In a semidiurnal cycle the high and low tides occur around 6 hours and 12.5 minutes apart.

The Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia is home to the highest tides in the world

I would take the dormant subway retail and turn it into incubator spaces to help nurture entrepreneurs and launch ideas for local shops. An opportunity to provide small affordable spaces with access to lots of foot traffic.

Perfect Toronto emblem: beloved urban tree getting its roots crushed by careless utility contractors (who of course can’t block off any of the car space)

What a shambles. Christie Pits, one of the busiest parks in Toronto. City of Toronto PFR

North American streets are hopelessly bloated. A constant waste of money to create places that are dangerous and ugly.

Alex Bozikovic That pool would have been epic there!! With the restaurants too. A proper hang out space for the neighbourhood. ausma malik

Claude Cormier's concept for Ordnance: a swimming pool, two restaurants, a belvedere. This could have been perhaps Toronto's best public space.

1/3 Last summer, we had the most severe #wildfire season in our history. #ClimateChange continues to bring more intense #weather extremes to Canada.

This design is very weak. Conceptually, spatially, ecologically, a big nothing. What a missed opportunity.

For context, University Avenue is 45 metres, Spadina Avenue is 36 metres, St. Clair Avenue West is 27-30 metres, the central segment of Eglinton Avenue is 27 metres, Bay Street is 27 metres, Danforth Avenue is 27 metres, and Bloor Street is 20-27 metres.

The revised master plan for Villiers Island incorporates the roadway design standards and tower separation distances of an outer GTA municipality while benefitting from the location, services, infrastructure and amenities of inner-city Toronto. #TOpoli

Urban design work by Karakusevic Carson Regent Park in Toronto. A ground plane that is active, engaging and basically car-free. Exemplary.

Imagine a city planning department that says this true thing out loud:

Honestly, this City is so bad at public realm design and implementation. We consistently fail to get the fundamentals right.

Alex Bozikovic Olivia Chow Key point Alex Bozikovic 'here is where the new heads of parks and planning need to collaborate. Toronto could have a future as a much denser metropolis with a rich array of common spaces that provide public luxury. City staff must be prepared to dream this up, and to deliver it'

This is a chronic problem, and it's a black eye on City of Toronto PFR and City Hall.

Alex Bozikovic City of Toronto PFR It is shocking that this is allowed to continue year after year. Seems to be a definite culture problem at City of Toronto PFR

Mayor Olivia Chow needs to be involved with the hire of the new head of Parks Forestry and Recreation. There is an opportunity for a hard reset.
