    Aha! Okay that explains the location of the power outlets. There is a new power outlet installed high on the wall near every set of TV mounts/network drops. If I recall correctly, every "set" has the following: one (1) "two-plug" power outlet, two (2) TV mounts, and three (3) network drops...

    Somebody, quick! Call the Longo's at 15 York! I've found one of their shopping carts. ;)

    Updated closure map, concourse level, current as of August 22, 2015. EDIT: Updated map to include closure of exit to York St from NW retail.

    I am not sure if this is related, but you may find it interesting to know: I was passing through the Bay West teamway yesterday and I noticed that there are quite a few network drops being installed in the ceiling at the south end of the teamway. This would indicate that some form of...

    Thank you for the link. Amazing pictures! I especially like this one, https://www.flickr.com/photos/drum118/8433899528/in/photostream/. Am I looking at the underside of the Blue Route (PATH to ACC)? If so, super cool, this does a really good job illustrating just how close this construction is...

    AlvinofDiaspar, The more I think about it... This direct correlation can be drawn: The TTC manual is "less vigorous" and thereby the TTC signage is consistently poor. The TfL/LU manual is "exhaustive" and thereby the TfL/LU signage is consistently excellent. When oh when are they going to...

    Entirely correct, all samples and pictograms. The only part of particular interest is "Chapter 3 -- Planning Principals" (pages 71 to 82). This discusses the TTC's methodology for planning routes, signages, and wayfinding. If you ask me this chapter is not nearly substantial enough.

    This is a good idea, you should suggest this to the City. A good place to start would be the office of Stephen Buckley, General Manager of Toronto Transportation Services. I have spoken with his office in regards to keeping the HOV lanes on the city owned highways, they were extremely helpful...

    Awesome, a great many thanks! I wonder if they have updated this since...

    I agree here. From what I can recall when I was speaking with Ian he told me that the TTC's wayfinding manual is being overhauled. He said they had recently completed a new system wide map and their attention was now going to focus on wayfinding. I will have to poke around the Bay South...

    You are very welcome! Good advice, I always forget that we the taxpayer have a right to view these. I hope that a FOIA won't be necessary here. The TTC's Ian Dickson volunteered to supply these documents, I simply failed to follow up until now. I will let you know what he says! Cheers, tnarduzzi

    I will totally admit, until 2017 it's going to be quite confusing. I really do hope though, that once the north moat tunnel opens, things will get simplified with straight-through lines-of-sight. Hopefully one will be able to just wave an arm in the right direction and say 'that way'. Knowing...

    Does anybody know when the north moat is expected to open to the public? Are there any official dates? While taking pictures in the deserted Bay Concourse this morning I was chatting with a few security guards (not GO, but City of Toronto), they indicated that an internal email had been sent...

    Hello UrbanToronto, Longtime lurker, first time poster. Since signage at Union has been and is definitely an ongoing issue, let me share my knowledge on the matter: I noticed this as well, back in August 2014... https://twitter.com/tnarduzzi/status/501422641799237632 Unfortunately it is not...
