Recently went to the UK for a couple weeks and spent some time in Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, and London. Some thoughts and photos below: Inspiration for the former Rossdale Power Plant: - Battersea Power Station (London): They have turned this former coal power station into a fairly large...

Just got back from the UK and Unite Students have done a good job of developing some nice looking student housing. I particularly liked some of the buildings in Manchester (example 1 and example 2). Even some of the more basic buildings are way better than this (example 3 and example 4). Shame...

I agree with the pick up area east of the parkade. It actually works really well as it is much less busy than the front arrivals area. It would be a great addition if the walkway there was more climate controlled in the winter. We got back last week from a trip and met our ride over there and...

Or maybe the Holiday Inn or Double Tree.

Would be neat if someone did like an Enbridge 2 and used a similar design for continuity maybe with some hotel and residential.

I'm not convinced the 66 Street interchange is even essential, especially in an environment where it would be valuable funds for the City to save (or not have to pay extra for if over budget already)
