A lot of residential rentals are really going up everywhere in the city.

Horizontal skyscraper.

That building is even bigger in real life. Its a shame it fronts a back lane on both sides.

Totally, that stretch is crying out for housing. Good potential for a node with the transit connections and the amenities.

In this situation (probably too late for this example), is it possible to create a street out of a back lane? Build a sidewalk with CRUs and other streetscaping to attract pedestrians?

Good street is actually a street. Vike is just poking at the fact that it really feels like a lane because it serves as the lane for Colony

Yeah, it's one of those one-sided streets that exist here and there in the city. (Roy Ave in Weston and Herbert Ave in Elmwood being other examples.)

I noticed there’s a new independent convenience store where the Mac’s used to be on Central Park. Nice to see something replace it. Was a big hole.

Guy Madden calls them "Hermaphrodite Streets" in My Winnipeg

Any news on 632 Portage Avenue?

The lot has some new signs up, but just generic stuff for the developer (PPP), not project specific.
