Big Miss by the developer to not finish the underside of the balconies.

This tower is causing extremely inhospitable winds for pedestrians. I can only imagine how loud it must be on the upper corner units.

Where did you get this information? Have you seen people getting blown off their feet? Second-hand anecdotes? I am assuming a wind study was completed before the tower was built...

I walk this intersection every day. Anyone who was at the intersection today can attest to the accuracy of my experience.

I recently saw a mans construction hard hat fly off his head and into traffic, along with his coffee cup.

Important to note that wind studies primarily ensure structural integrity, not necessarily to ensure a comfortable pedestrian environment.

I don't walk by as often but I've noticed even slight winds feel amplified while walking on east on Dupont past Galleria Rd on the west side of the community centre. I walked by on a windy day last week and was shocked how strong the winds were approaching the Galleria 1 & 2 and while walking alongside it. Can imagine it'll be especially challenging for anyone with mobility or stability challenges.

Wind studies should and usually do look at the pedestrian environment but the thresholds for what is acceptable can be pretty high - for better or worse. Might be better with some landscaping or awnings, but it doesn't fix the problem and landscaping doesn't do much in winter. Hopefully something can be done about it if it's worse than expected.
