The TTC self-insures. Not sure how Mx handles its liability.

I would have loved to see the station done in faux (but quality) pink sandstone tile, with faux copper ceiling panels to match its name sake. For St. Patrick a yellow brick subway tile matching the church, and uplighting of the columns. Yeah, yeah, I know..... money, LOL Still nice...

The building permits here refer to this as a rental building. However, if you follow the AIC link from the last page, this site would seem to not have approved zoning, and the Project Data Sheet says condos. I assume the permits are correct and the zoning status is not. But I think this...

Excellent news, TY. *** @Paclo will wish to make note of the above, and that NOAC has been issued here. However, there are no critical permits (Site Service, Shoring or Foundation) in place. Nonehtheless.... @Edward Skira may wish to add this to his weekend scenic drive list.

I didn't get a chance to take a picture, but I was in St. Patrick Stn the other day....and I observed that they are installing faux-vitroite over the weird shiny metallic slats they installed some weeks/months back. The new tile is thinner than the original and by the looks of it, they are...

@AlexBozikovic if its any consolation.........the Parks capital budget only shows $200,000 marked for this, in the current year and nothing on a go-forward basis, so any major choices here will not likely be implemented in the near term. I am, broadly in agreement that certain major decisions...

Based on this description, the land holdings are as follows: Size, ~18,000ft2 or thereabouts, but prob ably 17,000 functionally if they don't own one of the larger real parcels.

Good effort @TwoWheelPoli .....but what's w/you sneakily changing the colour of your avatar..........it completely threw me for a second; I was thinking there was an imposter at work! *** Side note .... to the above post...........my section of Danforth has had the bike lanes cleared, though...

Fascinating; Perception is everything. I find it slow. Its slower today than when it was first completed (current iteration of the exclusive ROW); but even at it best, I found it a bit pokey. I think with proper TSP and removal of about six stops per direction (4 from St Clair W to...

The Variance above is detailed here, in the Decision Notice of January 20th, granting same: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/application-details/?id=5735376&pid=201833&title=490-ST-CLAIR-AVE-W---FINAL-AND-BINDING While I was looking............. No key permits...

Demolition permits, needless to say, were issued. Shoring permit was accepted (not issued) December 29th. SPA remains pending. (NOAC not issued)

Story on this one over at Renx: https://renx.ca/timing-critical-almega-brixen-build-824-sheppard-toronto Targeting mid '28 for occupancy.

I believe @RyanD may have hinted at Permit News: Oddly, they lack the Drain/Sit Service permit as yet, and the GeoTherm. To me, there's an order of operations issue here......but who am I......LOL

This is a very straight forward mushroom pasta with miso recipe that I quite like. I tweaked it slightly, I like some zing in things, so I added 1 Thai chili dice, I also thought it needed a fresh element, and I used a bit of parsley and some finely diced scallion...

Lots in the report, but this is one key bit: Key issues, are substandard setbacks, and the 8-storey base building height. This bit below is stupid: There should not be any on-site park unless it can be at least 1ha or 2.5 acres in size. A 0.1ha park is worthless and only an idiot...
