This is a beautiful hydro substation.

I know. I was purposely petting that dog the wrong way. In an antagonistic fashion I was saying that a baseball stadium does little to elevate the urban fabric. In terms of economic side effects, I would argue that whatever replaced the Rogers Centre would do more to support local...

I expect to be flamed here but frankly on non-game days, the area around Rogers Centre is a urban wasteland like all large event spaces are. On game days, it's a sea of the great unwashed. Only 21,638 attendance per game in 2019 for 81 home games. Over 3/4 of the year, the building is just...

Points taken but I don't see how the current location would work if it needs to be out of service for 3 seasons. Yes TFC games are a nightmare but transit choke points can be addressed. What is a really a nightmare is when there are events at both Rogers centre and the Scotiabank arena that...

My location for a stadium would be the eastern half of Ontario place from Lake Shore Blvd down to Echo Beach. I.e. fill in Brigantine Cove. The proximity to Exhibition GO and TTC and not too far from downtown would be a plus IMO. https://goo.gl/maps/Tdkk5RrnY2x9nJf76

The slab that is being formed now is the ceiling of the ground level. There is no slab beneath it. The question I have is, before this pour happens, will the large crane be removed?

There may be multiple reasons but on some UT thread a long time ago it was stated the primary goals were less radius and a full 2-lane exit.

I'm sure these jacks will continue to be used on site for the upper floors albeit as a single stack. Why bring a unique taller support system for the main floor and then have to take it away?

I'm guessing they're preparing the ramp that dump trucks will go down once they get deeper.

?? 77% of the population don't care?

Temporary? You wish!

Well of course the streetcar tunnel occupies the space under Bay St. But if that was brought to the surface and remove the cars...

To me, the benefit of the islands are the serenity and attractiveness of the natural environment. "Trappings of civilization" be it trams, housing, airports, marinas or bouncy castles should be wound down and certainly not expanded. If those are the things you seek, there is a large metropolis...

Not a fan of the original building but this cladding is bad.

Pandemic proof as in by the time the building is finished and people move in the pandemic will be long past.

That would only change the pace of construction slightly.

I assume that exposed rebar can only be left to rust for so long.

Concrete never stops curing.

Actually, I just felt like dropping a quote from Dirty Harry with the more famous following one being inferred, but point taken.

Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, i kind of lost track myself.
