in the making. 4 years later and no one has the power to undo it. We need a public realm advocate!

Gateway to Toronto.

@gmbutts It's not all about "my rights". With rights, we also have responsibilities. We need both to have a properly functioning civil society.

People who demand their own rights without respecting the rights of others aren’t free. They’re preschoolers.

@SajeckiPlanning @StephenWickens1 @alexbozikovic @PWBaugh @benmyers29 @PlannerSean @BlairScorgie @JohnLorinc @GreggLintern @pothen @BrownStorey @ChrisSpoke @HumeChristopher Completely agree. The OP still includes language (unhelpfully watered down by OPA 480) saying that transition can be achieved in a variety of ways, angular planes being one of many. Yet, there seems to be a hyper-focus on angular planes as the ONLY way to achieve transition.

@StephenWickens1 @alexbozikovic @PWBaugh @benmyers29 @PlannerSean @BlairScorgie @JohnLorinc @GreggLintern @pothen @BrownStorey @ChrisSpoke @HumeChristopher Bumping a relevant article for an added point that, “the empty spaces left by the stepped back portions of a mid-rise building represent apartments that didn’t get built, and therefore places where people can’t live.” #displacementpolicies spacing.ca/toronto/2021/0…

So, to what degree does the 'angular plane' work against Toronto's mid-rise Avenues development policies? Discuss. @alexbozikovic @PWBaugh @benmyers29 @PlannerSean @BlairScorgie @JohnLorinc @GreggLintern @pothen @BrownStorey @ChrisSpoke @HumeChristopher @SajeckiPlanning

Congratulations Emma!

@giulio_plans Just interested. Do you know how many of the 140,000 are actually under construction? And, by approved, does that mean final site plan approval?

The @geo_uoft & @UofTPlanners have selected Lindsay Dale-Harris as the recipient of the 2018 PAC Distinguished Planning Alumnus Award. Well deserved Lindsay, congratulations!

@chrisbateman When you see a photo like this, I think it's hard to argue, whatever our continuing trials and tribulations, that Toronto isn't a better, more vibrant and interesting city than it was 50 years ago!

1968 full car dominance in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood. This view is now one of the most popular in the city with tourists. Front St. could still be improved, but it's a lot better than this. twitter.com/YUDLbot/status…
