Speaking of 206 Duke Street East, I went and looked up what 755R was in the zoning bylaw and I found out that it has minimum bicycle parking requirements for R-7 / RES-6 zoned areas. However, it refers to Class A and Class B bicycle stalls. Does anybody know what that means?

I emailed the planning department to see if I could get more info on 206 Duke. So far there is only the application for the demolition and that's all. No site plan has been submitted at all.

I'm honestly surprised the Charles Street testing site has not seen any vandalism from Covidiots yet. There is 24 hour security there, but after hours they basically just sit around and occasionally do a patrol around the property. I kind of expected someone to spray paint some stuff or smash things up in that tent.

I just heard a developer bought 10 Duke St. for $10.5 mil. Anyone hear anything about this?

East or West? 10 Duke W is an office condos project, just got redeveloped. Unless sales have totally failed it'd be difficult for a developer to buy out. 10 Duke E appears to be part of the Duke Food Block, which we already know Vive purchased a couple years ago.

Not sure where to post this, but I think it's worth sharing as it's relevant to architecture and urbanism within Waterloo Region. Local architect Roger Farwell - of WalterFedy - passed away in a car accident in Wellesley Township this Wednesday: https://outline.com/gzDuCN

I've noticed the windows are boarded up and they have bins outside of the building. Yes please! What a change that would be for an otherwise dead intersection. Really hope they keep the plans for trees.

It's a shame they missed the opportunity to really improve that area when the LRT was built. But the region's gonna region. |
