Toronto Coach Terminal Redevelopment | 147.7m | 44s | Kilmer + Tricon | Studio Gang + a—A

No change to the east building but the west building has had the fences moved away from the structure, mesh removed, cameras/speakers installed, and even the fence footers have been secured into the sidewalk, so they cannot be moved.

Someone get me the name of the Project Manager for this one, I'm putting in for their promotion.

Imagine, a very aggressive, ambitious timeline, and its actually on schedule (or very close); Yay! That's how its supposed to be done.

It was hell on earth. I won't miss it. I remember waiting outside in all crazy temperatures in a cloud of thick diesel smoke, because how many millions of times did Greyhound overbook buses and we were forced to wait 40 mins to an hour or more for a second back up bus to show up? You had to line up early!
 
I had some fun and interesting memories from when I used to take the Greyhound from Windsor, when I lived there to Toronto. And then from Toronto out east and out west one year. I remember buying a case of Vanilla Coke and taking it on the bus back to Windsor when I lived there at the time as a student. And one time, a friend and I were waiting to board the bus when a lady kept threatening her kids in front of everyone. Good, bad, and ugly memories for sure that will live on.
 
It was always a convenient place to get a ride to go see family out east - not that Union is a downgrade, not at all, but, this was a more direct way from Dundas station.
I wish I photographed this site more a few years back, but at the same time, it was always a bit rundown and unappealing to visit this terminal.
Good riddance, even though I'll miss that tunnel under Bay street.

This station always had a nostalgic feeling for me. Anything that looks and feels nostalgic, going back to a time when I was a kid, always makes me feel good, like I am stepping back into the early to mid-90s. This station and a random old greyhound stop in Sudbury were the only 2 stations I really enjoyed in my journey. The one in Sudbury had a little diner, which is a classic type of stop to me.

anecdotally projects seem to be moving faster lately and I think it's because crews aren't spread so thin. There is a lot of... availability right now in trades from my understanding.

The Greyhound station brings back lots of nostalgia for me too, and was a symbol of intercity travel in my younger days. Countless trips to and from Ottawa as a child, and that midway pit stop at the Actinolite log cabin, which is also now gone. Will always have memories of those egg sandos. Also saw New York City for my first time via bus. And later on trips back and forth to Waterloo as the cheapest option possible back then.
 
To be clear, I can’t say that my memories were all that bad for me here…it just served as function from getting from point A to point B. It’s just that the memory of standing on some fire lookout deep within in The Canadian Shield on a clear spring day just outshines anything here by a million degrees that this place had to offer in an example.

I remember the $1 Greyhound tickets we would get to go to Toronto for the day. I certainly do miss those days, which were a lot of fun. At least the memories will live on
 
Their focus has been the west terminal as of late. One thing I did notice, while walking by today, is the east terminal had all the metal barrels and recycling bins removed that used to be in the bus bay area. It's a small thing but interesting...
