The mechanical penthouse at EXS is being poured.
Not to mention those wicked doughnut marks on the Hudson's Bay parking lotAww the pair of Walmart buggies is out for a romantic walk...
I was at that parking lot today. I should have taken a picture. Quite impressive a car doesn’t go over the edge.Not to mention those wicked doughnut marks on the Hudson's Bay parking lot
Looking at the future downtown core in the photos up above. It would have been nice if they would create a below and above path network between every major development. To get around in, on these very cold and hot seasons!

I honestly don't think it would be that hard to achieve (particularly above ground) in the future, even if there's no planned connection now.Especially for this development where it would’ve been in the best interest of Oxford to have a path connection to the mall. I am surprised they didn’t think/plan for it.
The truth is Toronto has only recently started to prioritize their downtown streets for pedestrians. New bike lanes. Street car row streets. Pedestrian only streets. These are all relatively new initiatives. John street, king street, bloor street( between avenue and Yonge) the future yonge street are all newly looked after.With deserted streets, PATH is the very last thing they should invest in.
The key component is whether these stroads will be re-designed as attractive pedestrian friendly urban high streets after both the density and PT goes in. If all they're doing is building density, it will have to be considered a failure and colossal missed opportunity.. Unfortunately, a lot of these towers don't meet the street in an engaging way. It will take a lot of money and time to rebuild them at grade to accommodate an apron of retail, restaurants, etc.
