Good ol Concord Canada House

I am curious and hopeful for what the crown will look like at night. This building no doubt has potential.

 

[David A]

IMO what is being built here looks nicer than the one in TO, although similar. Hopefully it will turn out good.

I'm confident and more assured than Falcon with this one; she'll look lovely.

With that pic, there are a fair amount of mature trees in the parking lot where the park will be. I wonder if any effort will be made to keep some or all.

This one is really going at a fast pace. Love it.

I sure hope so. I hope the city plants a variety of tree ages in this park. I'm getting sick of new areas with tiny trees. Trees aren't something to cheap out on. The downtown core really needs more trees in general.

It would be a waste not too and a financial save it they're astute while crafty with a design that will accommodate those trees.

Here's the tree plan for reference:

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Love the variety of trees. This is going to be such a positive addition to the area.

 

[Barnaby]

They really are adding a ton of trees to the area. If they absolutely need to chop some down, it won't be a tragedy. I'll walk it down after breakfast and see if the existing trees line up with the tree plan.

Update: Just walked it down. I think virtually every tree is scheduled for replacement.

The trees along Audrey's Books aren't really something worth keeping, and the ones chosen will work better for the space. I'd like to note that most of these tree have had countless limbs taken off them due to the proximity to parked cars and the narrow sidewalk (see photo). I understand an approach that leans on replacing every tree.

I doubt many of those trees will survive the installation of underground utilities (see Hawrelak park). I know that several in the pic are Manitoba maples which are just tree-weeds.
