    I stumbled upon the crane operators instagram, he seems to post amazing views every day (https://www.instagram.com/canadian_cranes?igsh=MTFnMWFsNGJxNzBmbw==). In one of his clips, he said this crane is the tallest free standing crane in North America!

    Will part 2 of the build connect the two towers like seen in the render? First photo is from Feb 7 viewing out of Princess Margaret cancer research tower

    I recall seeing a PDF for Sunnybrook's master plan which involves adding a 6-8 story building on their current parking lot outside M-wing. All I can find now is just a photo of the proposed building on this site. Not sure if they'll retain parking at that location, but as a Sunnybrook employee...

    I spoke way too soon.. looks like they're going to do some more digging in the upcoming week for water main connection. Hope they aren't going to tear up a lot of road

    Just walked through Y&E, there are ZERO lane restrictions or sidewalk restrictions! Aside from the couple missing sidewalk pavers needed to be poured, it's pretty much back to 100%.

    I didn't show it, but there is a fire pit at the floor of the gazebo. It looks like a gas fire pit, but even if it's not I'm not sure if having a wooden structure over a fire pit would be safe

    I just wanted to point out some details of the Hart House plaza. The gazebo looks really nice, though the metal work around adjacent panels could be a bit cleaner. The wooden benches are something I haven't seen anywhere else really, they're quite beautiful. I believe UofT wanted to salvage...

    Concrete pour of level 2 from November 23: Photos from today (Dec 11): Given my convenient view, I'll probably post updates every few weeks. They're going fast

    Lots of road construction happening in these next few weeks. As per the community notices, it seems like the road surfaces will be mostly finished by end of Jan. Permanent traffic lights were just installed a few days ago across all four directions. Here are some photos As well, the...

    I work with MRI scanners, and some NMR scanners. There is almost always a taped outline for the residual magnetic field of 5 Gauss (0.005 Tesla) around the scanner. Electronic devices generally operate no problem outside the 5 Gauss line, which is why we have it outlined. However since NMR...

    Sunset on November 16 from PMCRT: From peering in, it seems like a lot of the interior is furnished. I wonder when it will open doors

    Nice photo! Question for anyone: I haven't seen sand being used as a filler below road surfaces before. Is this common?

    November 11: small update, but mulch has been added to many of the needed areas sometime this last week: What's interesting is you can see some steam/hot water pipes sticking out of the ground at Med Sci. This is for the future Med Sci renovation, which will include a geothermal field...

    November 10: it looks like they are encasing the surface utilities in concrete! No more digging, only backfilling now! One step closer to having the road repaved. Due to the concrete pumping truck, Eglinton is one lane at Yonge - Eglinton with police guiding traffic. Be on the look out for...

    You can easily get on the pedestrian only path by driving west on Wellesley and turning right onto Hart House Circle. I've seen many Ubers do that and it's quite frustrating to see. There's no road to walkway transition over there (i.e it's continuous). Obviously construction vehicles need to...
