Supportive of development as long as it isn’t in your community… Isn’t that the definition of NIMBY? Asking for a friend

The affiliation is not financial. The affiliation is an "in-kind" relationship. The school pays rental on any and all UofT spaces it uses. The kids get T-cards, and have limited access to the libraries, but no access to UofT wi-fi etc. Staff have some privileges in terms of tuition. There is...

This project was carried out by University of Toronto Schools, not University of Toronto @Lyphe . While UofT originally founded the school, the school has been independent of the university since 2004. They are not the same entity UofT owns the site and building, and the school only has a long...

Thanks - I'll try that. AmJ

This gift to Adelaide (credit to @ponyboy from the relevant project thread) Now sadly looks like this (08-28-2022) It looks like the usual tiling problem strikes again....

The current state (28th Aug 2022) of the outdoor space - a far cry from the 2018 pictures above ^ . Yet again, Toronto can't have nice things like fountains. Is there a way to get the water feature reinstated as I think the space is a POP. Is it the responsibility of the Condo Board? Calling...

Better late than never!

Some of the London Underground platforms are very deep, and escalators work fine... The escalator at Angel has a rise of 27m and no one seems to have a major problem with it.

Some activity on site - this morning View from Cameron St. looking towards E to Spadina Ave.

Two words: Boris and Johnson.

The same developer is rumoured to be planning to start work on a hotel, also a Hyatt, at Queen and Spadina this fall. That area is a bit gritty atm, and about to have Ontario Line construction on two corners. AmJ

By day this building appears quite dark in colour, but at sunset it literally lights up....

Grange Park last night. I wish we didn't need the traffic cones... They seem to be covering up holes in the stones that form the base of the fountain.

That's a top useful post @reaperexpress! Thank you! AmJ

I wish they would put on a morning run Toronto-> Kitchener! I would be on the 6.30 am to Guelph every workday morning. I hate the drive, especially in the winter. I wonder whether they have studied the business case as I bet there are a lot of potential customers reverse commuting. Quite a few...

Joe Cressy resigned as councillor of Ward 10 effective May 31st and his spot is being kept warm by Joe Mihevc. Councillor Mihevc has promised not to do anything before the next election when he won’t run for the position. Link to City announcement

Walking back through NPS from Massey Hall on Friday night, (North->South) NPS initially was attractive, colourful and full of people talking pictures and hanging out. The area between NPS and Queen St. Is much darker and with numerous large empty planters devoid of planting - not attractive...

But how are normal people expected to save up 160k plus closing costs on top of their living expenses, when 25% of the working population are making less than 70k a year?

I really like this proposal - the affordable housing aspect is good and the design is pleasing as it stands at the moment. Only 13 stories seems low - I would happily take a couple more stories for more affordable housing. This is a wide avenue with decent, and rapidly improving, transit links...

The extension of Augusta Ave. is coming together. This is taken on the corner of Augusta and Grange Ave. Facing North. This new street will form the eastern boundary of the MRKT development I believe.
