Does anyone know if traffic lights are to be installed at the intersections of Power/Richmond and Power/Adelaide?
Pedestrian crossing at these corners is often difficult and dangerous with drivers racing off the overpass.

Richmond is almost impossible to cross. You pretty much have to risk your life every time. Adelaide is more manageable because of the light at Parliament.

I think so… it was in the drawing.

We have dodged traffic with a stroller there many times while walking home from the Regent Park playground, so this will be very welcome!

Looks like we’re getting front loaders for washer and dryers… unlike Yonge+Rich

This manages to be overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time.

What do you like about this project? Honestly, I'm struggling and would love some help, lol.

I actually thought I'd have a quick answer but I really don't. I realize there are small elements that I like like the glass on certain elevations but it's really not an attractive building.

I kinda like the overbearing and dystopian look. It looks ominous in a sort of Blade Runner way in @f_gho's night time photos.

But I realize it's a pretty cheaply made building because of the many mullions and transoms in the window wall, plus the glassy ground level retail. They also made no effort to disguise the back painted panels like the East 55 building.
