Had a nice view on my flight approach yesterday, was very easy to spot :)

I largely agree with you, but I think a good legal case could be made that hardscape with greenery is not “park space”. I like the High Line in NYC but no one is suggesting it’s a park

Putting aside whether or not you consider this a luxury spa or a family water park, or whether or not it should be there in the first place, two things strike me: 1) they are estimating 15000 visitors per day - Canada’s Wonderland is like 25000 visitors per day, with 15X the size. Can you...

Are you saying that left hand turn signals are typically sensor based and not timer based? I don’t think this is true, certainly not in my experience. And when I’m sitting 20 cars back and only 2 get through in time each light it’s definitely not true. Does anyone know who in the city to reach...

This is not what I’m asking. I’m asking about intersections with a left turn signal and with a dedicated left turn lane, and yet the left turn signal either doesn’t come on or comes on for such a short period of time it’s almost worse. Why are they set this way? Is it a traffic flow strategy or...

I am not aware of any left hand turn signal/cycle at any intersection in the city without a dedicated left hand turn lane, although I’m sure there are some (and construction has no doubt messed with this severely)

Or so lightly used? Like for example a left hand turn signal that is on for 2 seconds before turning yellow, and meanwhile there is a queue of 40 cars waiting to turn. Is there any coherent strategy city wide for left hand turn signals? Or are these basically set ad-hoc and forgotten about...

Certainly can’t hurt! Condo values are weird right now anyways, will take a few years to normalize.

Oh yeah I think you’re right - the dry cleaner is in 25 Esplanade.

Yeah, that’s weird. As far as I can tell the only retail at all in that building (at ground level) is a boutique car rental and maybe a dry cleaner? Not sure if it’s still there.

OMG I can’t believe I missed that they narrowed the tower designs here! It’s a revelation for viewing through to the waterfront, the previous design was going to be a solid wall of condos. This is how I think it will look like directly southwards as the new design, much better than just seeing...

Thanks both! Yeah that was my follow up question - I can’t imagine they would extend the PATH for the private use of only those condo residents, but I also wouldn’t think they would just open up the building lobby to general public.

I’m interested in what you are saying here (a PATH extension to Espanade) - is this Plan of Record or wishful thinking?

From some of the press materials it seems to indicate that set back middle building is “future residential”. So I was wondering if, as you say, they are planning on building all three at once? I also think the school is in the base of that 3rd building? If so, my guess is that the building and...

Where can I find what the updated timeline is for the middle building construction? Just wondering when my view of the waterfront will be completely blocked out :)
