Nope, Filmores is leaving its current location as scheduled. They are, however, looking for a new spot. I'll mention to @Towered to pass along that you think the Annex would be a preferred location. ;)

First shoe dropping.......... took a bit longer than I thought: ^^^ That was June 18th last year.

This one has arrived in the AIC: Old AIC link: http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=5762675 Height: 43s Architect: BDPQ Tenure: Rental @Paclo From the above: Site Plan: Ground Floor Plan: Typical Floor Layout: Description: Elevator Ratio: 3 elevators...

The bolded is certainly a worry. Once Planning has chosen a preference, they certainly will need to stick to it at least for the length of one block. Variation will not do.

I address that possibility two posts above yours. Likely feasible, but not without challenges.

Hold on, this was appealed to the OLT, but I can't seem to dig up the case. We should figure out where this one stands, there's one OLT super sleuth fit for this job, and that's @Paclo

If you read the posts of many forumers here, including my own, you'll find that most people's positions are quite nuanced. Most agree that median architectural quality could be better, and that unit sizes have been far too small for a long time now. There are many other critiques offered...

No harm in throwing ideas out. How are these U-Turns being done? Yes, you could send pedestrians up and over Eglinton, but CPKC's existing bridge would not be suitable and in any event they wouldn't share it, but that's not such a big deal, I'm not entirely convinced people would be...

Setting aside the merits or likelihood of such an exercise, lest my answer spur such replies, I'll try to give that a serious answer. First though we have to set some parameters. 1) I'll work with the assumption that we are retaining the current running concept (train lengths, catenary, low...

Community Meeting for this one coming up: There was a technical resubmission here in October and November '25. No significant changes. @Paclo

As per @AlbertC 's post above, this one was the subject of a re submission in October '25. @Paclo From the Planning Addendum: Revised Ground Floor Plan: Typical Floor Layout: * Very small unit sizes. There is no market for this. 3 bed under 900ft2, 2 Bed + Den under 700ft2...
