let's not get ahead of ourselves

yeah, Shopify is not moving to the new building. Let's see when a new corporate tenant will lease the building given the current hybrid working environment.

Already a drastic improvement on Wellington. But when the trees and plants go in; this will be just great, even more so with some animation from retail in a few spots.

So those benches edging the flower beds on Wellington look good, but won't prevent off-leash dogs from running underneath and taking a poop.

I do love the benches and think there should be way more benches placed throughout the city. Oddly enough I picked up on the space below the benches also for all the irresponsible dog owners!
Other than that I love this project.

More benches would encourage more homeless people to camp on them.

With that kind of attitude you would not have any seats on transit or in libraries. Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater. There are now FAR more and far more comfortable benches in Berczy Park - it does not seem to have more homeless using them that before the renovation - in fact far fewer.

And why shouldn't unhoused people use benches? Aren't they citizens of the city, as well? Or is there an income cut off for bench use in the city?

I almost never see unhoused people use benches in the city. Most unhoused people are more likely to sit on subway grates (because they are warm) or lie in a place where they can remain undisturbed.

You're right. Our embarrassingly fragile-and-in-decline social service network needs a robust injection of cash at all levels of government.
