Very interesting finds
@Northern Light. So at a base, this is what Hydro One requires:
An unhindered, minimum 6-metre wide access path to facilities on the corridor must be provided for maintenance vehicles. A 15-metre clear working radius around transmission structures is required in order to maintain access for vehicles carrying out routine maintenance. A 3-metre radius around each tower footing must be left unpaved for access to the footing.
My investigation skills in city documents arent as good as yours so I cant pull up all those docs, the most I found for the Trillium Sherway Expansion were these:

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2021/ey/bgrd/backgroundfile-170239.pdf (140, 150, 160, 170, 190 and 220 Sherway Drive – Zoning By-law Amendment Application and Holding (H) Symbol – Final Report)
I find it hard to believe Hydro One would allow this to fly, I dont think there's precedent anywhere for having a high-rise development
this close to one of their most critical transmission lines. Heck i'm even surprised they havent said anything about the proposals on Jopling Ave.
