    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    No worries. Plans change, so perhaps you saw an earlier one? I thought hotel rooms only went up to level 7, so I learned something new as well. I expect construction to start flying again now that they are above level 2. The floorplates are generally the same up to level 7. Starting on level 8...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    The stats on the plans don't actually say the number of hotel rooms, only the GFA. Going through the floor plans, hotel rooms are located on floors 3-12 with the exception of floor 7 as that's for amenities. I counted 222 hotel rooms. This is just for Phase 2 as I don't believe there are any...

    That, and considering their friend's playoff performances down Bremner, Shanahan still has a job. It will take a few more playoff losses before Shapiro's job is threatened. And while Shapiro is higher ranked and might make final calls on some player contracts/trades, Atkins is more responsible...

    “Uh, Frank? Did they measure this twice before cutting? It’s 3/8 too short!”

    A cover with the Rogers Centre logo was put over the SkyDome logo when the name was changed. I am glad to see many have fallen/been taken off revealing the old logo.

    Jesse Ketchum Park will not be affected by shadows. I see Pinnacle having a more favourable recommendation regardless

    How does one go about getting a couple of the old seats?

    The decision now rests with the OLT. Staff are requesting that they be directed to oppose the increase at a future hearing. Too early to tell if it will go to a full hearing or if a settlement will be reached. If it's the former, then probably looking at almost a year for the hearing, then a few...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Yes, but it seemed more proactive to clear out the leaves before the drains became clogged. No notice, just an army of trucks one late October morning scooping, plowing, vacuuming and hauling truckloads of leaves away. I moved here in August, but neighbours said it's usually done every year...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    I thought this service was only in Etobicoke and Scarborough but there were City crews in my neighbourhood (Woodbine and Danforth) collecting leaves from the sidewalks and gutters.

    I had the December 18, 2020 arch. plans saved to my computer. From what I can tell, most amenity space is on the 6th floor, with some on the 5th, 5th Floor Interior Amenity 6th Floor Interior Amenity 6th Floor Exterior Amenity

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    IBM definitely has something against left turns at traffic signals. Their Markham offices at Steeles and Esna Park has an EB to NB ramp under WB Steeles, and the Warden office has a NB to WB flyover

    Lovely pics. If I were to have a staycation in the City, it would be here. Not to continue this off-topic discussion too much, but I see this with a lot of the oaks on my street. Funny enough, for most of them it's only the bottom 1/4 (of the tree's canopy) still holding their leaves.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Bill 23 received Royal Assent last night. No changes to the Greenbelt were made as they were never part of this Bill. Any changes to the Greenbelt will come under separate legislation.
