Yeah it’s pretty bad. I never walk it. It’s not so bad on a Bike Share, but it needs to be better for sure.

I mean, the Daniels Lighthouse Towers and Sugar Wharf Towers already exist and they're worse than this imo.

Me too. Honestly I like it’s form factor and massing so far. It’s a lot more interesting than most rectangular buildings around and compliments monde quite nicely. Of course it could look terrible when clad.

As bad as the mechanical box and sign is, at least it follows the curve of the building. Crazily enough it’s much better than One Yonge’s mechanical box.

The mechanical box looks hideous. This has to be a sick joke.

Sidewalk is being widened to Princess St.

I know they’re probably restricted by code or something, but they’ve reconstructed the northbound bike lane at Front and Sherbourne in a way that will encourage drivers to park in the lane while picking up their Tim Hortons (Tim Hortons will be returning to that corner). They left enough...

I’ve reported the 3 docks that haven’t worked in the Esplanade and Sherbourne rack for over a year repeatedly. Still no sign of them fixing them. They’ve been broken so long that most locals know not even to attempt docking in those 3 spots. One of them in particular often registers your bike as...
