We were on our (rather later than normal) first bike ride of the year today and they were testing out the lighting on the crane. Not very clear in daylight but ..

I believe this has been moved to Jimmie Simpson due to overwhelming demand.

Look how busy the last one was and not surprised. Just think what an open house will loo like about 2021 with the Gardiner relocated, Lake Shore Blvd E relocated and QQE extension open for all the new development from Parliament to Cherry St and the island.

Regarding Ford's proposal for passenger jets at Billy Bishop:

How would the introduction of jet aircraft at Billy Bishop further affect height restrictions in the Ookwemin Minising residential area?

Via John Michael McGrath, on the island airport debate:

Toronto is suffering from a generational housing crisis. In at least one respect, flying jets out of Billy Bishop will make it worse. Because of the need to protect flight paths for heavier planes, allowing jets at the airport will necessarily impose tighter height limits on developments in the Port Lands — reducing housing potential in one of the few parts of the city where there’s at least the possibility of major new homebuilding at scale. If the Ford government could plausibly argue that lost capacity in the Port Lands was going to be made up elsewhere in the city, we could have that debate; they can’t, because their own housing policies have been so lacklustre. So, all we can debate now is the magnitude of the loss.

It's not like the island can accommodate that many people anyway with no public transport and very little roads which already get congested
