I’m not sure about that. But the crane is taller than it was a few days ago - I think they inserted the section.
 
And again returning to the building highlighter lights, which don’t seem to be planning to come, really guys, any thoughts of what WE can do about it? Let’s create a petition or something, I’m so mad on this, why the f… developers think the lights is something optional, why everybody thinks that beauty is not something important in the city??? Look at Dubai, Shanghai Moscow, look at Paris or New York, those are the cities everyone admires and they are full of lights and colours, and as a result tons of tourists and money coming to those. Guys I’m serious as never, let’s do something about it!
The city has actually talked to us about lighting more in the last 2 years. A project I'm working on in Scarborough had a comment from them, stating that the building should have decorative lighting as it will be a feature for the surrounding area. Toronto has definitely upped its game over the past years. Some buildings better than others, but it's here now.

It’s nice to hear that, is there any official master plan from city of Toronto, or do they hire someone who has to manage that. I’d really love to know more about it, because it’s kinda bothering, you can see broken lights everywhere, when there are lights that supposed to be symmetrical or to highlight particular parts of the building , but some of them are for sure broken and it looks even worse. And why new buildings the same? As little light as possible initially , are they trying to be as much unremarkable as possible?
