After seeing the above photos I went directly to the database page to see who the landscape architect was and was not at all surprised to see it be Claude Cormier + Associés.

Well done to this team.

Does this park have a name? Looking to update Open Street Map.

Wow, benches with backrests on them! Great to see a new park come in that doesn't have anti-human design features.

They look very similar to the benches at Berczy, which has a mix of ones with backs and ones without. But the backless ones aren't due to anti-human design in this case, they're designed so you can sit on either side and either face the square or face the sidewalk.

Checked out the new park today. Looking good (though trees are just twigs for now).

And a shot of the remaining parcel with all 4 cranes

So put benches on both sides of a backrest...

Planter beds planted. Bike rings in.

Any ideas on that squiggly thing underneath the lower balcony box?

Giant curtain tracks? (I've been wondering about those too)

Has anyone heard any news on the retail for this? The supposed grocery store still hasn't happened. The windows are still papered over the way they've been since this building finished.
