Goodness, there's a lot of science fiction/fantasy in those proposals when realizing the host is Madison headlining Turner Fleischer. We'd be lucky if we're end up with Time and Space 2.0, IMO. /sigh
- Park/School yard is way too formal, too much hardscape
- Panel not liking the N-S connection through the 'B' buildings facing Eglinton at Warden. Feeling it seemed too private, not inviting.
- Some sense the plan for the site was a bit too vehicle centred. Particular dislike was expressed for the over-sized turning circles.
- Some feeling the site just needed a bit more vibrance to it.

Things we learned, plan is to retain on-site supermarket, no confirmation if this will be Adonis. Supermarket to go on 2nd floor above ground at the corner of Eglinton/Warden.
Possible relationship to Centennial we knew about, but extensive discussions on-going for them to occupy grade-level, maybe more in 2 buildings at the North-west extreme of the development.
Entire site appears to be concieved to sit on one giant slab; that poses problems in my mind in regards to ground water. Some question raised about it in respect of runoff by panel; I'm thinking more about ground water outside the block and how its suppose to migrate around the site.
