Very impressive development! Some Naysayers out there.... I'm not one of them!

That is like taking a photo from below your chin. You do not take photos of Vancouver from that angle.

Love this pic never realized how green Toronto's suburbs are very impressive.

New Westminster in foreground, Metrotown in center, and to the right Downtown far off in the distance.

I wonder how much taking this from the top of 3 Civic would add to this view

They seriously need to replace that mini-airport with a park/beaches and small bridge. The inner harbour would look amazing filled with yachts and sailboats.

That's an awfully big and valuable (both in its cost and in its use to the city) piece of land to just turn into some trees and grass that already exist in abundance surrounding it.

I'd rather see it redeveloped into some sort of car-free, mid & low-rise community with canals, narrow streets & building frontages, a beach-front strip, dramatic harbour promenades, that sort of thing.

It's a better use of the land, and an opportunity to create a really bold and exciting piece of urbanity.

I'm quite happy with the airport (use Porter a lot!) but if it were to go, I'd rather Monkeyronin's idea than simply an extension of the island park. A neighbourhood there would be pretty amazing. Even if it weren't quite as dense but something like some of the California beach communities with super narrow streets.

WhipperSnapper · #**6299** Posted **Jun 15, 2015, 12:36 AM**

Last thing we need is more island park space. I'm not too keen on a master planned community either. I happen to find the airport an asset eventhough the flight path is over my backyard. Yachts and planes are family afterall.

Beedok · #**6300** Posted **Jun 15, 2015, 12:43 AM**

I'd say that if they need to get rid of the airport, then high rises all the way. That would look very dramatic to have another clump right on the island. (Probably not the most feasible though.)
