That's simply untrue, unless you're referring to other wide, elevated expanses of expressway in the city. It's just plainly very different.

Your argument is basically that degree is irrelevant, which is certainly peculiar and not particularly supported by fact.

Before we all go off on a tangent discussing whether there is a difference in air quality near Gardiner or not, just remind yourself what our city looked like just a couple of decades ago during a good stretch of the summer:

Good thing our new government got rid of the Drive Clean program that made the smog go away. Now the entire city can live right next to the Gardiner again.

Spandrel is most often glass that has been painted on the side that's sheltered from the elements. Second most common type would be painted or powder coated aluminum. If the spandrel has a bit of a gloss on it, it's likely the back-painted glass, if not, it's likely aluminum. Either way, it's an opaque outer coat behind which one normally finds the typical components of a wall.

Does anyone know when they will start laying the bricks? Is it safe to assume the scaffolding on the west wall is for this purpose?

They could be laying brick right now for all we know. Yes, the tarped-off scaffolding on the west side is for that exact purpose. Who knows what wondrous/monstrous things are happening behind the tarps...

Looks best when you can’t see it very well.

Nope! Looks best when you look away and pretend you never saw it.

Except a) it will rise a lot higher and b) the foreground will be a G+C project

I noticed today that they are putting up scaffolding and tarps around the block where they will be reinstalling the masonry of the old Loblaw warehouse (corner Bathurst & Lake Shore). I assume they will work on this over the winter.

My daughter has a way with expressions. Once in a discussion on some obscure point she opined " that its 's not hard to understand if you don't think about it ". There seems to be a lot of this going around.
