Are there other Canadian examples of fire stations that are incorporated into larger buildings? Perhaps change "ground floor commercial" to "ground floor emergency services"?
Highland has been turned into apartments, Duke an office and Guelph looks like it's a club house. Guelph St moved the firehall to Guelph and Lancaster.
If a new one needs to go downtown they have the Bramm Yards or the old bus station. There is the ambulance station at Weber and Water. Maybe with the acquisition of another property or two this could be a shared facility with EMS?
I was just musing the other day that it might be nice if whoever owns that patch of grass next to the EMS station there would either improve it for park space or build something on that prime space.
