Can we add a big old baseball bat to the Beyonce statue in the Destiny's Child group?

There is a Jane's Walk next weekend that is focusing on the new artwork in the West Don Lands.

Great news for cyclists in the West Don Lands: the city's newly-released ten-year infrastructure plan includes a potential new crossing of the Don near Eastern:



If the plan is passed by council, there will actually be funding to build it too.

Post-fireworks yesterday, I made a couple of stops on my way home to get some public art by night-lighting.

Marman and Borin's Water Guardians:

Tadashi Kawabata's "Street Lights":

There is a water play area near the water guardians sculpture. 4 short light posts with buttons like at a traffic light, and potlights with water nozzles on the ground. Maybe it is not connected yet. At first I thought it required 4 people pressing the button on each post at the same time but alas that was not the case, to my great embarrassment.

I must say I'm excited to go back, because as I can see in those pictures, the leaves are out now. The fact that they weren't on my last trip probably made things look a little extra dull and greyscale.

It's definitely a lot less depressing now with the trees filling in.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, to say the least. I think it's looking fantastic. Clean and sharp. I could live here--

I know I've asked this before, but I'm still not clear what's going on with the asphalted lots shown in some of those pics. Are they being developed into condos soon, or?

I still think it looks dull and sterile inspite of all the greenery.

Yes, there are some things I like about Pan Am and some things I don't. The lack of color is still a problem for me. That can be changed with the future projects, though.

I see a few people walking around. It finally is starting to come to life.

Yep I've moved in as of Thursday and I agree it still looks a bit dull but the trees are helping and there's still time before the other retailers start opening and bringing more activity the area.

Overall, I love my condo and building! The protected view is amazing too.

 

[Edward Skira]

You can't move for the next 20 years! You have the perfect vantage point to document the development of the Unilever site for us @downtownliving

We're thinking of renting one of the condos in the area. What neighbourhood amenities are there for day-to-day? For example, where do you buy groceries, or grab a cheap bite out?
