Rumours of giant nightclub expansion stir controversy in Toronto

0
0

Rumours surrounding what would be the "world's largest nightclub" are swirling after the ownership group for Rebel and Cabana Pool Bar applied for a new liquor license that would cover double the capacity of the existing facilities in the Port Lands.

The application requests a license for the Cherry Street entertainment complex that would cover over 15,000 people. That's 7,584 people inside and another 7,971 on the patios. Rebel's current capacity is 5,673.

Strict noise restrictions were added to the existing liquor license application after neighbours and Toronto Island residents complained about noise from the waterfront club back in 2006.

Powerhouse part-owner Charles Khabouth has been fighting to have those restrictions changed on the grounds that after opening Rebel, the facility is a new operation deserving of a clean slate.

We reached out to to Rebel's PR, and they informed us there is "no club expansion intended at this time."

The concern on the part of area residents is that given a liquor license with expanded capacity, the nightclub will inevitably expand at some point in the future, a move that would not fit with the existing planning for the Toronto waterfront.

The application will be heard by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario on February 9.


Huge crowd shows up for Shake Shack in Toronto

Burgers are serious business in Toronto - just ask the hundreds of people who are lining-up for the Shake Shack pop-up at Momofuku Daishō today.

Shake Shack, the popular American burger chain, joined forces with Momofuku to bring its signature ShackBurgers and Crinkle Cut fries to Canada for the very first time.

shake shack torontoJason Chan, who was first in line this morning, works in North York but took the day off to try Shake Shack for the very first time. He got to Momofuku at 9:30 a.m., about two-and-a-half hours before the pop-up opened.

Just before noon, the queue snaked up University to Richmond, looped around and then stretched all the way back down along Adelaide.

Toronto is getting its own version of the High Line

0
0

A proposal for a new park system connecting various green spaces along a hydro corridor on the west side of Toronto has taken a major step forward at the outset of 2017. The idea for the Green Line, which takes inspiration from New York's High Line, dates back to 2012, but now there's finally a budget and design team in place to realize the vision.

The corridor in question spans from Lansdowne to Spadina where there's already a series of mostly uninspired green spaces that lack cohesion. When you look at an aerial view of the area in question, it's easy to understand why officially connecting them makes so much sense.

Since Park People started advocating for the project in 2014, a number of steps have been made toward bringing the concept to life, but developments on the horizon are set to be the most significant yet.

Design firm DTAH has been brought on to work with the city and Park People on the Green Line Implementation plan, which will "identify opportunities for connections, new green spaces, and creating a continuous trail."

As of yet, there's no master vision for the linear park system, but DTAH will be tasked with putting one together in conjunction with community consultation that will determine what users want most from the new green space.

The best part of all of these plans is that they're funded. There's $1.5 million set aside for the implementation plan as well as some design and construction work. That won't cover all the costs associated with the project, but it's enough to make significant strides towards its eventual completion.

Toronto has some very ambitious plans for parks in the works right now, but the Green Line is quietly starting to take shape.

It's going to feel like spring this weekend in Toronto

Put away your parka and throw on your rain jacket, Toronto. For the next few days, you won't have to trudge around in your winter boots because things are heating up in the city.

Okay, so we can't expect to see temperatures in the double digits, but according to Environment Canada, it's supposed to be 8 C on Saturday - how's that for a winter weather reprieve?

weather torontoBut while this temperature change will certainly feel awesome, it is troubling to note that multiple scientific reports (by organizations such as NASA) have claimed that 2016 was the hottest year on record.

In any case, enjoy it while you can. Winter weather is expected to return as the month comes to a close.

Cost of renting an apartment in Toronto continues to soar

0
0

Toronto renters are really feeling the pinch right now. As the real estate market soars, so too does the rent for apartments around the city. According to new figures from Padmapper, an apartment listings site, the median cost of a one bedroom unit in Toronto has climbed to $1,550 this month. A two bedroom comes in at $,1970.

To put that into perspective, when the company started tracking this data back in June 2016, the median was $1,320. I'm not so hot at math, but I'm going to take a risk and say that increase outpaces the rate of inflation by just a little bit.

Still, despite laying claim to the title of hottest real estate market in the country, Toronto still trails Vancouver when it comes to the cost of rent. In that city, the median cost of a one bedroom rental this month is $1,870, while a two bedroom is a whopping $3,150.

If that's a window into our near future, it's a scary picture indeed.

Big changes coming to Yonge-Dundas Square

0
0

Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square might be one of the most overwhelming places in the city thanks to the various billboards that surround it. And now, it might be getting even more digital signage.

At today's Executive Council meeting, city councillors will discuss a new sign program for Yonge-Dundas Square.

It could include seven new screens - the biggest, according to CBC News, would be 34 square metres. Unlike the other digital walls at Yonge-Dundas Square, these new ones would be city-owned.

As CBC reports, the city's contract with the company responsible for the signage at Yonge-Dundas Square is set to expire. It wants to sign a 10-year contract with Outfront Media, who'd pay for this project.

The new screens would help with outdoor programming, such as outdoor movie nights, and they could also show live sporting events. 

Others would feature advertisements, but the city would get a cut of the revenue.


Soon you might be able to take a hovercraft from Toronto to Niagara

0
0

The trip from Toronto to Niagara might soon be faster and more fun. According to the St. Catharines Standard, a company known as Lake Ontario Express plans to use hovercrafts to link Niagara-on-the-Lake and Port Dalhousie to Toronto. 

Two hovercrafts with a capacity of 40 people each would operate 18 hours a day, making the trip between Toronto and Niagara-on-the-Lake in approximately one hour. That's far faster than a standard boat, though roughly the same amount of time that the trip would take by car in ideal traffic conditions.

The lure of the service would be how much faster the trip could be made during rush hour (when it could take far longer than an hour to drive) and the sheer thrill of riding on a hovercraft. Niagara is one of Toronto's chief tourist destinations with over 15,000 trips made between the two cities/regions.

A one-way trip on a hovercraft would cost $25.

Lake Ontario Express still faces a few hurdles before it can get up and running. Namely, it needs to secure permission for use of docks in both Niagara-on-the-Lake and Port Dalhousie. Governmental support appears likely to follow once this is resolved.

The aim is for the service to be up and running by 2018. 

Condo of the week: 155 Cumberland Street

0

If you spend $7 million on a condo, you expect a level of luxury in Toronto that's almost unparalleled. After all, houses in the same price range are eye-poppingly nice and offer a hell of a lot more space. This unit at 155 Cumberland St. is a good example of the type of amenities on offer for the 1% able to afford such palaces in the sky.

155 Cumberland StreetThis is not the biggest condo you'll find in Toronto. Though it does boast three bedrooms, none of them are of the sprawling variety. That said, the main space looks enormous, particularly given the sweeping views of the skyline that you get to enjoy from much of the unit. 

155 Cumberland StreetOf course the kitchen and en suite are gorgeous, and there's features like radiant floor heating, but it's possible the biggest highlight is the 600 square foot terrace. This is a private perch above the city perfect for summer parties and showing off your spoils (which is the whole point of a condo like this, right?).

Drake. If the furnishings look a little conservative for the mega-star, bear in mind that his old Yorkville condo around the corner was actually pretty tame. Alternately, this a good pad for an art collector who will have plenty of space to show of a collection and to entertain on the terrace.

155 Cumberland StreetMove On If

You just don't like the idea of spend over $7 million on a condo. An investment like this will easily net you a Rosedale mansion, which would offer more space and arguably more cachet.

Toronto company invents new way to get home deliveries

0
0

It's easier than ever to shop online, but it's also super easy to miss your delivery (not all of us have concierges, okay?), and no one likes schlepping around the city to pick up their packages. Fortunately, one Toronto company has cooked up a solution to this problem.

Boxr, from the Toronto-based company North of Modern, seems like a pretty simple, albeit innovative fix. Architect Eric Martin and engineer Bekir Buyukkocabas teamed up to create a bench that also acts as a lockbox.

Delivery people would be able to drop off packages using a one-time passcode. Boxr's founders say they introduced their hybrid bench in response to our sharing economy.

"Boxr lets you share tools, toys and books with your neighbours when you're not home. And for homeowners who rent a room to guests or hire cleaners or tradespeople to work while they are not home, Boxr offers a secure pickup and drop-off point for keys," reads a Boxr news release.

They're even planning to introduce insulated liners so you could use Boxr as a cooler in the summertime.

Alas, you won't be able to get one of these benches just yet. The North of Modern team is debuting a prototype at the Interior Design Show, which starts today at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

TTC says spitting on bus drivers is a big problem

0
0

If you've seen more security on TTC buses and streetcars, you're not imagining it. The TTC is putting more constables on certain surface routes in the hopes that Torontonians will behave while taking public transit.

In 2016, according to Metro News, there were 285 assaults on transit operators - in 34 per cent of these incidents, drivers were spit on. About 31 per cent involved physical altercations.

As Metro writes, the TTC introduced the Bus Stop pilot project in December where special constables boarded 400 buses along seven different routes.

After this four-week pilot, the TTC's chief special constable Mark Cousins tells us that his team will now be making this assault prevention program one of its top priorities. 

It won't add additional staff to the system, rather Cousins says his team will now rethink where constables are deployed across the entire transit system.

It doesn't cast Toronto in the best light that such measures are necessary. Let's please allow these people to do their jobs without the fear of harassment. 

Violent altercation on the TTC back in the news

0

Nearly two years ago, a video showing a violent altercation on the TTC between transit officers and two passengers was uploaded to YouTube. Since then, it has garnered nearly 600,000 views, and it's now in the news again.

According to the CBC, charges against the two men involved - father and son Russell and Jamie Gillman - were dropped last month. Now, they have filed a damages suit and are suing the TTC and transit officers for $4 million.

The officers involved in this incident were cleared after a police investigation back in August 2015.

The altercation occurred on January 29, 2015 after an NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Arizona Coyotes.

Toronto is getting a sugar shack this winter

Nothing tastes like the end of winter quite like maple syrup. And once again, you won't have to travel outside of Toronto to go sugaring off. Instead, you can get your fill of maple syrup right by the water.

That's because Sugar Shack TO is making its way back to Sugar Beach this year. On March 11 and 12, this event happening in partnership with Waterfront Toronto, will feature all sorts of maple-infused goodies as well as family-friendly entertainment and activities.

Last year's edition was swamped with visitors, leading to long lineups, a common issues plaguing Toronto food festivals. 

For 2017, however, organizers promise two Sugar Shacks that'll serve maple taffy as well as a marketplace with maple treats, activities and a full-service bar for those of us big kids.

Sugar Shack TO is free to attend. Throughout the weekend, shuttle buses will be operating between Sugar Beach and the Distillery District, which is perfect because the event's on during the last weekend of the big Toronto Light Festival

Toronto is getting a stunning new condo by the water

Toronto condo developers have always been drawn to lakeside areas, where former industrial lands have been converted to vertical neighbourhoods over the last few decades.

But what about our rivers? While the Don Valley has a few strategically placed condos high above its banks, generally speaking you don't see the clusters of development that you find elsewhere until you get further north near the 401.

Kingsway by the river condoAlong the Humber and Black Creek there are plenty of slab-style apartments and a few midsize condos, but you can expect to see more tall projects as Toronto's density grows outward. A good example of this trend is Urban Capital's Kingsway by the River project near Dundas West and Royal York. 

kingsway by the river condoThe developer has a reputation for projects with high architectural pedigree, and this Wallman Architects-designed complex won't hurt in that regard. While not as showy as something like River City, the various buildings of four, eight, and 21 storeys here look like a classy addition to the area.

kingsway by the river condoBy combining the main tower with a series of townhomes, the site's scale is kept in check, which is crucial given the nearby natural setting. While you might argue it's too close to the river, given that the land is currently a retail parking lot, it's hard to make the case that this isn't an improvement.

I'd expect to the number of riverside developments in Toronto to increase noticeably over the next few years. This could be good an bad, but it would help if future developments were designed as well as this one appears to be on paper.

Man caught on video pushing pedestrian onto Toronto street

Toronto police are searching for the victim of an alleged assault that was caught on video.

The short clip, uploaded by Toronto Police Services, has been circulating on social media channels today. It shows a man being violently shoved onto the street. It looks like he hit his head, and police believe he might have been seriously injured in the incident.

In the video's description, Toronto Police write that on December 5, police responded to a call about a trespasser at a building in the Yonge and Queen area.

It's alleged he entered a building, became aggressive with those inside, made death threats and pushed a passerby into the street as he left.

The next day, police arrested and charged 26-year-old Johnathan Rushford with assault, uttering threats, failing to comply with parole and obstructing police.

Police, however, have not been able to locate the person who was pushed onto the street.

Drake and Jennifer Lopez are doing a song together

0

Late last year, Drake posted a photo with Jennifer Lopez and the internet lost its collective mind. Make out and dating rumours swirled for days afterwards and now JLO has confirmed what some of us were hoping for: a musical collaboration

When asked about her relationship with Drake recently on the People's Choice Awards red carpet, Lopez confirmed the duet, telling an ET personality, "He just asked me to do a song with him and that's what we've been doing." She doesn't know where the song would end up at this point. 

With Drake's announcement of his ongoing More Life playlist project, some are speculating the song could pop up there. 

She didn't address their personal relationship outside of the recording studio, but she was also spotted at Drake's New Year's Eve show and the two spent some quality time on the dance floor at a prom-themed dance party last December.
