Yeah I have blackout/thick curtains like almost everyone downtown - these curtains are to darken a room against general light pollution, i.e. that pale yellow/orange light that I don’t mind actually, the curtains are more to block the morning sun if I want to sleep in on summer weekends. In the...

Scotiabank Arena began to align to the by-law a few weeks ago but there have been issues with consistency, e.g. the text is dimmed but the S isn’t, vice versa, everything is dimmed except a few letters, etc. It’s fine that there are technical issues, just reflects poorly on MLSE that they had...

There will no doubt be a massive group hug ribbon-cutting ceremony when this is *functionally* complete (I'm not sure it'll ever be fully complete), with the usual quips on the magnitude of construction being alongside the busiest commuter hub in the country and having to retain the historical...

This looked like it would be completed ahead of schedule and they could open up critical lanes on Bremner again, until PCL seemed to suddenly stop working on the ground floor and canopy for some reason.

Thanks for the heads up Michael62, I probably wouldn’t have noticed until I went out on my balcony in the spring. :)

Spring 2020 seems to be a product of the "shared access agreement" mentioned in the article, which allows Metrolinx to start their work while the City finishes theirs.

November 26 - Curtainwall work has almost stopped.. likely waiting for floors to be done now.
