Though I have no objection to listing this rather nice row of houses, I remain sorry that the City is NOT trying to list the "Cube House" - it is unique.

"Unique" …ly dumpy? It was never even finished properly. What's there to preserve properly? We already celebrate our failures enough with the TTC continuing to install single-point switches on the streetcar system, let's not celebrate every failure, please.

Still ugly. Still massively oversized. There's a reason they never show the top in the renders.
 
Unfortunate that this was recommended by City staff and isn't being opposed by Councillor Moise's office.

Take a glance at the drawings and you see this is wildly out of context with the neighbourhood (which is already / will be very dense). Traffic at this intersection will be a true danger.

Another example of foisting density on communities that are already dense because the City won't open neighbourhoods to even six-storey buildings.

No offence intended, but I can genuinely say that I've been walking through here all the time for the last 5 years. Morning, noon, evening, and even late night. I just don't see the traffic issues people complain about. Traffic is literally never backed up at this intersection, as often as I am there (which at this point has been many hundreds of times).

Pedestrians are almost non-existent at this intersection as there is nothing residential here at all.

There is a storage business, the YMCA, and George Brown directly south of this lot, a very small school and small condo directly west of it, eastern off ramp and a small condo directly to the north, and Cherry Place is on the adjacent corner (which is a retirement building) and a car dealership.

All that said, the concept designs are boring and ugly. imo.
