...it would be amusing that the devs got in their first and built those towers stupidly tall so Doug is forced to reconsider his jet setting approach to Billy Bishop. But I am pretty sure it doesn't work that way. >.<

You Whooo:
Note, that so far as I understand these heights are about the existing AZR, not jets.
Note the admonition in the graphic, 'metres above mean sea level'
For reference, Toronto, at the Lake is ~76.5M above mean sea level at grade.

As an aside, we’re getting a good raining on atm.
As much as I dislike the surveillance state, I do kinda wish we had we had a camera on Biidaasige because I’m fascinated by our flood mitigation at work.
(Hands up anyone who went to a school near the ravine and grew up with 3pm announcements about staying away from rushing water every time it rained)

When I crossed the viaduct today, the Don looked quite swollen already. It's going to be overflowing its usual banks tomorrow!

Summer is almost here. 20C and Biidaasige Park and is very busy already...
And they finally placed stone paths between those narrow mucky paths between trails that people were cutting through...

Great to see WT added these stone links between the two paved pathways, I suggested they do this last year as people were clearly creating 'desire lines' to make the link! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path

If this jet expansion moves forward, it will be Toronto's biggest mistake since approving the Gardiner repair v.s removing it.

I'd argue that that $400 million above ground parking lot with 3500 car spots proposed for Ontario Place/Therme is the biggest mistake. Instead of urbanization and moving towards a transit forward city, we're building massive car infrastructure; and on our waterfront to boot. There's literally a giant train station being built directly north of this.

The great thing about "Toronto's biggest mistake in the past decade and a half" is that there are so many possible choices!
