You should hand in your moderator badge.

Why, just because you didn't like to be challenged on an issue that didn't require a moderating role? The proposal as it stands would pass muster back then as good enough, relative to Crystal Blu or whatnot. Considering projects like 50 Scollard (hardly megatall at 41s, that) around the block, this is no longer sufficient especially given the ask.

Actually, I love the banter, you may keep your moderator badge. But use your great powers wisely.

I certainly will miss the varied streetscape here. It's not dense enough, sure, but the replacement won't capture the variation and 'messiness' currently on site:

From KWT’s newsletter:

Growing Parkland in Yorkville

City Council approved an amended section 37 agreement to help coordinate the creation of a new park between two separate developments at 27-37 Yorkville Avenue (33 Yorkville) and 11-21 Yorkville Avenue (11 Yorkville). 33 Yorkville had previously received approvals that would create an on-site 583.5 m2 public park in 2017. A recent development application at 11 Yorkville proposes its own on-site parkland dedication, with the size to be determined. The motion ensures that the two sites coordinate efforts to create a single larger park to be enjoyed by the local community for years to come.

Totally agree. But how can we insinuate "messiness" into our giant downtown suburb - Cityplace? Podiums are built but if we can mess up the street level, maybe folks will feel like a neighbourhood is in the offing...

But there is 'good' messiness ... and 'bad' messiness.
I'd like to suggest that this is 'bad' messiness and will benefit from being replaced.

i was thinking if they use golden fins and darkfer blue glass it will look amazing.

How is it 'bad'? Elaborate?

You're being slightly obtuse. But cheap, shabby and soulless is an example. This is hideous, we all know that.

 

[ProjectEnd]

I see none of those things. I see a streetscape that's evolved over time and caters primarily to pedestrians through variation and narrow storefronts. I do not see "hideous".

 

[isaidso]

And it's been an eyesore over that entire progression. Some things are hideous over their entire life span.

Is that office type building with the purple glass going? I love that one

Boy, I would *hate* to be you. What a depressing outlook.
