There are already countless skyscrapers on the waterfront plus this site is in downtown**
Hate to tell you but the city has no other option but to grow upwards, especially if we are preserving the greenbelt.

I'd like to see European-style streets with performers and cultural events, food trucks, places for kids & teens and pretty, striking architecture with different materials. No more glass rectangles with ugly balconies, tired of seeing this uninspiring design of residential buildings.

I'd love to see a thriving arts&culture community. Please don't just designate or silo 'cultural space' as it's own thing. Consider these as opportunities for employment in towers. I'd like to see more arts groups, organisations and international design/film/music industries occupy the buildings. An example is how a major video game company Ubisoft opened up a location in Le Plateau, Montreal because of its creative scene. Attract more local and international creative companies like that and grow our artistic influence on the world.

Emphasis on walkability, urbanity, liveability and culture. I would not like to leave straight after work, I'd like to stay here and listen to live music or go to a dance performance and have a gelato at a nearby vendor. If we associate the places we work with places we also play, it improves our overall motivation and happiness of commuting to work. Squares and piazzas in Italy with patios, galleries, vendors and live music would be great here. Squares and streets need to be more than just street grids. Ensure retail streets are vibrant but also intimate in a way, ensure signage and streets are welcoming - another factor 'Romantic' or charming and pretty.

Architecturally please include red brick is as many as the buildings as possible and not just the feature building. Also not just square everywhere, triagle peaks, detail to the brick work. I love the industrial look you are going for on the street level but be sure to stay away from concrete industrial (grey) and stick to red brick the the community was founded on.

East Harbour will be able to sell itself as an attractive place to live and work only because of how close it is to the thriving mixed-rent high street on Queen St. East, where businesses that could never anchor a condo tower draw in the new homeowners and creatives that live in condo towers: it would be wonderful to see this formally acknowledged through a partnership between the local BIA's and the East Harbour team, so that the neighbourhood as a whole can be made greater than the "sum of parts". I'd like to see more presentation of metrics that demonstrate how the East Harbour and related development is driving the greater success of the community.

Think of some the world's coolest neighbourhoods or district, learn what makes them intriguing and stand out and learn from that. I am tired of these repetitive, banal developments all over Toronto that have poor public realm and prioritise the wealthy. I want to see a development that will make me feel proud to be Torontonian and that will prioritise those people who make this city cool. Artists...

Build people-focused streets, take away North American car mentality it brings congestion and takes away liveability. The distillery district in Toronto is a good example. Also think of design and Architecture as important to citizens, not something that comes last. It's what makes a district feel inviting and inspiring.
