I wonder if one way around these issues is to require that any building over a certain age automatically acquire provisional heritage designation, and thus need an explicit process to de-designate, rather than the reverse as it is now.

I don't think I've ever seen a vehicle with that many wheels.

Those metal panel designs look like something you'd see in the Tardis.

I was wondering when that location would see some development -- it seems a like a prime candidate.

I'm beginning to think that silva cells are magic -- the results they've produced here and along the eastern waterfront are astounding. (I am also sure that improved silviculture by the city is also a big part of this).

Is the cat on the reflective utility box at the southwest corner of the park actually looking at anything, like its companion on the fountain is? The best I could figure is it's fascinated by L-Tower...

There are parking garage entrances on King, as well as businesses that receive deliveries there. It would be extremely difficult logistically to completely ban cars on King.

The "extended sidewalks" are largely a safety measure for passengers alighting the streetcars.

I'd say that increasing potential capacity is the whole point, which you can get by decreasing transit times (and thus have more runs per unit time). But since the whole thing is a pilot project, I'm not too upset that staff don't have any predictions of how times will be impacted. It's...

Sure, but that logic also applies to sales -- prices may be higher if one waits to sell. But I don't see a ton of projects already under construction intentionally delaying.

That's a pretty narrow lot. I also wonder what will happen to the dealership next door. Is it still slated for re-development?

What reasonably can be done with the silos? Are they actually usable for their interior space -- that is, are they in good enough shape to be rehabilitated?

I don't follow this reasoning -- is there a limit to the rent that can initially be charged on completely new units? Don't the new regulations impact rent increases, and not initial rent levels?

The balconies really make these buildings. I don't know why, but they have a weird and kind of disturbing visual effect. I think they're great.

There's definitely retail going into the entire King side of the building (there are For Lease signs), and I believe the eastern section is already leased, based on the signs there.

There will be a restaurant in Harris Square, and street level retail in River City 3 across the street. The buildings of West Donlands may be largely monochrome, but the area is anything but "dystopian" -- it's some of the better city-building around, with broad plazas that include lively public...

Are there internal structural limits as to the amount of open/unstructured space that could be created inside? Libraries and museums need relatively large unobstructed open spaces.

Huh. I stand corrected.

Jesus that's horrific. Was there no attempt at all to match the colour and design (e.g., the horizontal indentations) of the original?

Sure, but Boston Pizza seems to be spending a lot on a fancy retractable roofing system, when I would think that a proposal for a high-rise on this corner would be forthcoming in only a couple of years.
