I dislike the MUHC design. A big hospital should be integrated into the city. This looks like a suburban office park, and it is located in a bit of a no mans land.

The CHUM (not CRCHUM) is 10x cooler.

I see what you mean, Redkey. I love it though! It's different! Something Toronto is in very short supply of for such a large city.

Kelly Ramsey mixed used in Edmonton sounds closer to starting... geotech boring machine on site yesterday. Other than the arena and 102st centre (manu 2), this is the most exciting proposal IMO. Retail/Commercial/hotel/office. Up to 28 storeys now we hear.

^ Any progress on the Jasper Avenue Streetscape Revitalization project? I worked on that thing several years back now (as a consultant).

^... more updates than you would like to know of.

It is 3-6months behind on the 1st portion (100st-102st), to be completed this fall now.

The rest is unfunded, but expected to tap into the CRL and be done over 5-7 years in 2-3 block stages. Exciting, but slow.

Not my style at all but I do like it because it's one of a kind.

Personally, the second proposal would be much more successful. I think having the casino on the ship would make it a unique attraction in the area.
