The difference in total cost between the two bids was almost $10M.

yeah which really doesn't matter, when all said and done it will be over budget like Union Station and they will just ask the city for more cash...it's all a game

Contract was awarded several months ago but a few weeks ago I was told that the lawyers are still dealing with the snall print. It is starting to be a joke and the fencing us beyond awful. If we gad a proper Councilor it might be wotth askibg her but I have yet to get any responses from her.
Hoping that wasn't a stroke while you were tying.

I'd say save the money and turn into a park, the funds could be put towards the future so called Rail Deck park

Thank you, but no. Maybe apoplexy!

I've actually thought the same and agree. This would be a perfect spot for a park. People can grab food in the market then come outside to eat. My understanding is that the lot south of St Lawrence Market (where the pop-up market is) will be turned into a park once St Lawrence Market North goes up, but still...
There's enough parks in the area.

It is also where Toronto's Public Market has been since 1803.

Public consultation meeting on St. Lawrence Market lower level revitalization
The City of Toronto is undertaking a public consultation to seek feedback on a design for the revitalization and enhancement of the lower level of the South Market of the St. Lawrence Market Complex.
The City has awarded a contract to DIALOG – an integrated design firm with expertise in public markets, food and retail planning – to prepare a design for the revitalization. The City and DIALOG are gathering public feedback for the early stages of the project.
Residents are invited to attend the St. Lawrence Market Lower Level Revitalization Open House on Wednesday, June 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Temporary Market, located at 125 The Esplanade. The public consultation meeting will include information from City staff, a presentation from DIALOG, and opportunities to ask questions and share feedback on the Lower Level Revitalization.
Interested parties are invited to submit their feedback to stlawrencemarket@toronto.ca by Friday July 6.
The goal of the Lower Level Revitalization is to improve the success of the lower level of the South Market in a way that complements the upper level, and create a destination that will attract people to visit, shop, dine and return in the future. The design will engage both the exterior and interior spaces, upgrade vendor services and operations, and improve storage areas, loading facilities and the circulation of people and goods. The lower level of the South Market, which was previously wholesale storage areas, was opened for retail use in 1978 and has approximately 30 food and specialty goods merchants.
The South Market building dates back to 1845, when the central portion of the building was Toronto's first City Hall, and 1904, when the current building was completed. The Market is a valuable historic asset of the City of Toronto and one of the city's top destinations.
St. Lawrence Market is a renowned international food market featuring 120 merchants, vendors and farmers, offering the freshest produce, meats and specialty items. Serving residents of Toronto and international visitors since 1803, the market is regularly recognized as one of Toronto's most popular destinations, and was ranked the number one food market in the world by National Geographic. The St. Lawrence Market Complex is comprised of St. Lawrence Hall, the South Market and the North Market – now in its temporary home at 125 The Esplanade.

Toronto is Canada's largest city, the fourth largest in North America, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people. It is a global centre for business, finance, arts and culture and is consistently ranked one of the world's most livable cities.
