Marching

Puffin: Fifteen fewer pieces; three fewer hours, 
but the legs were more than a little bit tricky.

I've mentioned the Toronto construction boom in this blog before. Just about any neighbourhood near a major transit line in Toronto is seeing big changes. 

I have illustrated this before in bits and pieces: construction hoarding and notice signs.

Here's another way to show the change underway.

In 2013, nothing showed above the Allan Gardens greenhouse except the palmhouse dome, the stack of the long-decommissioned incinerator and the stalk of a blooming yucca plant. 

In 2015, something else appeared, a condominium tower under construction at the corner of Dundas and Jarvis.

Now, in 2018, there are two more being built at the same corner. 

The march of the fifty-storey towers.

You can see the construction crane for the second new tower just peeking above the greenhouse roof. 

There is another fifty-storey tower slated to be built just east of these.

If all goes as planned (and nothing does) we will be in this neighbourhood for another five years. 

By then, we won't recognize the place.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
