Once on that floor, you can access the 12th floor. But for all intents and purposes, city hall is 10 floors. (though there are washrooms, shower and lunch room on the 11th floor).
There is no accessible route to the top 2 floors at all? That seems strange.
11th floor is assessable from one of the stair cases. It's keyed entry. There is a second floor on the 11th floor, just mechanical stuff. Then there is more stuff above the 12th floor, but not really assessable. There is no marking for the 12th floor, but there is for the 11th.
Another cool place is The Aud. Technically, excluding mechanical, it has 6 floors. You have Kinsmen/Kiwanis floor, then event level (where the Rangers play, concerts, etc), then lower concourse, then upper concourse, then Legends level then media level. Legends is not assessable to the general public.

Last week a video was posted on one of threads on WRC that showed the presenter stating that DTK is to be 41 floors. Were two floors added some where along the way?
Here's that video

He was incorrect, I'm not sure why he said it was over 40 floors.

I'll refrain from making a joke about cannabis shops and high buildings!

Another weed store? There are so many of those in Waterloo Region haha. This map really puts into perspective how many are in (or will be opening) in the city and across the province.

It looks like we have topped out, they haven’t started another floor in while. Has anyone been down and close recently to count?

They are on the 38th floor. I counted them yesterday. It's easy when you can see the exterior elevator.

The behemoth grows... Will it look as bad as we suspect upon completion?

Yeah the tower is thankfully looking a bit more pleasing than the podium, at least.
