The creative thinking that exists wasn’t brought to bear on this project.
A less than fitting end to the contribution the Walker family made to the growth and evolution of the city.

I look at the facade of what was the Pearl Street Cafe every day from my window.
It looks ridiculous. It is sandwiched between the delivery entrance of the Carriage Gate development and the work and live units on Pearl St.
If indeed the “preserved” heritage building becomes 2 townhouses (very narrow, and small units) would you want to live attached to a delivery entrance for the condo building?
Nothing like waking up to the garbage trucks and delivery vans.
This is what our council thinks is saving Heritage Buildings. The developer
In return gets increased height.
What a joke.
I assume the name for the development has been changed to the Walker Sandwich.
