The above story, for those who haven't clicked through, suggests that at least 2 U.S. navy ships deployed to the Iran theatre are very short on food. My first instinct was that this was possibly an exaggeration. But through a contact, I am satisfied that there is severe rationing. To me...

As noted above, this project won't be moving ahead in the near term. You can see some signs of construction on the Sobeys by the entrance, this is part of the major reno I mentioned. The exterior is getting a new appearance around the entrance. Based on the interior, I'd say they're about...

Yes, they started the dig down last fall.

This proposal (this thread) is a work of fiction as currently proposed........ The two 25-storey buildings in the Block Context Plan are 'soft sites'; meaning there is no proposal at this time. Its just an idea used to put the current proposal into a future, imagined, context.

Thanks Dan for the thorough and helpful answer.

Something that had a significant effect on percieved lighting was the change in ceiling colour over the tracks. When the TTC went from white to black , or removed the silver, reflective slats for black, matte finish paint, it really darkened the appearance of the station platforms. I'll add...

@AlbertC always giving me work to do........... NOAC was issued here at the beginning of February. Demolition permit was issued in January. Drain/Site service permits are in progress Mech/Plumbing are 'ready for issuance'. New Building is in progress.

As I said just above, CPKC would be fine with a couple of weekend runs, they are not the issue, for that particular service ask.

Are these guesses for 151 or for the former Club Monaco space?

The details of what's coming will be revealed in due course. I can't put them all out publicly or my sources of information would dry up in a hurry.

LOL, CPKC; and No, CPKC would be fine with a couple of weekend runs. **** Stay tuned. Your beliefs may be challenged sooner than later.

The above discussion leads me to ask @smallspy: 1) Is it possible to refit the flexities with a suspension that would make the level boarding at modified islands work? 2) Given the problem that may cause at non-island stops, would there be any sense to segregating the fleet so that those that...

I'm not that far from Bela Square and I can tell you, based on night time illumination that lease up is not going well. I don't think they've reached 25%. I'm fascinated by the ferocity of the resistance to cutting the asking rents. I get the desire not to firesale, but for buildings that...

A motion at the next meeting of Council points to just how problematic this park has become and how Parks, isn't helping. 1) The motion directs park to accept elements of a community led design for the space that Parks already rejected. No one actually likes what Parks proposed. This...

This one is on the agenda for the next meeting of City Council seeking Council endorsement to go to the OLT to alter the previous approval to line up with the modifications being made here. Graywood is looking to start construction this summer...

Resubmission here (zoning), they would like another 10 floors on both towers. The two towers combined will have 10 elevators at tower level for an average of 1 elevator per 100 units. @Paclo

I don't eat at McDs myself, but its a useful price comparitor which most people get. McDs is still the second biggest chain by revenue in Canada, after Tim's, another place I don't frequent

The luxury market is actually pretty healthy, but I wouldn't describe any of these as reaching that threshold. 80 Bloor W has the potential, but still needs some serious refinement to get there. The 19 Bloor West project is outright trash, and wouldn't pass mid-market muster.

Its not a real proposals, of course.....but why would anyone commission a render so ugly? If its pretend, can't we pretend it could be done well?

I greatly respect your knowledge Dan, so rather than just guess........ I double checked (just now) with a trade that does these for commercial settings, I was told I was being a bit aggressive, but not much, providing the spec was epoxy Terrazzo, rather than cement (I was told epoxy is now...
