Is lcbo so important that they get an entire new building built for them? Was there no suitable commercial space available nearby for a small store? I like the additional office above but seems like a wasted opportunity to add more residential to the area with several more levels above. The...

It is amazing what a tall building is going on this small footprint. I wonder if they tried to get some of the properties to the south to sell, but they held out? Some of those terraces of the adjoining building will be very close to the new tower, but that's city life! Traffic at this...

I guess self-storage is a good business case, but Dupont seems to have more upside potential for midrise condos at this point. I wonder how they figured this use was more profitable than a midrise condo. A lot of people would clamour to live walking distance to the Bloor line and close to the...

I'm puzzled that the developer here did not seek to build something 10-15 stories. They could have used the heritage preservation part in exchange for more density. This neighbourhood needs more housing with 2 and 3 bedroom units. For example, there are two schools in this neighbourhood that...

it's great until you run out of other people's money. Such a giant public expense to build this rail deck is misplaced priorities. Some people have developed almost a religious "park purity" ferver against allowing any development here. Nearby we have nice parks and opportunities for parks on...

I hope that this developer will reconsider and build more two-bedroom units in this building, both condo and rental. There are many families with children who would love to live in this neighbourhood. Schools like Clinton and Montrose are at well-below capacity, and if they can't build more...

that blank wall on the east will probably get an advertisement. It is similar in size and proportion to that building at Bloor and Huron that gets lots of Ads.

It would make most sense to have an enclosed path-like bridge that goes under the Gardiner like the one already in operation further east. It would be a lot of steps to get to a bridge that goes over the Gardiner, and a much more expensive bridge. Over the Gardiner -- That kind of idea is...

This studio purchase is a big waste of public money. The City has no expertise in this area, and should leave it to those in the industry to decide which studio spaces are needed for filming. If they want to ensure that films are made locally and post-production work remains here, it would be...

yesterday afternoon --

that adaption seems kinda ridiculous to me. The playing surface is too high and there are trip hazards for the players. We visit Christie Pits a lot, and I've only once seen people using the new concrete table tennis tables. It would be good if those concrete ping pong tables could double as...

Friday afternoon. I'm not sure why the Firetruck was there.

Toronto's waterfront and the Island Airport is a destination for people from all over the GTA, and many are not able or willing to take public transit, walk, or ride their bike. It is essential to provide parking. As mentioned, it is also for the school, community centre, visitors to the park...

I will drink to this! However, how much longer can they drag this out?

Does anyone think they should make the surrounding area a 24-hour community by incorporating some residential? A kind of world showcase village, mixing themes of ethnic villages, multicultural attractions, water/lake/nature themed exhibits, with some surrounding residential would be attractive...

There's a lot to like with the proposal. A couple of things I think that would improve it further -- It would be nice if the Eireann Quay went underground south of the school, allowing for a continuous greenspace connecting Little Norway, Ireland Park and The Silo site. The dropoff loop and...

This afternoon at 2pm

Comments on the new signs -- The badges for TTC, GO, UP, etc are too small in my opinion. The signs would be more visible if they were hung 2-3 feet lower. The font choice is good -- crisp and readable How much $$$ did it take to re-do these signs?

If excavation is 75% complete, then there must only be 1-2 levels of underground parking.

today: digging a little deeper. A bit sad this building will partially block the view of the tabletop from the south.
