That last image is a little mind-blowing for me, let alone a lot of people who frequented this park before. I used to come here a little more often around 6-7 years ago. Thanks for showing this angle, despite the design being rather unappealing (IMO), this is a great project for the area.

This park is awesome. It really could be four times the size though. There’s ALOT more people using this than 6-7 years ago

Post a lot of shots of the tower from various locations last night with more to come and it looks like then the tower should be top off the first week of November. I had it at level 59 by my shots that day.

The 40 story is at level 35 as of Nov 3

The towers can be seen from Dundas today as well the Queensway

As of Nov 3, the podium of the 4th tower is basely form and it will be top off mid 2026.

Absolutely. It was suitable for the time it was built in, but I say that in understanding the programing always felt too cramped in this park.

I think the original plans was that the school was going to go and a park extension would happen. Based on the elm public schools portables and Fairview now opening their old portables, i no longer think that’s in the cards. It would be nice if the city could get together with the school board and upgrade the Fairview park so at least city residents had a place to go off school hours.
 
Oh, I was referring to an expansion of Kariya. It's very cramped in todays context of a "downtown" core, but I do want to see other parks like Fairview expanded upon, especially given the mammoth M City project is next door. (And while it has its own park, I think a proactive plan for park management on the west side of MCC is necessary given the future plans of the area as a whole.

Yes. I know. But I think those plans are now on the back burner because elm school is too small, so Fairview can’t close and there’s no downtown school. You can’t keep building 70 floor towers and not add school capacity.

Apologies, I misread that. I'm glad they're addressing this issue, as I know other schools will be/are struggling with this now. (TLKennedy, Father Michael Goetz)
 
Yeah clearly they under-built Elm Drive PS when they just added those portables to a brand new school. Although I have to say this a common situation I've noticed with new schools in Mississauga at least, they're constantly under-built, and then need additions in a few years. For example, the two elementary schools close to my parents house, when growing up, both were built AND had additions done after the original build (St. Gregory and Britannia PS, specifically) and where the additions were done is pretty obvious from the slightly different colours of brick used. I feel like this is almost done on purpose and in a few years Elm Drive PS will get an addition. But yeah there's no chance of closing Fairview while Elm Dr is overcapacity.
 
Nov 6
Walked by the site today on my way to a council meeting and noticed the street and sidewalk is in place from Sq One parking lot entrance to Burnhamthorpe, but close to the public.

They are staring to work on the 4th floor of the final tower.

Photos will follow at some point.

I have been calling over a decade that it is time to start building schools in these type of developments on the 2nd and 3rd floor with a play area for the outside.

Time for people to visit the new city core display in the atriums of city hall to see the new models for the city core, but it out data as this project and M3 are missing from the display
