Crane grew taller on Saturday:

you called that

The floor they need to brace the crane to may not be ready or there yet. However, they likely still needed to raise the said crane a bit to give it the height that needed to still do it's job effectively...or something like that. And that's what your probably seeing here.

Don't like? Move to a country without roads and ride a donkey.

I'll point out—though I really shouldn't need to—that roads existed before cars, and aside from work animals like donkeys, horses and oxen, they were shared with pedestrians and later cyclists.

Its height now exceeds Two Bloor West. And...

you called that

...er, sort off.

I guess they won't have to increase the height of the crane for a while, unless they really speed things along.

And they have already started slipping forms out to form the next floor if you look

So to start holy smokes we take a lot of pictures of those building and thank you for that. I just went back through and this is the only time that I have seen. The sheer walls not connected between the core and the columns i wonder if they're no longer structurally needed? Possibly beams connecting the columns to the core in the future. Will be interesting to see but if they are entirely gone the speed will double as they had to tie each of those walls individually as well as tying the floor into them

Yesterday evening:

Photos taken today, Sunday (Oct. 29). Three shots from the west end, showing 1 Bloor clearly visible, with the newly raised crane also prominent after 2 or 3 more segments added this weekend. Sure looks like 1 Bloor W has surpassed the height of 2 Bloor W!

The first photo taken from the Wallace pedestrian bridge, which is over the railway tracks by Bloor GO station, at Dundas; the second photo from Bloor and Symington, the bridge for the Davenport Diamond project in the foreground; the final shot is from Sterling and Dundas.

I'm wondering if we will see another floor get set today and prepped for bar

Pictures from Saturday.

Great pictures. We may complain about concrete sidewalks, overhead wires and car centric roads but I don’t think you will find as many trees in another major city as you would here.

Comparisons can be challenging. There are different ways of calculating tree canopy cover which produce slightly different numbers, there's also the matter of where to draw boundaries.

But of major urban Centres in North America, I would probably put Toronto second.

Atlanta, Georgia, by just about every measure is more heavily treed (though less so right in its downtown core)

For comparison purposes Toronto is about ~30% tree canopy, where Atlanta is close to 36%
