Yeah, that's definitely be one of the best views to show off our city, and it'll be even better once Aura towers in the background and (hopefully) glistens brighly at night... :)

Yes Yes on both...

Explanation My perspective is shaped by two things... ...one is that there are 'some' suggestions that the best way to reduce congestion downtown is by adding one-way streets (and in fact having as the 'model' road 3 lanes all one-way), extending roadways (Front street), adding ramps and...

Besides a couple posters, it seems (sadly) that most people seem to think that the best way to reduce congestion is to faciliate automobile movement... ...this is - as Kristin said, backwards 1950's planning that has proven over and over NOT to work in the long run...if we want to get people...

"Fear mongering"? Yeah, maybe the left and center should borrow a page out of the 'rights' playbook for a change!

Still isn't right Yes, I know...but I think it's much worse when it's happenning with a public corporation...he didn't earn the right to be there, and I (and others) have a right to be pissed about it...who the hell does he think he is! Sooo? Then were all agreed then, it's total height...

So? I agree with you...so does that mean were 'definitely' seeing more floors?

A good start...

Well, he's lost my business...I won't 'knowingly' support - directly or indirectly, that kind of ignorance... :) And since I'm only about a 7 minute walk from his place, it looks like I'm not part of his target 'market' anyway, as I wouldn't be driving to get there... ;) Besides, a cooworker...

How? Not that I disagree with you on this point, but I'm curious as to exactly how you propose that they refuse(d)? And in the same vein, given that the City's share of public transit funding is WAY more than most other cities pay - and that this too was a result of downloading, should we...

Man! Oh, man...had to read back on this...you guys had me for a sec...I thought it was serious...talk about a WTF moment! ;)

That would be nice! Progressive and understandable...I remember when I met her once at an urban design charette, she had some cool ideas about optimizing/revitalizing the laneways...one in particular she had renderings and everything...I wish I remembered which one...but definitely a nice...

30 Gloucester I think it may have been a bit earlier than that...I know the rooftop pool linking the two buildings (when both were rental) was decommissioned when it was converted...too bad...would've been cool...but the rental building kept the tennis court...too bad...also it's technically...

Cheap rentals FYI, not both of those, "cheap 1970's" are rental...30 Gloucester is a condo.

HUH? WTF! He simply made his case by argueing with real examples. When someone confronts you with the 'truth', you sidestep, trivialize and accuse them of getting personal, but why not try to actually listen to their points...I assume he didn't make them without hoping you'd at least give...

Relief and reveal? ToFan...I 'think' I know what you mean by 'Relief and Reveal', but prefer not to assume...can you elaborate (a pic would be nice too... ;)). I walked by the Fire, Pizza and Fly last night and the patios were packed...I REALLY hope they contribute something to our...

Hopefully the townhomes do not face the street as we'll lose that little bit of commercial life/vibe that the fly, east side and pizza joint bring...(not that their replacement means 'any' retail, but townhomes will gaurantee a residential function 'only')... ...if they face the park, then...

A friend of mine bought a unit the day of opening, but she didn't get the two bedroom unit she wanted, so settled for a one-bedroom. Just a couple days ago she backed out after realizing that the bedrooms have no window...I think she knew this when she was there, but she told me it was pretty...

NO! Hmmmm...not good if they touch that building! Hopefully many of the other posters' comments are correct and it's not 'specifically' that building...and besides those condo units inside the masonic building are 'relatively' new...I was contacted just a few years ago about one, so it'd...

Boldness unrewarded? I don't particularly like the design either...but that's the thing with being bold...it's hit and miss... ...but I would prefer to gravitate toward a city 'not' afraid to take chances once in awhile to one that always plays it safe...I think - as others have rightly...
