3047 Dundas St. West, was purchased for creating this kitchen and wine bar, great to see it happening. (it is the white building in the above image)
Named Bricco Kitchen and Wine bar, Bricco is a label term found on wines from Italy’s piedmont region, referring to a vineyard’s summit or highest point and on the belief that hillside vineyards are superior for grape growing.

The passage of a new Special event model is of prime importance for this city as the current model imposes impossible costs on small events, such paid police officers- which can cost upwards of 15000.00 for two days to close down a 5 block distance on a roadway, because of the number of off-duty and paid police officers needed.
At the October 2012 Toronto City Council meeting, a report titled “Strategy for Special Events Related Services and Permitting Processes” was referred to staff for inclusion of additional information.

What Is The Green Line?
The Green Line is an overhead transmission line, or hydro corridor as they are known in Canada, in midtown Toronto that is more than 5km (3 miles) long. It passes through a wide range of neighbourhoods, from Davenport Village to the Annex. The Green Line is already well used by local residents. It has splash pads, sports fields, allotment gardens, parking lots and children’s playgrounds, but the spaces are mostly in poor condition and the corridor does not currently provide a continuous physical connection due to grade changes and fencing.
The Green Line Ideas Competition asks architects, landscape architects, planners, urban designers, artists and community members to contribute to an overall vision for the public use of a 5km long stretch of hydro corridor from Davenport Village, all the way to the Annex. The competition will also ask for ideas to address safety and connections related to the rail underpasses (particularly at the intersection of Dovercourt and Geary Avenue).
The best ideas will be exhibited at a community event in the spring. The winning ideas will not be built, but they will be used to get the communities who live, study and work near the site to start discussing its future. The “Green Line” is already well used by local residents, but it has the potential to become an exemplary public space as well as a pedestrian and cycling link across midtown Toronto.
Workshop Architecture is organizing the Green Line Ideas Competition with support from Canada Council, Ontario Association of Architects, Astley Gilbert Limited, Spacing Media, and many more. Members of the Davenport Neighbourhood Association advised on the competition’s development. See greenlinetoronto.ca for more info.
Looking north Dundas St West you can see the semi-new Heintzman Place condo development framed by the old Toronto Dominion Bank – now Money Mart.
This condo quietly turned the Keele St community circle into a stronger community space. The addition of the activity created by the residents if this project greatly increase the local foot traffic which was dearly needed.

Looking west on Dundas St. West from Keele St at the building facade tops pro idea a view of the highly varied design choices made by building owners though the years.

This church is one of the few in the community that you can get a look at in whole from a distance.
