Not to excuse the bad drivers, but when you have so many lights and messaging, maybe it's time to rethink things. I mean: 5 strips of lights 4 signs (with a lot of words) Why is one of the most important sign - the don't go forward if your are non-transit - so far away and not much more...

Walked by yesterday and it looked ready to open. Pretty excited for it to open - not sure what kind of prices to expect though.

Taken today, April 5 - some work going on the site:

From the top (from today April 5):

Love it! I was thinking of folks in wheelchairs or kids and I'm glad they thought it through.

Considering how epically slow construction moves in TO, I would be surprised if in 2031 we actually had people moving in. Pleasantly surprised, but definitely surprised.

A lot of the street food fests do feel very same same, and don't really highlight the culture of the neighbourhood that well. But it would be a shame to lose something like Hot Docs.

I really like that No Frills. I grew up around the area, and I believe it was Food City originally, became Knob Hills Farms, and now No Frills. I feel like I'm missing an iteration. In that plaza, I still miss Consumer Distributors even though they have their wonky catalog system. :)

I was (am?) a bit worried about Cuckoo Bakery as they are stuck kinda in a middle of nowhere. Gong Cha just a bit north is at least at a T-intersection.

I do like the design/shape from a distance. It's only when I get close that it feels too big for the footprint; and I see the quality of materials is not that great.

Gorgeous! I wish they did better with the guardrails though. Even having them painted white would make it look better.

Used to pop in a couple times a year. They have nice stuff, but very $$, and also bigger items not well suited for condo balconies. I remember seeing enough customers that actually bought stuff, but that was pre-Covid.

The app's bonus discounts used to be OK, but in the past year (or slightly more?) it's been pretty crap, and I don't even look at it anymore.

I like the simplicity of Line 1, 2, etc., or Line A, B, etc., or red/blue/yellow/etc line. Even though I grew up knowing them as Yonge line or Bloor/Danforth line. Just for new comers - and also possible line extensions, you aren't stuck with place names - these generic names are a lot easier...

I thought there was a recent ruling that didn't allow panhandling/busking/corner preachers in the area?
