It's growing for me to....growing the urge to cuss at Empire and Kirkor for bestowing the flaming garbage on prime waterfront land.

The public realm along Queens Quay is atrocious here. Who the hell approved stairs along the entire frontage? Also, what’s the clearance between the fire hydrant and the steps? The sidewalk is insanely narrow as a result, and forces pedestrians right along the street.
This whole project was already a steaming pile of garbage. This is just the cherry on top.
Edit: went back a few pages and saw @DSCToronto’s post stating this is an interim condition. Phewww

What's the plan for the property to the immediate east of this? That may ease the pain somewhat.

I have not seen any plans but, based on past experience, I assume the developer will want it taller. If it looks good (one can hope!) then Empire will look even more boring; if it is not then it will fit in.

temporary condition. Or at least supposed to be temporary, if the City can ever get funding for the Waterfront East streetcar..
The steps are because grades are anticipated to change with the streetcar project. the steps will be gone with the ultimate streetscape.

I would say more likely to connect sewers and utilities but we shall see!
