Of course, the Liberals promised and did nothing. But once funding was finally approved, we're going full steam ahead.

Are you talking about since the Business Case was released or since actual construction began?

Makes sense. I don't expect you to answer this (how would you know the answer), but I just don't understand why the changes were made. The materials are still of a high quality so it clearly wasn't value-engineered, but it just looks less sleek. I would love to hear a rationale. On the other...

I thought Great Hall lighting was part of the project, and that it was planned to be one of the last tasks. Also, it's pretty notable that Great Hall floor restoration is currently 'outstanding', according to the latest status report.

Of course they don't have a final say. I'm just wondering if this project was at the DRP and if their comments influenced this new rendering.

It just doesn't look as "utopian" and clean as the older design. Didn't this project go to the DRP?

NDP has criticized Ford for not implementing the Northlander within his first term (which was a big election promise), and they promised to restore train service if elected in 2022. https://www.ontariondp.ca/news/ford-leaves-northerners-stuck-waiting-northlander-ndp (May 25, 2021)

The previous version had very nice materials, and the base w/ the canopy was just something else. Personally, this new design looks like a bunch of colourless glass cubes stacked on top of each other in a seemingly random fashion. It's an interesting concept, but I just don't see the beauty in...

It's pretty obvious that this is not a very big issue. Battery trains & hydrogen trains have their limitations, for obvious reasons. We are getting electrified rail, which is a good thing. It won't take very long considering the massive amount of grade separations, electrical infrastructure...

Uh oh... I just discovered this rendering from Norm Li's website. Some pretty significant changes in the façade, the roof, and landscaping. I hope I'm wrong. https://www.normli.ca/projects/camh/

I'm happy that they've done a good job with removing the graffiti! Still, I'll call the supervisor.

But now it's not evenly coloured 😭

Nice job! I like how all the development blocks are connected by streets while providing a generous European town square. Although, I must say that 8-storey and 9-storey buildings abbuting the existing park & Oriole Park Addition may be too high. I think a taller mid-rise would be more...

Would've been a beautiful building without those balconies 😭😭😭 Although, it's still got a nice podium.

Not true. This has nothing to do with councillors interfering in development. Toronto does have a history of councillors not caring about "other" parts of the city, but this has nothing to do with it. It's a combination of the following a) developers that don't care b) bad architects c) no...

Please be careful. Standing on the tracks is not a good idea, even if these are good photos.

Exactly! There isn't that much vandalism here, and maybe that's due to the care put into this park. It really is outstanding! And when people are surrounded by places worth caring about, they are much less likely to vandalize or litter in that place. I think maybe that's why CPTED (Crime...

That's a relief. Unfortunately, Toronto Hydro loves to replace good lighting with utilitarian poles & luminaires. Good thing that's not happening here!

Only took them two years to put some benches in.

I seriously don't understand how such a bulky monstrosity could've been approved, especially in the St Lawrence Area.
