Nope, no clubs of cafes down there. Had you actually walked along that "romantic" lane, you would have seen no retail space available. This is strictly for car movements.
 
18 December 2012: Nimbies, shadowy dark & romantic alleys framed by tall buildings can be exciting! From Charlotte Street looking west, Fashion House rising in the distance. c.2030 will this alley be lined with cafes & clubs? Hope so!
I'm with you, but this particular alley is a fire lane :/
 
I'm not one to complain that everything in Toronto is grey - brown and beige are probably the strongest colours in Toronto's palette - but grey has lost its sleekness in the last five years due to its recent overuse. I think we should have a new neutral take over for newer developments. Rust? Chocolate brown? Black?
 
Haha...well in that case, then I vote for BLACK. At least for a few years of construction. I think black makes anything look classic, more elegant and more expensive than it actually is. Black window mullions look so much better than grey ones...and I can't see them being that much more expensive (if at all!!).
