As far as I am aware, it is just normally cost prohibitive to go deeper. The high tipping fees for pyritic slate, combined with higher costs for depth makes it pricey.
I am excited to see how this development, and all of that section of Queen St. progresses. I need to look at the Dalhousie master plan again and see what's happening near Gerard Hall for a total streetscape perspective.
