Is it strange that they have built the concrete retaining wall in front of the gap in the perimeter that is supposed to be the gate which trucks use to exit the site? The section I am referring to is on Spadina, North (left) of the raised black construction office.

But you aren't wrangling hungry small children and infants who have used up all their diaper supply, you don't have a medical condition making it difficult to go without food for so long etc. etc. You are best case scenario.

There was a considerable uptick in dirt hauling truck traffic this morning, but it is hard to see what is actually happening as the main work site is located away from the gate.

They ^ look happy!

I'm curious how many students they will actually have there next week. They had only recruited a few hundred first years through OUAC to programs based there as of 3rd June. Maybe they can bump up those numbers a bit with current students who find it more attractive to take classes there and...

Crikey! That easterly view ^ along iceboat terrace is quite something! In terms of place-marking we have the iconic CN Tower and the becoming-iconic The Well, and the CIBC building will make a spectacular perspective point/ view end-stopper (whatever the technical term is). BUT, the space looks...

1st Aug N.E. Corner Site Digging has begun! Maybe a foot or so…. (Apologies for the terrible picture!)

Replacing the car dealership? It’s only been there for a bit over a decade and sending all that building material to a landfill already seems wasteful.The condos on the Old Mill dealership’s old site haven’t been finished long.

tease!

I was curious about that too - Spadina itself is a total mess atm so I am not sure where you are sending the traffic from Lakeshore E. next once it is on Spadina...

Or just put pigment into the concrete. Maintenance is going to be a PITA.

And the area directly to the south is a good case in point. Streets and streets of town houses were built in the late 2000's and the TDSB etc. anticipated a large inflow of families. Instead, they were snapped up by landlords and stacked to the roof with (mostly foreign) students. There were...

It’s slightly ironic but the large blank wall backs on to graffiti alley. Shame some of the colour and vibrancy couldn’t percolate through the wall to brighten up the station.
