It sounds like in terms of infrastructure it will likely be cheaper than Bike Share.

I'm surprised at the investment in this location, since the other three corners either have actual or proposed high-rises. How long will this corner last as a low-rise?

Yeah, and I'm not crazy about the way that this building (and Bridgepoint) encroach on the valley.

Should every company that rents bikes be required to do that?

They only need to go a TBM-length further (and actually most of the machinery apart from the actual cutting head can likely be removed through the tunnel itself.) And, again, if you're talking about the cost of maintaining them in situ versus the cost of creating a huge extraction shaft in the...

Sure, that's preferable. But in specific, I don't think that we need to route the DRL based on potential TBM extraction points downtown.

Do the TBMs even need to be extracted? If the tunnel will eventually be extended west and north, why not simply have them tunnel a bit farther and then park them, to be used later?

Are there any plans to clean the brickwork? I know when they did that with Victoria College some years back, it was a revelation.

Yes, Time and Space is a horrible project, but projects like that are setting the scale for the neighbourhood. It's my understanding that the Staples lot is to be redeveloped as well, and certainly it currently is not in keeping with the form of King Street further west. I think the Globe and...

Buses don't have the same capacity as LRT, and would be slower.

The LRT would have had more stops and served far more local riders, which would seem to be addressing the concerns of actual transit users in that area.

Unless you're referring solely to the ground level, I strongly disagree -- certainly the interior corner on the southwest side of the building is both eye-catching and eye-watering, as one tries to work out what is the corner and what is the reflection. It's a bit like Escher in solid form...

It has a Freshii instead. Of course, there is also a huge frontage on King Street that will be retail as well.

Boom. (Although the article says that these vehicles are larger than the Bombardier ones -- I wonder if that would have any impact on stop platforms.)

What exactly is a "non-executive chairman"?

Tory's position seems completely reasonable. If the province wants Toronto to push riders from the north through an at-capacity Bloor-Yonge, it has to help reduce the number of riders going there currently from elsewhere on the system.

Welcome, technics, and thanks for the insider views!

Am I mistaken, or is there irony in this previously being rumoured to be an Apple Store?

My point is that this will by no means be the largest building in this area in 5 years, so I wouldn't blame it for the densification to come. (And again, 318 King to the northeast is even larger.)

Its context includes the Staples lot across the street to the east that is up for redevelopment soon, a large condo to its northeast, and several sizeable developments going in a block to its west. It may be seem "out of context" now, but it is merely a pioneer for similarly-sized projects...
