I doubt it -- I think it is adorable, and just the kind of whimsy that Toronto rarely does in its public art.

Is this supposed to also have an entrance to the Crosstown? It's not immediately apparent in the render where that would be.

Sure, all concept art and renders are overly pretty. But the above examples are particularly egregious by suggesting that the material the tubes will be made out of will be transparent, which is absolutely absurd.

Why the heck would one run a Hyperloop down Spadina?! And perhaps it's just my general bias against elevated transit in cities, but those tubes look incredibly intrusive, even when rendered with fantastical clear tubes.

Canada will be purchasing 18 Super Hornets to tide it over while engaging in a 5-year bidding process. So I think that counts as "progress", although I don't know when they will actually be delivered. (I personally think that the Super Hornet is a pretty good choice for Canada in general. It...

Who wants to have their front door open onto Bay? I don't get the appeal of these.

It's actually the new Canary District condo building, one block east. The signs for the TD have been in the windows of the retail space for a while.

The TBM cutter head from Don is now out of the tunnel. Boy, that sucker is huge. It will be hauled away this evening.

I realize that Urbacon built the first one as well, but it seemed odd to me that they would build the first centre for someone else, then build their own data centre right next door.

So is the new building related to the original Equinix site? The "Parliament Street Data Centre" (or TR2) isn't owned by Urbacon Data Centre Solutions -- is this new building simply piggybacking on the connectivity close by, or is there an actual business relationship between them? (I can...

There is an enormous crane being assembled on the east side of Yonge on Eglinton in the same on-street workspace as the other Crosstown work. Would this be to remove the eastern TBMs, or for something else? (Given the huge size of the base, I'm not sure how far the crane can actually rotate...

Sad!

I don't see why it's an issue at all -- Bombardier seems to be arguing that Metrolinx can't terminate the contract because it will make Bombardier look bad. Well, duh.

This will be a gorgeous building once completed, with an innovative design for Toronto. Unfortunately, the west ground-level face presents a large slab of blank concrete, and the north side of the building has several stories of blank wall. The latter is somewhat understandable being next to...

How about instead we simply hold a lottery for all of Scarborough and pay 2,300 random people $500,000? It would be much cheaper than this boondoggle.

That address isn't correct -- Sukhothai is going in next to Souk Tabule (at 494 Front E.). Work has been going on at this location for a long time (around the same time work started on Souk), so it's good to see some progress. (Good neighbourhood food also includes Dominion at Sumach and...

With major developments on two of the corners, I can't imagine the gas station will be there for long -- the market is speaking pretty loudly.

But but, didn't he see that the doors open?! And the lights work?!

All those things would make the street more desirable, which would raise rents.
