Thanks for the links, AoD... I watched the first one this evening (much to the chagrin of my wife) and although most of it was known to us already, it still had some new stuff that was quite interesting.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to find and post the photos. It's really something to see how the station used to be laid out. Makes me want to take a trip to the archives to see what I can find.

If you found a pic that would be great (or if someone wants to snap a shot of the spot as it looks now), as I'm really struggling to imagine where this is. In my mind I see it as just to the east of where the old commuters bar was, but to the west of the McDonald's. Is that right?

I didn't think the city was very far along with their plans for the transit terminal... I don't know if it's been there for a while, but I just noticed an Ellis Don container next to the terminal. I wonder if that means they're getting ready to start construction soon?

Thanks for the details!

I'm unfamiliar with the REX plan, but everything else you're saying makes sense to me. Unfortunately, I have no faith that they will do anything resembling that, especially after they cut down the plans for the BRT. I don't see many politicians pushing to get transit 'right' and worse still...

Drum, thanks for the great pictures... I always enjoy stopping by to see what you post in the transportation section of the forum. Also, does anyone have any information on the Square One GO station building, or the city centre transit terminal? I'm very interested in what the plan for those...

Thought I would post one from inside, just to show what it looks like from that angle.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. I'm quite curious to know when the bridge was put into service. It's a shame that whoever green-lit construction, didn't have the foresight to think about something like that. I don't blame the engineer( because I'm biased in favour of engineers :)), but I...

Wow, that's quite interesting. Did your source mention which element of the structure was unsound? I wonder if they'll fabricate a similar structure to replace it, or simply forego the bridge altogether (which would be foolish).

Hey all, looks like Absolute World is getting a bit more attention today, with MSNBC.com posting an article about the lack of interesting tall buildings in the US.

This is the Whitby bridge I mentioned earlier, which is under construction and seems to be quite similar to what the Pickering bridge will look like without the mesh wrap. I didn't have time to get a better shot, so apologies for the crappy angle.

Out east in Whitby, GO is currently building a pedestrian walkway from the train platform to the south lot. It was supposed to be under construction for three months, finishing in October 2010, but it's been massively delayed. Looking at the structure in the renders and comparing it to Whitby...

Wait... what?. The project is going ahead, so what exactly are you commenting on?

I'm a bit late, but as promised, this threads first real (middling cell phone quality, unfortunately) pictures: Southwest angle: It's hard to see in this pic, but the west facade of the building has a bowtie-like indent. South facade: This is where the southern end of the bridge...

I'm surprised that no one has posted a picture of the construction so far... I mean the exterior of the building is done and they've started preliminary construction on the bridge. I'll see if I can't get a few pictures up this weekend, although I have no plans to drag my camera along. These...
