My point lies more with expanding capacity by removing the streetcar. Both street even today could use more space. Possibly the 504 could be relocated to Lake Shore/Bremner/Queens Quay with a Queen subway .

Scale is fine. They just are super tall in comparsion to the surrounding built form.

I'd settle for one line, but would love to see both a King and Queen subway line that extends out significantly to the east and west.

I feel you man, but with our unions, it'd cost an arm, a leg and a pancreas

There's built or being built. All that matters here on SSP. The high vacancy affects future proposals.

Can't wait for Telus Sky! Will be nice to have a slimmer tower to break up the bulk of the tallest towers.

Thankfully Telus Sky is half residential. Brookfield 2 won't be happening anytime soon though.

I had a chuckle over the commentary about the nightlife myself.. there really isn't a defined 'downtown' but the area in question is where the downtown is planned. ...not really an organic downtown in the traditional sense but most suburban cities end up having to create one. The only part of Mississauga which in my opinion has a downtown vibe if you will is Port Credit.
