Did they actually go into the Bay concourse and Are there more media sources of this event?

I wonder if the media got a tour of the unfinished Front St Promenade ceiling. Such an embarrassment.

So according to this, the final completion is expected for September 2020 or 6.5 years late.
But I doubt the restaurants and shops will be ready. It took nearly four years after York Concourse opened that the Food Court opened. So Maybe by late 2022 it will be done.
Also, the overhead walkways connecting CIBC Square II wont be done till 2024.

This was a media event and they had to wear safety boots, hard hats and safety glasses so I think you should watch TV tonight or read papers tomorrow. I assume they went almost everywhere.

4 years into that portion of the project.
We are supposed to be impressed, right?

Sneak peek at revamped Bay Street concourse at Union Station
Construction on the new Bay Street concourse at Union Station won’t be completed until the end of this year but on Tuesday morning officials opened up the doors to the worksite for the first time to give commuters a sneak peek at what they can expect.

And the first sentence is:
Away from public view, the new section of Union Station is fast taking shape.
Fast? Did Metrolinx hire the Iraqi Information Minister from the 2003 war or something!
This "spread the BS very thick and they might not notice" stuff we see increasingly from various public relations departments is becoming increasingly tiresome. And I don't get it,. If Metrolinx is willing to lie point blank about something so blatant, why trust them on anything they say? And what's to gain - it's not even a Metrolinx-run project ... the delays aren't even on them.

Though, when I saw the stuff on this page, I was surprised to see the progress.

This is what the York Concourse looked like around two years before it opened.
