Expect tv crews to be at the entrance to the lot on the 18th to farm the rage from those people oblivious to all the signage.

Not that anyone in the neighbourhood with a Rogers connection is going to be able to watch it properly. Let's just say they seem to have been woefully unprepared for the arrival of the current crop of condos & new connections, never mind these new suites. The last two years has seen significant degradation in service for existing clients.

I haven't had any issues, and I live two blocks from here. Is it just TV you're having issues with?

Just east off Faywood here. Probably is just me (thanks for the reply) but this past summer I got a new modem/router delivered by Teksavvy for the Rogers network per Rogers' demand, they said. Looks like traffic shaping ever since, neither TV nor internet have worked properly. Figured it was related to all the new condos at Tippett and now at the Nordic on Wilson, the legacy accounts are being squeezed.

That seems about as well thought out as most recent projects in around town. If the north sidewalk is closed between Wilson Heights and the Allen bridge, access from the east can only be gained
1. via the south entrance on Wilson, a stair climb up and over Wilson and back down stairs and into the station or
2. a longer walk along the south side of Wilson to Billy Bishop Way and then across at the lights and a walk back to the west entrance at the passenger pick-up & drop-off or
3. a walk farther back east to the entrance off Wilson's north sidewalk west of the bridge.
Disappointing. Hopefully they'll try to keep the sidewalk open and only close it for a short period if absolutely necessary.

Or the bus stop on either side of the station, at Wilson Heights and Billy Bishop.

That would be the Wilson Heights bus stop that isn't officially there because the Nordic blew-up the pre-existing proper bus stop with shelter & signage at Faywood Blvd and hasn't put it back. Maybe they'll replace it once the park is in place but I'm not confident. These options are useful if your goal is to go east or west on Wilson but if you're headed to the subway, major detour.

They moved it across the street to the west until the new one is built.
