Looks like this new "park" is a temporary measure knowing how long the process will be for consultations, designs and approvals. Likely paid for by the builder as an indirect measure to help with appeal for the area (knowing the situation with pre-construction sales).

To me, that would explain why they moved as quickly as they did, knowing it is only to be temporary.

From this afternoon:

Are they going to have the facade as part of the temporary park? Cuz that would be kinda need if they have a way to stabilize the wall.

Wish the city was better at communicating what's currently going on and what the plan is. The fact that it's even a temporary green space is amazing though.

The general public is eventually going to read some meta-article from blogTO and start forming their own narrative "Torontonians shocked at quality of new park".

Honestly, most Torontonians don't care so much about what is going on in the city beyond their immediate neighborhood and places they frequent. I have a number of friends that live within a few blocks from The One, no one really knows what the building is. They just think it is a construction site that took comically long and they got used to it and forgets about it. Usually when a park is completed, it would be like "oh look!" one morning.

The challenge is that these kind of updates would be fairly niche from an audience perspective. I guess that's par for the course.

That is why it is up to all of us to investigate and post updates here on UT. Like the one above from @TheSix
