Toronto Corners you would like to see re-developed

vancouverite/to'er · September 23rd, 2007, 08:52 PM

Make posts about any Toronto corner/intersection you think is in desperate need of redevelopment and ideas you have for that particular corner. If you can, feel free to include pics of that corner and/or fantasy drawings/renderings. Have fun!!

Dundas East and anything, Bathurst/Queen, Sherbourne/Queen, Front/Spadina.

They should do something at the corner of Yonge Street and Dundas Street, to pick things up a bit and add a bit of spark!

Spadina and College

CrazyCanuck · September 24th, 2007, 02:59 AM

No need for a wink, Spadina and College could use a little fixer upper.

Gerrard and Bay - SE corner - the parking lot next to the hotel.

UD2 · September 24th, 2007, 04:10 AM

the entire China town

valantino · September 24th, 2007, 05:55 AM

I love the Bay Bloor intersection. - very 70's chic.

Yonge and Wellesley....north-west and south-west corner.....

King and Spadina - I like the intersection, but hate the Budget at the SE corner

Yes, get rid of the homeless, and replace the Burger King with 30 story mixed use goodness

Main and Danforth.

It has Subway, Streetcar, Bus, GO Train for mass transit. There is some density, but this is an area that should have much more. Plus it is a pretty tired nabe, but showing signs of revival.

North West corner of Bay and King ............... replace with brand new 1500 foot FCP.

1) Bay & Wellington, north east corner, instead of this (ugly) mid rise building
2) Dundas & Victoria (at Dundas Square), instead of Hakim Optical
3) Simcoe & Front, north east corner (instead of the parking lot)
4) Richmond & York, south east corner (instead of the mid rise building with a Starbucks, as far as I can remember)

... I can't remember the other ones, but if I were still in TO, there would probably be many other ones!!

Dundas E and Church st or Dundas E and Jarvis St. Both are like 3rd world countries and just minutes from the, so called, heart of the city. I can't believe condos or hotels aren't going up in those areas, considering how close they are to Younge st. (and the subway) I'd like to see a new central library built around there.

***Taller, Better*** · September 26th, 2007, 05:16 AM

I'd like to see the buildings on the North East corner of Church/Wellesley (where the Pizza Pizza is) restored to their former Victorian glory.
