With some unobtrusive fencing, that space could be a nice community vegetable garden.

It could be, but it won't. I mean if they want it for a mid-block connection to Danforth, there really isn't room. Any path would have to be at least 2.1M wide, unencumbered, and they would presumably want it lit as well.
 
It wold be great to get a set of beauty shots of this building now that it's complete for the purpose of the year end poll. Thanks!

Some last last minute finishing touches? Nothing in the historical house yet, nor any retail tenants. 😒

Not to the building.

As part of the approval here, it was required that the Main/Stephenson/Main intersection be regularized.

ie. The big fat, open, on an angle intersection be narrowed and straightened to improve both pedestrian and driver safety.

That's what you're looking at.

The shape is fine............the design..............sigh.... .
 
Not a good day for the camera......... and not completely finished anyways.......but the new Main/Stephenson intersection is substantially complete.

ie. The substantially expanded sidewalk zone, and regularized intersection are done.

Still to be complete is landscaping/streetscaping, and hopefully some pole removals.

Landscaping seems to be nothing more than sod - will be interesting to see how badly that fares in just a few weeks time. Disappointing design to say the least.

I imagine there will be trees, but I don't know that. Not a big deal to move some freshly laid sod for 2-3.

But certainly I think sod at the base is highly questionable. It could be an interim condition. TBD.
