Seems like a missed opportunity for the 'private laneway' that is being provided for vehicular access for this development won't be connected to the north-south laneway between Gladstone and Northcote that runs south from Argyle and dead ends exactly here.

Controversial take: Millennium Park is too big and is a border vacuum. Ours will be better. Our waterfront (Harbourfront) is already better than Chicago's.
Cool initiative, in theory, but this is much too little housing for this location. And this area is not lacking for parks. Should be something like 6 storeys here. Building this would leave at least three times the housing on the table.
