Where are the roll up doors? Here’s the platform 4-5 entrance:

I really hate this area, it’s so dumpy and one of the truly embarrassing parts of the station

From the 3d diagram included in the presentation, it does look like they are building tiny lobby areas for the new entrances: My suspicion is that they’ll be extending these spaces north as the legacy platforms are merged and lengthened, to create full teamways. Something like this: This...

The brunt of the work that would significantly affect passengers is thankfully over though, after USEP is done Union is going to look fully completed Gone are the days of public areas looking like this:

The southernmost platform ends on the west side of Bay Street

I created before and after maps to better represent the USEP scope change we found out about today: The previous design forced up to two entire trainloads down one escalator into the concourse, and mobility challenged individuals would have needed to travel 400 metres to access the nearest...

Neither option requires people to go outside, the new CIBC Square route is fully indoors, the Scotiabank route is too. Both routes a combination of elevators and ramps. Not sure, half of the project has progressed significantly less than the other half, so it really depends on if they want to...

Oh trust me I know, but I’m only speaking practically here. The CIBC route is the most direct route to the bus terminal from the Great Hall, but it’s unsigned, the Scotiabank route is the other most direct route. The Bremner Concourse opening won’t change either of these, it doesn’t add any...

The island platform apart of USEP was always intended to have 2 stub platforms. Earlier this year the design was modified to remove the west facing stub platform, leaving only the east facing platform. This modification increases the width of the island platform significantly, but sacrifices...

I’ll have to come back later with a further analysis or potentially even a map, but here’s what I found today. Revealed in the landowners tenants slideshow was a massive USEP scope increase on the east end: This project now includes 5 additional platform entrances to the new platforms. 1...

Scotiabnk will still be the most direct route besides the new CIBC route I think the carrigeway art is under construction!!!!!

No the furthest east it goes is right at this entrance

Union Station related things that are in the new CIBC development: Access to the Bay Street bridge and CIBC North: New entrance to Platform 3 from the north tower: New signage present in the area, including…….. A new wayfinding variant!!!!!! 🎉

Swung by the area today, the teamway entrance is still closed but people are hard at work getting it done. Bay Street bridge: North Tower lobby: Future Bay East Teamway entrance: North entrance to the elevated park: Cool vantage spot from the bridge: I know this tower really...

It’s all open?
