Hey, don't speak of our treasured SSP heritage like that! We appreciate the great Lavalian God as it looks down upon literally everyone and thing in its vicinity in its quest for utter domination in soul suckingness.

I'm noticing a lot of inconsistent service on the line these days. Just yesterday, I went down to my local stop at 3:30 pm. There was about 50 people on the platform, mostly school goers, and the train ETA was 3 minutes or so. I waited 10 minutes, and after that left, and walked to the subway...

Yes, I saw people complaining about this on Facebook a few weeks ago. With the usual lamenting and NIMBY attitides in the comments. While it's unfortunate in some ways to lose the view of the CN tower, it was bound to happen sooner or later, and you can just as easily view the building from...

I think I'll be having a smoke along this stretch more often at this rate...I'm no architect but if I was I'd be halfway in the grave by now given how far the bottom is for what passes as architecture these days.

I get your point, but instead of assuming my points are made in jest and I'm talking as if I have no experience in the matter, think of it like this. I've seen the planning docs for this and how the buildings public facing area is designed around Burnamthorpe and the sdjoining public streets...

Well, it can be slotted as well under the "Adding more sellable GFA" bracket too. It's ugly but, it's not detracting much from this thing as a whole, given how massive it is.

I don't see much to like regarding the design on these buildings, but, I've always found the stacked box aesthetic uninspiring and leaving much to be desired. My main issues with this development remain the massing and the awful street level - the podium is an absolute afterthought. The towers...

I find those things beyond ugly, but, I'm probably in the minority on that. Good to see the above ground section going up...still counting down the years until this is done.

From the night of Apr 9th, the massing looks like something from Victoria.

Quick, grab your popcorn! 👀

It'll be a godsend when this thing finishes. The poor excuse for sidewalks along the Dundas frontage is an absolutely infuriating experience for pedestrians, and borderline dangerous.

Yeah, the arrival time ETA is a real nuisance on this line, but not as bad as the loud, buzzy audio issues. That's all up to the administrator/maintainer.

I think you mean north-east.

Uh...just from my uneducated eye, I'd say its very well used. I rode it yesterday at school hour (3ish PM) and it was packed with kids. I rode it a few times with a friend today and it was decently busy too.

Oh dear, the Franken-ification of this complex continues.

Honestly, COVID dealt the majority of the damage once people were out of the office. Like, the Canadian Tire did well, but, there wasnt much traffic here in those years...not enough to justify the business case for some of the longer term tenants that had been here.

A fine rodeo of construction machinery without the crowds, sideshow attractions or snacks and vices.

Yea, I've been watching this place slowly die since 2018...its kind of depressing, but, there's been so much opening around it that competes with the businesses that were or already are here. I miss that McDonalds that was at the food court. (I think theres only...3 shops there now?)

No businesses have moved in...it's a very depressing, windswept, empty pathway and will remain so until either tenants come in, or well..they build a park at the fenced off lot off St. Patrick. (I assume that's under the purview of the City) I use it sometimes to get to work...it's pretty...

Another pub I never visited despite my university years down the street. Damn.
