Is there plans to Reno the via concourse in the same fashion as York and bay? Sorry I couldn't find anything about it

They are currently working on the new gyproc ceilings and walls in VIA concourse (having done the electrics etc) behind/above them and most of the terrazzo floors have been fixed (if not yet received their final polish). I think they managed to raise the ceilings a bit but there are limits when the concrete ceiling slab cannot be moved and the floor is also fixed as it's the roof of the newly excavated areas below. It will certainly look better.

What's going on with the lower level of York concourse? They just put barriers at the bottoms of the escalators last weekend. Why would they bother doing that... unless they'll be opening the stairs soon?

Perhaps they are opening it up via the stairs?

They are putting up drywall in front of the original hoarding just like across from Tim Horton's.Looks like they are building the shop skeletons now.

I'm interested to see how any newly installed drainage infrastructure holds up.

I think it is not yet quite finished (they are still working along York Street) so we may see problems.

Since it is a moat it will need to be filled up with water eventually. Anyone got a spare drawbridge?

Don't forget iron grilles and castle towers at the corners. And arrowslits in the walls!

That said, I think they've already improved drainage? (I hope)

Did union station suffer any water damage from flooding?

I didn't hear anything, rain turned out to be lighter than expected anyway. Was steady over a couple days, not a huge deluge in a couple hours.

They started installing the support columns today in the west moat for the roofing cover but had to stop after 4 were up because of rain. The arches would have been put up,as I saw them the ground.
