Massive new Toronto co-op project will offer hundreds of affordable and market-priced units — in technicolour
Designs for a massive new housing development across from Scarborough’s Kennedy GO station look something like a technicolour game of Connect Four.
Hundreds of windows on three different towers are framed in circles of concrete, stained to vivid shades of yellow, orange, blue and red. The towers sit on a wide, interconnected base, which the architects say will be home to gathering spots, community gardens and a blanket of greenery.

Urgent Action Item – Sign Petition to Save Our School Pools
Ward 12 Councillor Josh Matlow is drawing attention to this issue and asking for our support to help keep Toronto public school pools open.
A report to be tabled at the Toronto District School Board meeting on Wednesday, April 30, proposes closing all 66 pools in Toronto’s public schools due to funding cuts from the Provincial Government. This would include 27 pools permitted and used by the City of Toronto in city swimming programs.

City hall finally found a way to help ease traffic congestion — and bring in more money. Not everyone is happy
Not many things come cheap in Toronto, but there is one thing that has, until very recently, been a heck of a bargain: blocking streets for construction.
In 2022, for example, a utility contractor that wanted to close two lanes across 4.5 kilometres of Lake Shore Boulevard paid just $4,398.65 in fees to Toronto city hall’s transportation department for its month-long project.
‘It’s time’ for OpenStreetsTO to make a comeback, Toronto resident says
A Toronto resident is campaigning to revive a popular street event after a years-long pause.
OpenStreetsTO is an event that closes roadways to cars and opens them to pedestrians, encouraging physical activity and recreation while allowing residents to experience the city’s streets and architecture differently.
“Open Streets has widespread community support,” said Robert Zaichkowski, who’s leading the charge to restart the event. “It’s a no-brainer to bring it back.”
Court order finalizes Tridel’s takeover of The One
On Tuesday, April 22, the Ontario Superior Court formally approved the full suite of agreements that hands control of The One to Tridel. The court order is immediately effective, so Tridel has now taken over from interim contractor SKYGRiD as project, construction, and sales manager, and will steer the tower to its newly confirmed early-2028 completion.
