Perhaps I can close the loop on this tangent, by offering clarity with respect to my concern (not 'fear') regarding Metro's capacity going forward provided the expected condo builds: I would merely suggest that having attended the metro in question for years and at varying points in the day, holidays, etc., this location will be rather strained provided we see 2500+ units come online within several hundred meters. My point, which had been picked up by others, and not to belabour it here, was in fact oriented towards the relative scarcity of grocers in the area. The lowblaws at the waterfront is an amazing location, however, if you ever tried to drive there during any of the traffic congestion periods (virtually 3 each day), thats a very wasteful trip considering the distance; and walking may be relatively simple, but is much less so with a large shopping burden, and say, winter conditions, for example.
RE this entire thread, I am a bit disappointed that no-one decided to uplift my gripe regarding the erasure of the pleasing nature of our built-form mountain that is the financial district on down to St. James Park.
To place this thread back (somewhat) to the subject, the only positive for this proposal I will say, is that it seems sufficiently set-back (arguably offset by its absolutely ridiculous proposed build height).
Apologies for contributing to a derailment.
