I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Winnipeg is a greatly underrated city. What it lacks in height, it more than makes up for in character. Those last few shots are proof.

There is an unfunded plan by mayor Tory to make the west-side it into a park with or without highrises on the north side

With the value of land in Toronto being as it is, I think it's inevitable...just a question of when, and for what purpose.

Are the existing tracks built far enough apart for support columns? When the LIRR rebuilt its yard in the 80’s/90’s, it provisioned enough space to build supports. Even so, the cast of the Hudson Yards platform was well into the billions.

You didn’t even have to say “unfunded”.

As soon as I saw the words “mayor Tory” and “plan” in the same sentence, I knew nothing was going to come from it.

It will become a park. By the time it turns into a concrete plan Toronto will be so desperate for green space that it will have no choice but to turn all of it into park. I suspect once its done we'll see the same thing built to the east of Union Station.
