What did you think of the meeting @skycandy ?

Was unable to attend - only briefly popped in long after the presentations. There were some spirited (good) discussions among the remaining folks that were there. And talk of another public meeting in a few months. Thanks for posting the presentation above, @AlvinofDiaspar.

This is driving me nuts - what is that metal crane-looking thing in the renderings? It's even in the physical model. Don't get me wrong, I like it (in that it's something different) but just can't figure out what it is/does.

It's exactly that! It's an existing crane that they plan to repurpose as public art.

I love it! It's like a remnant of an industrial past left behind in the post-apocalyptic rebirth of the land.

That bear with canoe slide is also amazing.
That beaver is just creepy and is tripping me out a bit, but I'll take it over what's there today.

I'm so stoked for this I could cry. I'm gonna go live down there when it's all done up and visit my homie the slide bear on a daily.

crazy to think that all of those are actually funded and moving ahead. Going to be extremely exciting to see this get built.

 

[FMCS]

And I think the bridge designs are great! Simple yet elegant and of a style that will be quite tireless.

Yes; astonishingly un-Toronto.

The Salt Depot at Cherry just north of Unwin (on Ship Channel is as empty as I have ever seen it - hard winter I guess.

Too bad there are no plans to pedestrianize that potion of the waters edge.

I'd imagine that it is a shortish term lease until that section of the portlands is redeveloped - probably 15 years out.

I see Cinespace is moving to make way for the GM innovation centre on Eastern.
