The biggest question on my mind...why is the city cramming Parkdale with giant condos, and letting Bayview Road sit empty? The city will get rid of that old Public Works building and put in some sort of theatre or event venue (supposedly), but what about the rest of the stretch? I've heard rumours that they will put condos there, but have seen nothing to date.

I agree though, they are missing a good opportunity by letting this plot of land sit vacant for so long, there is also a published CofOtt master plan on the Bayview Yards area that I cannot seem to locate at the moment.
