November 18 has come and gone, and no signs of the PATH connection moving to the other side of York street. PCL is becoming an unmitigated disaster in both the actual construction of the tunnel and communication related to it. I was shocked when I learned that PCL budgeted 1.5 years to build a...

Thanks! Was hoping someone would do this for my photos. :)

Of course not, that would have made more sense.. or at the very least keep this above ground to match the rest of the Southcore PATH network and not require 4 grade changes to reach Union.

Officially, it’s May/June 2020. Agreed, this has been a disaster of a road closure and PCL has not helped with their lack of communication. For what it’s worth, I have not seen a significant show of workers on that site throughout the project. I wish the city implemented a point system of some...

Not quite Toronto skyline, but didn’t know where else to put it. :) Stunning view during take off on Monday.

Sensible is correct. As a huge Raptors fan, season tickets and all, I do *not* want my address to say "Raptors Way".

The Scotiabank Arena LED screen has been in violation of the city's signage laws since it opened, by being on past 11pm, and that too at its full daytime intensity (5,000 nits), when it should be down to 300 nits after sunset. To give some context, the absolute brightest residential TV displays...

They’ve started to reinstall the windows around the TV, so it looks like it has realized its final size. Bigger than before, but smaller than the renderings. I’m happy with this.. it means at least some daylight will continue to fill the atrium and PATH connection. Having some line of sight of...

September 27 - I guess one does not simply turn a massive TV “on”.. but it’s basically on. The black rectangle at the top is actually a hole in the TV as they (I’m assuming) fix certain parts of the screen while calibrating. There is a small team standing in the square (behind the trucks below)...

September 26 - these photos were taken a minute apart.. helps appreciate how different the diamonds can look based on the position/brightness of the sun. Edit: Added a third from tonight :)

I’ve always wondered if there was a way to cut through a wall and allow MLS residents to access the underground parking via the loading dock ramp off Lake Shore. You’d have to reconfigure/secure that whole area to separate residents/shoppers from grocery shipments, players, etc. As for 15 York...

September 23 - just like that, most panels are up and they’ve turned on the LED sign

I didn’t want to assume there was low activity on the site in case they were underground, but thanks for confirming that not much has happened. The lack of communication (and perhaps urgency) is shocking considering the amount of disruption this is causing.

I remember thinking 1 year and 4 months (working 7am-11pm on weekdays) seemed like a really long time to dig a tunnel across York Street, but I also thought this is a city project so they still won’t complete it within the timeline given. Wish we had some transparency or proactive communication...

September 21 - trying out night mode on the iPhone 11 “Pro”.. iOS suggested a tilt to take out the distortion which I accepted. Colour me impressed!

September 16 - Visible progress now, panels are going up.
