I have a feeling it’s more of a problem that they don’t care. This building was pretty much tag free while it was operating. I think it’s getting demolished, so the City doesn’t care.

The graffiti by-law does not have an exception for buildings that are vacant, so far as I can recall.

If the City wants it torn down, then great, let them get to it! Until then, they need to keep it up.

I don't think taxpayers would want their money spent to keep something clean of tags only it for it to be all back there in a month or so. You know, better things to spend on and all that... 😼

I agree, which is why they should expedite demolition.

Successful Proponent will be announced shortly after City Council approves the deal in mid-November.
 
Looks like it may be around 50 metres. As @Northern Light pointed out, it likely just means moving around the massing. It’s a big enough site to play around with.

If the maximum height is 50 metres, is the site even economically viable for development? Are we looking at an annual Spirit Halloween shop?
