Does the city own it?

I'm curious about the real impact of this item. As far as I know the space in front of the building has been open and accessible. Will they be adding lighting or seating?

I am struggling to understand where the pedestrian tunnel leads. The little man just appears to be on the sidewalk. Is the tunnel supposed to cross the intersection to the streetcar stops? ETA: or is the so-called pedestrian tunnel just the temporary area on the sidewalk, not anything to do...

This morning I see the former Fusaro's now has signage promising Bad Egg and Juice to Go.

I must be missing something. Up from what?

Motorino Citta appears to be gone now as well. It was dark when I went past the other day and when I look at https://www.motorinoenoteca.com/discover only Vaughan and King City are listed.

I was looking at Matt Elliott'a coverage of today's council meeting. What's up with Brad Bradford asking to look at exempting "cultural organizations" from noise permit fees? It just seems a little odd when all of the other noise related items seem to be about enforcing noise complaints.

Having a Toronto campus won't offer the drinking age of 18 which I thought was part of McGill's attraction for Ontario students.

Just noticed that Fusaro's at Richmond and Sherbourne has closed.

Huh? John Tory was a part of these negotiations between the city and the province? I can maybe understand that he might be giving advice to the province under the circumstances, but what does it mean to say that Tory is taking advice since he has no current political role? Or is this about when...

Any takeaways for those without access to linkedin?
