I regularly report to 311 (and will continue to do so), but it is exhausting to have to request what should be basic maintenance. For more than a year I had to campaign to have trees replaced on Front Street East that have been dead for over three seasons. How was this not done in that time...

Guaranteed a significant portion of this will turn to residential. I think the City is in for a big change in terms of how it plans for commercial space -- dropping replacement requirements, etc.

I wasn't defending anything, for the record.

I think s/he means the "Z" symbol used by Russia's military: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol) However, I'm not prepared to cede our precious letter Zed quite so easily.

I'm pretty sure s/he means condos, offices, and building services, such as loading or garbage disposal. Many can only be accessed via King Street and there is no viable alternative. Also, people paid $100K for their underground parking spots. So, you do have to maintain some car access. Perhaps...

It's wild how baby boomers hoarded all the wealth for themselves :p ... but it does look nice.

In terms of massing, the developer made clear at a recent meeting that they are building to the MZO and the siting is not open to change, so I think we're stuck. Blame the province for using authoritarian tools to cram entirely too much density onto this site, which has limited opportunities for...

I don't see the very wealthy neighbours or soon-to-be neighbours going for a 15m separation either.

There's a library at Fort York and Spadina.

This evening.

Great pictures, Skycandy. The brick is growing on me. When you see it along the length of the building, it almost looks three dimensional.

My preferred solution is also significant tax changes. In order for locations to sit empty for even 1 or 2 years, there must a problem with the market and/or financial incentives that allow for the behaviour. On the market side, it appears that power is concentrated in the hands of...

Honestly, this is the type of immaturity that would lead me not to vote for Josh Matlow. Is reconstructing the Gardiner East the correct decision? Maybe, maybe not. Obviously it can be debated endlessly, as shown here. Has this exact decision and these exact issues come before Council dozens...

It was definitely being sold as a gift by the developer / architect at the public meeting, which I attended.

This proposed block is really giving me Buenos Aires vibes. Tall distinct towers with narrow frontages and balconies. I wish we had more of this typology in Toronto rather than block-busting mega developments.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of the courtyard. I feel it is more of a private amenity than a public one, and I have doubts that community members will use it, especially since the lane to the south does not continue through to Mill Street. However, I am glad that the entry was made more...

Lots more up today.
