And further east there have been restoration efforts in the Cobourg-Port Hope areas that I'm aware of. A creek in our Managed Forest eventually joins the Cobourg Creek . We've done Atlantic Salmon restoration a number of years ago directed by MNRF and Anglers & Hunters in the section of cold...

Regarding point #2, the Federal Government may have played a role in the stunning about- face. At this point, there is simply no fight left in the Ford camp.

Thank you for the information, as always Northern Light. I can't help being " born in Missouri".

" For every tree removed...approximately twice as many trees that are native to the area will later be planted.." How big are the trees to be planted and how much later will the planting be ? Call me a sceptic, but the devil is always in the details - the city is acquainted with value engineering.

Was it beyond Concord to add an architectural flourish here or there ? I really wanted to like this pile, amends sort of for all the dreck they've left the city, but just want to turn the other way now. A missed opportunity for the cityscape from a developer who has no interest it seems.

Maybe it's the colour palette, but this is sterile.

Epic hyperbole . Bring on the " rebellious chic ".

Soul-sucking comes to mind - zero streetscape appeal. It's as if the developer went out the way to thumb its nose at the city.

What , no cake !

But, but, we're adding to the Greenbelt...and building a gazillion homes because you know all those immigrants just want to come here...

Let them eat cake.

It presents as a well-dressed and bloated, coneheaded building - in my jaded opinion. There's something just not right here, proportionally. Still, a little taller and it would have stood out in the skyline showcasing the quality of materials and construction.

It takes 2 to tango.

...and contemptible - no other words really.

They're all in trouble if they can't unite to throw the Cons out.

The " more crap, faster " Government. I wonder where the 3 trees for 1 tree removed mantra will take form. Maybe offsetting somewhere else - like wetlands.

Headline grabber.

I think that in newer, robust cities like Toronto the built form comes along very fast with almost an ignorance of cultural environment. Newer buildings can be entities unto themselves sometimes. All you need to do is look at the podium complex of many new developments to see how disjointed the...

Is there a UT thread that deals specifically with architectural design and built form in this city , without impoverishing the Buildings thread of commentary ?
