The building was flashing a little while ago. Fire lights test?

Looks like a fire alarm test, or just the fire alarm went off. Probably checking to ensure the fire warning to the fire department works.

I saw that as well around midnight, I wasn't sure if it was a test or not

It’s funny because the fire station is so close to this site that if there was an emergency it would be quicker to walk over than to dispatch a truck

Was unaware this happened so you got me doing some research. Is this accurate?

Also, some more info/renderings of the gate. It’s freaking yuge so if anything does strike it, it won’t be a happy day for that vehicle. Once shovels are in the ground for the city centre redevelopment, I really hope some consideration goes into making King William a pedestrian-only street, with this gate of course allowing for service vehicles to use KW St. at night.

This evening. Looks like they removed the bicycle parking, I imagine because it blocked the fire hose hookups....

Haha nope.. that's ONE issue, but not the one I was referring to - a ship literally demolished the old bridge.Was unaware this happened so you got me doing some research. Is this accurate?

A pair of bascule lift bridges on the beach strip carried all traffic for the QEW over the ship canal. The north bascule was struck late April 1952 by the W. E. Fitzgerald (no not the one of song fame) and was destroyed. A quick solution to the traffic ills was a temporary bridge - and the temporary swing bridge - which was up while they worked on the skyway bridge. The lift bridge we know today was then built after.

Hmm, no street lights on the King William side..?
Looks like there might be an empty spot in the sidewalk there for one on the left..

Please let me know if there is a thread better suited for this message.
Hi all, thanks for engaging with my first posts on here. I’ve recently moved from the UK and was confused by the lack of presence on Skyscrapercity but now I know why since finding Urban Toronto! Really pleased to see all of the content which I hope to be able to contribute to. If anyone is interested in tall buildings in Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, London etc, please do drop me a message. I have thousands of photos of changing UK skylines.

Wondering what retail tenants are lined up, sure KW will attract the first ones.

King Street East on the north side at Gore Park a tough sell, maybe with hundreds of residents above that will change.

Steve is picky with what he wants though, which makes me glad. He wants something specific along that stretch. Liuna is likely less so particular and will likely rent out to anyone. A Keg or some other random franchise isn't impossible on the King William side for example, despite that ruining the vibe to a degree.
