In fairness, its not like this will be built out in the next decade either. Plenty of time for transit to come, and hopefully the increase in density is being used as a carrot to upper levels of government to fund it.

To be honest, I preferred the original podium. This looks terrible. Reminds me of a suburban Smart Centres plaza.

I've had more close calls with E-bikes than auto's, so I don't think the attention this issue is getting is disproportionate either. It's become so much worse over the past few months especially.

Nordstrom had one prior to closing. It was actually a nice spot.

It’s kind of cool seeing that you’re traveling on a bridge if you drive that portion of Front street, but you’d never know it from street level.

Damn, I was hoping this was Dishoom.

Let's see what comes out of this motion. If its just asking staff to go back and study ways to make it faster, I wouldn't be surprised to see push back and the status quo remain. Hopefully it's worded in a way that requires the changes as opposed to asking staff to consider.

But I said the north section, not the south section. I get the south section is behind, but the area from MCC to the north seems much further ahead.

@drum118 do you think a phased opening could happen here, with the north half to MCC opening first while work continues on the south end? Seems like the north end is in much better shape compared to the south.

That's the standard for unnamed laneways. It will eventually get a real name, but it's geographically based so EMS/Fire/Police can easily find them without a name.

City Planning "rules" aren't set in stone. If that was the case, there would be no legal right to rezoning or an OLT to decide on whether something should be approved or not.

What about this site is inferior? If anything, its a MUCH better site for a library. The SLM location was tiny and would have resulted in a mess of a library with all the requirements needed to accommodate residential on site as well. This gives the community a better library, more space, better...

Interesting... never noticed that Royal York doesn't have a PMTSA delineation. That would have likely lead to refusal of this since it wouldn't meet minimum density requirements.

I don’t think they’ll be around by time this development happens. They’re struggling and might not make it through the new year.

Ah that makes sense then regarding her position. Still interesting that MCC has no amenity ratio and yet developments seem to still be providing pretty generous amenities.

Interesting that the Mayor was strongly against it when it was a recommendation from her Housing Task Force. Hopefully the staff report recommends something similar and she will throw her support behind it because of staff recs.

This is one where the wires do a good job of distracting my eyes from that mess of a building. Please put them back.

This is exactly the situation here.

They are not just Architect of Record though. They are the design architect too, with support from Alison Brooks.

TCHC says aA is the lead architect on this @Paclo
