Part 5: Yonge and Harbour

My only complaint about that new bus terminal, is on the inside where the waiting area is, the glass is frosted at the bottom so you can't see the bottom half of the garage or busses when you're waiting for one.

I never quite understood why they have the glass frosted like that. It's not like they're hiding anything obscene from children...they're just buses pulling up to port. /sigh

My best guess is it helps diffuse the bus headlights shining into the terminal.

I know, and as weird as it sounds, people like to see that stuff. I guess there logic was "who want's to see a dark grey garage while waiting? We'll frost the bottom so you don't see that".

Huh, I never thought about that. The buses do pull in perpendicular to the waiting area as opposed parallel like with the previous terminal...so that's entirely plausible.

Yonge and Harbour:

 

[wmedia]

Curious as to what this big asphalt strip is that runs the entire length of the middle of the sidewalk. A future bike path, or just a future utility dig in waiting?

 

[innsertnamehere]

Bike lane.

 

[DSC]

Bike lane.

Yes, it has been there for a decade and allowed (allows) one to go behind Scotia Bank Arena, across Bay and to Yonge

New HQ vs old HQ with logo removed. So much change is happening.

lol, someone will need a large bottle of Goo Gone for that adhesive.

The logos finally come off Commerce Court West. Does that mean we should expect logos going up on this tower shortly? I was wondering when they were finally gonna add them.

TD's new logo on Brookfield Place is looking solid as well.

Looks like CIBC is keeping its hedious logo. I thought they were gonna re-design it.

Little rumour. Laurentian Bank is supposed to put their logo on there. They have a tech sub based here and they are heavy in CCW. Just some inside info. May not happen but they want a presence on the skyline.
