I heard that only the columns that hold the drainage pipes are getting the polished cladding. The rest will remain bare galvanized steel. Source: installer of said cladding.

The garage is not built for human occupation. There would likely not be the proper systems in place to support this type of use without significant investment.

York PATH Cxn. Oh shit. Nevermind. Digging deeper it seems this is the current situation: (Source: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2012/pw/bgrd/backgroundfile-49650.pdf) A second construction phase will complete the connection to the existing PATH at York Street/Wellington Street...

York PATH Cxn. (Source: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2008/pw/bgrd/backgroundfile-11855.pdf)

York PATH Cxn. Appears the City was willing to pay to Wellington at least. I haven't heard any updates recently however. http://www1.toronto.ca/wps/portal/contentonly?vgnextoid=bd95962c8c3f0410VgnVCM10000071d60f89RCRD EDIT: Per the Toronto Staff Report at the link. A new underground...

The wayfinding is bad right now... but this... This is just stupid. It is not the new signage I was speaking of but stupid nonetheless. Indicating that the PATH is left and not even the OPTION for right at all... no wonder you saw so many lost tourists. PS. The new wayfinding signs are white...

Here. Here. I second this notion. EDIT: Or is it "Hear. Hear."? In any regard, this is a solid prediction of what is to come. Growth in the GTHA is occurring whether we like it or not.

This tunnel technically is part of the PATH system. Although I do see your point. Perhaps the City should be looking at installing PATH system maps with a clear 'YOU ARE HERE' in the York/University/Front tunnel. Sidenote: this situation will improve once phase 2 of the York PATH connection is...

New wayfinding was installed this morning on the promenade level right outside the leather shop bypass. I will try ad grab some pictures on next visit. Looks like a big improvement over the old stuff. Less logos, cleaner typeface, and finally FINALLY somebody decided to put an airplane symbol...

You saw it here first. Blue Route 2.0 looks like it is in the making. I predict that in order to begin work on the new connection to Telus House: the first area of the Bay Concourse to open will be directly north of the doors to the ACC. This will likely provide direct connection to the west...

@union2pearson Did you happen to get a chance to look south from your vantage point in the photos you posted? I am wondering if they have also snipped the remaining column(s) south of where the ramp used to be?

Not exactly... the columns were only done directly around the ramp (3 on each side). The ramp was built so that the service area could be excavated to the East of the Blue Route during the "York Phase" without closing the Blue Route itself. The *hand sketched* map shows what was excavated in the...

They are very current. I would wager they were taken today. ;) EDIT: In case anybody is wondering, the columns in @union2pearson 's pics are located in the former Blue Route area.

It's a reactive organization.

@mdrejhon: You raise some very good points regarding door resistance. I will test this next time I pass through the teamway for sure.

@Megaton327 Perhaps we are speaking of the same devices in the teamway, I was mistaken earlier when I said York-west, I am actually referring to York-east teamway. Next time you pass through take a look, there are "photo-eyes" mounted on both the inside and outside of the doors (little black...

Union Station, original telecom room. Much of this gear is still in use believe it or not... (Forget about punch down; check out those hex bolts!)

Also, in other news: The City of Toronto has decided to install high-traffic door-delay-devices on the teamways. Essentially these are similar to handicap door openers except that they are controlled by photocells mounted on the doors; during peak times these devices "hold" or "delay" the door...

@mdrejhon Nice pics! Things are coming along nicely. Also, just to put the discussion about the sub-levels to rest. @Richard White is correct in the sense that there was a sub-level under the Bay head house. It was more a maze of steam tunnels than a full out slab. Anyways these tunnels housed...
