The City of Toronto is turning to the public for guidance on what to do with its empty office space as vacancies continue to rise.
The percentage of vacant office space in the city rose throughout every quarter last year, closing out 2023 at 17.5 per cent – a three per cent increase from the same period in 2022, and a 13.6 per cent spike from the fourth quarter of 2019.
Covid accelerated Toronto’s decline. I have a feeling the city will come to be regarded as Detroit North.
This won’t help.
Headaches, frustration and anger. Brace for three years of Gardiner Expressway roadwork
Within city hall, the project is known as the “Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan.”
For the thousands of people who commute and visit the city each day by car, it’s becoming known by a host of other names, none of them flattering and none of which we can print in a family newspaper.
Suffice to say those curses capture well the headaches, frustration, anger as motorists have seen their daily trips along western stretches of the Gardiner Expressway turn into a plodding crawl.
