You can prevent that from happening (under Firefox) by going under: Tools>Options>Content>Enable Javascript>Advanced Then de-select "Allow scripts to: move or resize existing windows" (personally I'd de-select everything in there, it's all stuff you'd never want to have happen)

I walked under this overpass just before Christmas, it seemed pretty much complete other than the road surface. Even the sidewalks under the bridge were done.

Yeah, comments like these: have me a bit worried. I hope they don't go overboard in trying to sanitize Yonge. There's definitely some "grit" in that stretch, but that's part of it's "big city" charm. If anything, I'd like to see more strip clubs and sex shops, like St Catherine Street in...

Exactly. There's talk of ending the dumping at the Leslie Street Spit, now that it's a nature preserve, so another place will have to be found. Using excavation waste as fill for the outer shore of the Islands would kill two birds with one stone.

Personally, I think they should start dumping the excess fill on the outer shore of the Islands, to counteract the erosion that's taking place.

Agreed. The article was rambling and disjointed, and her arguments don't stand up to scrutiny.

I think that stuff is still dumped in the lake at the Leslie Street Spit.

You thought so? I thought it was a bit ridiculous that she was complaining that Toronto's Trump tower is less garish and gaudy than his other buildings. I see that as a good thing. I also thought is was funny that the only thing she likes about the tower is the onion-shaped hat on top, which...

Fantastic looking building so far. Nice shots, CSW242.

It can be seen (somewhat) on the webcam: Looks to me like it could be the backing for something, it seems to be inset a bit compared to the rest of the cladding.

Yeah, I agree, the climate change angle of that article is completely ridiculous. I think article writers just like to throw it in as the fashionable crisis-du-jour. The point though, and the reason I cited the article, is that the marble on FCP has to be replaced or structurally remediated...

Just cleaning it isn't enough, the marble has to be replaced, as it is structurally unsound. As Adma alludes to, the Aon Center in Chicago had the same problem and replaced the marble with white granite, so there is a precedent. This Globe article discusses the problem...

The one that springs to mind is the original design for the new city hall which was moved up to St. Clair to become the Imperial Oil headquarters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Oil_Building_(Toronto)

Seconded. I'd rather have the images load up just one, rather than having to click on millions of links.

Yes, all pictures are appreciated! Don't let complainers inhibit you from posting them.

Pretty minor problem, but the ampersand is screwed up in forum titles: PS, Great to have urbantoronto back!

Yeah, that was what it sounded like to me from the quote provided.

Not sure if this is the correct place to report it, but the stickied "Development Index" thread seems broken. I've been randomly clicking on links, and none of them seem to lead where they should.

Here's a picture of those stairs. Taken Saturday the 20th by me.

Taken today from Metro Hall (excuse the glare):
