Yesterday Fougere was saying they want to get extra taxation powers from the province. I think along with the Ring Rd project, he has unrealistic expectations of funding from other govts.

Having busy train tracks crossing the city's main freeway is unacceptable and if the money needs to be spent just spend it.

I would be shocked if in 2050, anything has been done about the tracks.

To be fair, by then cars will be driving themselves, so it shouldn't be as big of a safety issue.

Your link goes nowhere. It was probably a video link anyway.

Not only is your link dead, you also failed to copy the name of the company.

If this is the actual final design, I'm a little on the fence... We don't want everything to be glass and blue/silver tones; you have have something to break the skyline up a bit. I'm just not sure how this will look on a larger scale.

Oh good lord that is awful. It's this part 2.

I agree that something different is good, but this, this is bad.

The one in the middle of the block of Lorne between 11th and 12th. They removed the precast panels and have been adding windows and framing over the last few months.

Does anyone know what is being done directly west of The Residences in Harbour Landing? It's not a building, but there are a ton of short posts with wire sticking out the top. It looks too close together for light posts and judging by the benches it's not plug in parking.

As discussed before it's just a fountain with lights.

The Conexus project on College Avenue will have either one large tower crane or two mobile cranes. (To be determined soon.)

That doesn't come up on Grassland's "coming soon" page. Is there a sign up? I hate to get too hopeful.

The webpage says:

Gong Cha will be serving high-quality, refreshing tea beverages for every taste!

But, it doesn't say where that will be either.
