How come everything in this town has to be named after soldiers, politicians or indigenous? Wish we could be a little more creative with our naming conventions.

Outside of geographical references (River St., Maple Blvd.) or simple numbers (1st Ave), nearly every place is named after whomever found it, took it or owned it. What else is there? Of course Sankofa Square is a notable exception.

...I'm pretty sure whatever they end up naming it someone will complain about it. /shrug

Judging by the pairs of hooks, I’m going with the city’s largest swing set. 😃

Several men working within a deep hole to the right of the dragonflies…

You take the high road and I’ll take the low road…

Plenty of plant people doing their plant people work (with the massive ship in the distance).

Unplugged?

Details matter…(finishing touches next to ‘Orange’).

Great shots!

I'll need to send the drone up this weekend to see if indeed the water is flowing in through what looks to be an unplugged section.

Shame we can't explore any of this new stuff for a full year still but 2025 will be a big one. This plus the Eglinton LRT will finally be finished.
 
Great pix! I love that the view of the skyline from the Red Bridge is becoming an iconic place to take an ‘I was here!’ photo! This is one taken yesterday of my aunt and uncle.

Btw I have never seen The Portlands so busy with cyclists and walkers! Thousands!

So with regards to the filling in of lower Parliament in the above pictures, is the goal to fill the whole thing in and then build another tower on top of the fill? Or just fill up to the current wall?

Agree about your first points but it is clearly open, a bit. Probably not much below water but ...

Your second point is more questionable, the Eglinton East LRT MAY be open, or maybe not.

They're filling the slip up to the current sea wall, so it will go straight across from Sugar Beach to Keating Channel. But I don't think a tower will go right there, that's the spot for some sort of cultural/recreational use, and the landing for the pedestrian bridge to the big park. Though they threw some confusion on this recently, that I'm not sure was specifically resolved:

Parliament Slip | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto | West 8

I have seen this stone slinger spitting aggregate a couple of times over the last few months. Are they filling the basin?. May 14 May 14 I guess New only lasts two weeks. For a balanced meal April 30

I believe it is largely being done to connect Queen's Quay to Cherry.
