newsthis street was madefor walkin’After seven years of waiting for our very own sidewalk,the city has finally broken ground on Richmond St. ThisOctober the crew arrived and quickly began pullingup an entire lane of Richmond on the north side of ourbuilding to make way for a new sidewalk replacingthe temporary walkway created by concrete barriers.The barriers were put in place when safety concernswere raised with the city about people edging theirway along the building amidst racing traffic when theydiscovered the sidewalk ended unexpectedly. Aftermany negotiations with the city (including insistenceon our part that trees be included in the new build) itis all coming to fruition. The finished sidewalk will bea generous walkway that will claim some space fromRichmond St. where each of the three lanes are largerthan standard. This will make space for trees, and createa comfortable passageway for pedestrians. The sidewalkwill extend all the way to Spadina reclaiming the lay-byparking in front of the restaurants west of 401 Richmond.If you want to be able to see our sidewalk construction inprogress you can visit our photo blog The Sidewalk Filesat: thesidewalkfiles.blogspot.com/oxygen airOxygen Design Agency (Studio 430) has flexed theircreative muscles and ventured into the world of musicwith a new website devoted to DJs called Oxygen AIR.The site allows DJs to upload their mixes and listeners tolisten to the music online anytime, for free.
