    James Street & Kent Street Renewal

    Agreed, although I worry that small projects like this, which aren't particularly useful in terms of cross town travel, could prevent bike lanes from being justified on better routes like Gladstone. Nice to see a raise crosswalk at the bank intersection, hopefully this becomes the norm on bank.

    Parkdale Collective | 159 Parkdale Ave. | 96m | 31s | Richcraft | TACT

    Wasn't able to grab a pic, but it looks like the stairwell on the south side of the building is lit with red lights, which creates a red lighting feature of sorts at night that runs the whole height of the building - looks pretty good!

    219- 223 Bank & 178 Nepean | 30m | 9s | Smart Living | NEUF

    Render from another angle from the heritage docs. Interesting to read through the plan for restoring the heritage buildings - the changes made to the street level for these buildings (like the variated brick) over the years really takes away from them. Glad to see there is a lot of effort being...

    Parliament of Canada Block 2 Redevelopment | Government of Canada | David Chipperfield + Zeidler

    AC Marriott / Mrkt Lofts | 201 Rideau St. | ?m | 24s | Rimap | RLA | U/C
