Yeah, too bad this city does not have the habit to do infrastructure in advance or even at the same time to compliment these high profile projectsIt will, but it may be opening a block at a time, discontinuously, over years to come…

I believe the reason for discontinuity is the privately owned lots. City can build the street only if these lots redevelop and leave sufficient ROW for the street. The City can not just plough through LCBO or Loblaws one fine day.Yeah, too bad this city does not have the habit to do infrastructure in advance or even at the same time to compliment these high profile projects

Yes, the point being that each block has to be redeveloped in the first place for the space to be created that the street will take up, and yes, it's better to get the heavy construction done just beside the street before doing the final work on the street itself, no use dinging it up.If they built the new streets now would they just not get destroyed by the heavy machinery that is going to be there constantly for the next number of years and I am sure they would have to dig portions of it up as they build the buildings too. Better to build a nice, brand new street with trees etc. when they construction is nearing completion for each block
Pinnacle most likely won't be adding any more height. Their design would have to be completely redone, since the building widens in the middle and tapers near the top/bottom.Now that The one is being raised to 338 meters is it possible for Pinnacle to add 30 - 40 meters to beat it?
They should give these towers the height that they deserve judge by certain merits such as.TThere is no guarantee that The One will get the extension that they are asking for, it's not a done deal yet… but either way, in regards to SkyTower here, yeah, the height of this building is not going to change for exactly the reason @ericmacm states.
