The fire exit signs are also attached to the emergency lighting system so they stay on if all the other lights in the restaurant go off. It's pretty standard to have these things in public spaces like restaurants, even if it doesn't match the rest of the decor.

It is obligatory under the Fire Code to have (standard) Exit signage in all indoor public areas and for it to be connected to the emergency generator
 
Some of this might be new...from Union email today:

From traditional arepas and empanadas to hearty pabellón criollo, each dish is crafted with care to bring the flavors of Venezuela to life. Experience a culinary journey at Venezolano.

Cinnaholic ​

You asked for Cinnamon Buns! Here it is! Opening this April, get ready to “roll” into Union Station for Cinnaholic’s “cinn-sational” selection of cinnamon rolls. Featured on Shark Tank in 2014, Cinnaholic is a Union Station experience you will not want to miss.

Taco Bell ​

Talk about tasty tacos. North America’s largest Mexican inspired fast food chain Taco Bell is making its Union Station debut this April. When the bell sounds for lunch or dinner, you can now enjoy that crunch with Taco Bell at Union.

I’m currently working on a map so we can track vacancy rates on the retail level of the station, I’m going to add unit numbers but does anyone have any suggestions for other things I could add?

Connected to a generator? Are you sure? That seems complete overkill. Wouldn't every business require a generator? I don't see that many around.

When does that go into effect?

I'd think that just using batteries would be just as effective. And less fuel spills and accidents!

There are minimum building size and occupancy loads before they’re required. And I think batteries are ok as long as they’ll last a certain amount of time.

Yes, of course batteries are also OK (many public places like smaller stores do not have emergency generators). I think they need to be 'trickle charge' batteries that are connected to an electric outlet and are being constantly being 'topped up' but not 100% sure of that. See https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/070213

We were promised fast trains years ago too. That's a bigger disappointment.

We were also promised that the restoration of the Great Hall would be finished for the 2015 Pan-Am Games and that the Jersey Barriers in front would be removed/improved 2+ years ago. promises, promises, promises.

I feel I might be alone in this, but yay Taco Bell! 😂 😋
 
You’re probably almost alone.

There’s a new Venezuelan place in the food court at first Canadian place that seems a lot like this, and it doesn’t appear to be doing very well.
