I think the item above belongs in the other "The Junction" neighbourhood thread: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/the-junction.5008/page-43
Thanks to an odd quirk of Toronto's neighbourhood boundaries, what you and I would consider the Junction (and the area affected by the HCD linked above) is actually outside the boundaries of "Junction-Wallace Emerson" as defined by the city.

Not sure if Dovercourt is considered Wallace Junction and yes I did consult the official neighbourhood map. Anyways there is a Lebanese resto/café going into the south unit of this building. What I find interesting is that it is basically equidistant to Dovercourt south of Dupont, Geary Avenue and the developing node on Davenport.

The creation of a public library is such an action of civility and optimism! Taken 10 January.

Any idea what they're actually doing with that space? Would be nice if this was more that just a parking spot re-paving.

Judging by the size of the opening of the unit and surrounding uses I’m guessing a patio for a resto/café.

1110 Dupont, despite appearances, is hosting theatre/choirs as yet another sign of the surge in new uses along the street.
