You mean the driveway on the left of the edge towers?

Well what would you have done?

The city should have set out service streets in the secondary plan for the neighbourhood, so there would have been a single public street to which both developments connect their driveways/access roads.
Im working on a project on the waterfront in Toronto and that is how servicing is being set up down there, I feel like it is better urban design. plus the edge towers have those nice looking pops or parkette things by the parking garage entrances, it would be even nicer if it was more publically accessible.

I agree but I think you don’t need to cross any security to drive down those private streets so it works the same although not as nice.

...yes, that would least more productive than setting city officials a flame.

This site is still not fully at grade yet, but is formed to be so at the south end in the next few weeks
Still lost as to where access to the building will be as things are not lining up to be where it said to be. If it is to be where it is, it will be a hard right into the building as well a hard left to get out.
Photos are up for Nov 4 and a few from today unaudited

@drum118 Isn't the garage ramp going to be directly opposite the ramp for tower 2?

I don't see it happening based on what is there bow. The view of the ramp from the south end has it coming up to a higher level above ground considering someone posted a plan of it access the road at the south west corner. There is grading taking place for that area now, but it would be a hard right in and out with a raised area inside of the building.
If the ramp is to be where you say it maybe, it would be a slop up in place of slop down like the other 2 towers.
I could be out to lunch on this, but only going by what I am seeing and it has been that way for months.

@Tim MacDonald had a look at the site today as well shooting it. The final south-east corner slab area was being pour for the building be fully at grade.
Looking at the ramp, it is in the center of of the building in all directions to the top of the grade level. Looking east of the driveway between the 2 towers, the top of the ramp lines up with the ramp for the building to the west with room for a driveway, but impossible to gain access to the ramp. There is room to the north that will allow room to gain access to the ramp and will not line up with the other building ramp and the only area I can see the access to the ramp to be at this time.
Could unedited shots with the rest up in January

Do you know if the second building of edge towers has a two floor penthouse? The lights are always on the top two floors facing North. I’m curious.

I'd have to go through my photos but I think the top floor is mechanical with a double height window belt.

Definitely mechanical:
