The impact YSL will have...

YSL from above:
That doesn't account for elevation, does it?

Ha ha! A dinky little extension and that is about it! Despite the fact that the city and (especially) the province and federal government at running yearly deficits.
Don't forget we have to pay for all the civil servants that are looking after us so well (and their pay and pensions).
How about Eglinton Crosstown? Do I have to mention them all?

8+km is not a 'dinky' extension imo.

The City of Toronto doesn't run an annual deficit. It legally cannot.

That is true of the Operating Expenses Budget but not the Capital Expenditures Budget.

No, my model is flat and has no elevation changes. Maybe some day I'll work on that...

"refusal notice"? does it mean what i think it means?

The capital budget is paid for with the operating budget (big expense == annual payments); not unlike a house or car purchase.
So... Since the operating budget needs to be balanced, the capital budget has a cap on what can be paid off over a 30 year period at current revenue levels.

means the city doesn't want this to go ahead yet, maybe the city is looking for more section 37 cash?
obviously the height doesn't seem to be the problem

Grown really attached to this design, glad they changed that point and made it more exaggerated. (Still be nice to see a little spire set off at the tip). Very much hoping it all goes through eventually with extreme minimal changes to its exterior if any at all, it could look real nice if done right..
However, It would be a real shame if for some reason it gets a complete change, on hold for years, or to be completely cancelled all together. For some unseen reason. (Doubt it).

i don't know anymore?, city planning doesn't seem to know how to deal with the really tall building proposals very well
One Yonge + LCBO Lands took forever for approvals, Mirvish/Gehry went years and years of red tape before approvals,
Chelsea Green, YSL, 8 Elm street, have all been proposed over 3 years ago and nothing,
they will most likely ride CIBC-3, 415 Yonge, 2 Carlton, 50 + 80 Bloor street w.,(last 2 are a bit shorter than 250m) for years before you hear about anything
....believe me, i've been here long enough to know that anything over 250 meters gives city planning the hibbie jibbies..lol

I get that. It not easy to just plop a skyscraper anywhere. And that there’s a lot to be studied if it will function in a positive way for the area. And city
