Ah, that explains the construction work going on in the passageways up-and-around the great hall. The glass-hallway had boards laid on the floor when I was up there last weekend. Also note the "<- DEMO ->" spray-painted on the wall, not sure what that is about as the glass hall is West wing.

Interesting break in the communications there. Is there access maintained to the East entrance to Front St? Or was he totally mis-informed?

Interesting, I wonder where exactly the Partisans work is going to be installed..? So far the food court doesn't look that way, maybe the market area?

:O How? Please please if I ask very kindly do you know how I may join a tour of the Bondfield site?

I was speaking with Union security last night re: the phrasing of the sign "This area will be closed from [date] to [date]." He informed me that the area it is actually referring to is the closure of the North-East stairwell from the Great Hall to Concourse levels. He said there will not be any...

If we are thinking of the same thing, that door was closed on Thursday at 6pm due to a safety issue. -- The overhead motor box that powers the accessible door-opening-mechanism was damaged. The swing arm was hanging free from the door and at risk of injuring people's heads and the motor box...

It's not exactly an "attractive" smell, mirowaved eggs. Not complaining just commenting that it seems that maybe this temporary location is lacking an exhaust fan.

Looks like it. http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2015/07/uncle_tetsu_to_expand_its_cheesecake_empire_in_toronto/ http://uncle-tetsu.com/system/egblog/north-america/418/?lang=en

Finally! The boomerang! MMMMMM coffee. On an unrelated note: The Tim Hortons really needs better ventilation. They consistently make the York promenade stink of microwaved eggs in the morning. Yuck!

Hahaha, that guy's entire career is a brain fart. http://www.metronews.ca/views/toronto/torys-toronto-matt-elliott/2015/04/17/minnan-wongs-congestion-remarks-a-worrying-start-to-gardiner-debate.html

FYI: WE DON'T NEED A RAMP ANYMORE IF THE MOAT OPENS! Look carefully next time you are in Union. The grade within the York promenade is actually grade-level with the moat. Via two sets of ramps the grade actually rises approximately 18" as your travel towards the Bay side of the promenade.

Ohhh! "She looks so good."

Okay, so the heritage doors at the "East York Vestibule" are finally complete. I totally agree with your analysis then. So why is the moat not open yet? Why install the accessibility ramp? Why keep Bay open at all at this point? Big changes are definitely coming soon.

My bad. I hadn't noticed their transparency. Kudos. -- In total honesty I do not Facebook well, it is the one site I loyally boycott.

Also I would just like to point out that despite being posted to Facebook very recently, these pictures are very outdated. Demolition is much further along than depicted.

Agreed. But then again, it's the City of Toronto and the process probably goes something like the following: A Union project manager informs CoT infrastructure manager that demolition is progressing, infrastructure manager informs his department manager, department manager raises line item at...

Finally! It appears that the UnionStationTO social media is getting updates. Pictures are posted from inside the Bay Concourse demo here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.970306219695563.1073741830.155222741203919&type=3 EDIT: Pictures ripped from the FB link for your convenience.

@AlvinofDiaspar Nice pull. I like the heritage details/design destined for the Front Promenade. Below I have bulled out the interesting bits from the PDF you linked. Heritage design. (I quote: replica cast iron storefronts. We will see as to what quality "replica" stands for.) Great Hall...
