Same or similar system being installed on King West. On King, however, they're also replacing top soil, adding fertilizer, and placing plastic mesh around the narrower trunks.

Sure, but our tarmac streets aren't in great shape either, thanks to Winter. I'd rather have brick in rough shape than tarmac. Those are the kind of streets that give a city character. But anyway, I'm derailing the thread.

Russia, Scandinavia? But why compare to Europe. Montreal and Quebec City have many stone paved streets. Granted they are not high traffic, but there are plenty of Toronto streets that could be cobbled and survive Winters. And besides, I'll take dilapidated stone paving over dilapidated tarmac...

Did anyone take a picture?...I can't open Twitter at work.

Well I'm not a landscaper, but I'd say: - It's relatively hard wearing compared to turf; - It provides a relatively firm surface; - It's permeable to water and air, for roots and drainage; - It's low maintainence and easy to "fix"/replace; and - It's inexpensive. As I said, it's pretty...

I believe it's crushed gravel. Similar to many squares in Europe.

If only we had a warmer climate like Quebec City, we too could have cobbled pedestrian lane ways with patios, and fountains, and such.

I may be wrong, but I believe those are two different parks; both are planned.

Gross. I’m actually more disturb by its exterior than what’s inside. It looks like a rending of Yorkdale Mall. And of course, what you don't see are the sides and back which will have all the character and interest of a giant windowless garden shed.

Don't know if this is legit, but a recent comment: :Steven Debus said 3 hours ago I agree with a number of commentors here about the rewards for donating money. I will personally contribute $50,000 if we can make the arrangement that upon receiving the video it will be aired live at a video...

Hard Candy Fitness is going into the top retail floor.

It's been like that since construction finished. Sloppy workmanship that nobody bothered to clean up, I guess.

Awesome. Option D was my fav.

Blogto article on Clarence Square restoration. Just a couple photos, but it looks good. http://www.blogto.com/city/2012/12/historic_clarence_square_gets_a_facelift/

Some new trees are in on the north side (stand alone, not the planters); smaller like the Bloor west batch - hopefully less chance of transplant shock.
