I was planning on going to this meeting for another re-zoning matter (8 new townhouses at 920-926 Caledonia) but now I have two reasons. It looks like it will be a busy week for me.

Perhaps the condo name generator is broken?

I disagree, I think this will be less sleek; funkier--more of a Fluevog.

I think the demo of Peacock will start in a few months.
I said at the Public Hearing that this building helps preserve our residential neighbourhoods by placing the density forecast projected by the Coriolus report near the juncture of the density spine outlined in the new Downtown Plan.

How does abstaining from the vote count? If most councillors raise their hand for "yes" and most of them don't raise for "no," but some of them raise their hand neither for "yes" or "no," they abstained, right? How is that counted? And is it then still considered a unanimous "yes"?
PS/ Edit: good points, Rob -- and that stretch of Johnson sure needs all the help it can get! I'm so glad this passed.

I always looked at abstaining as the person hiding under their desk covering their ears saying "Lalala! I can't hear you! I'm not here!!"
so if that person isn't there it's like they don't exist. So everyone could abstain except for 1 person who votes no and it would be unanimously rejected.
