Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

[Mercator]

Found out there is (sorry, will be) a bicycle station for 220 bikes at Union Station. See link. There are currently 120 bike racks.

This already exists and has been open for years. What I was talking about in the thread above was that I can see a new secured storage area being completed just north of the teamway. I would be interested to know (as I assume this new one will be operated by CoT) if the existing secured storage area(s) south of the teamway will close when the new one opens.

Confirmed. New indoor bike parking. North-east of York teamway, concourse level.

Also, a new set of stairs is now open leading from the West side of great hall down to concourse level on the York side. I like the finish detail that is coming together in the revitalized bits. Super classy and respectful to the heritage of the building!

I have Halloween treats for all. Just stitching the panos now, stay tuned.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the retail area that will be run by Osmington looks pretty cool: http://www.partisanprojects.com/projects-index/union-station

That's beautiful! Love the ceilings and the treatment around the supports.

I agree. That is a beautiful rendering.

In reality it looks identical in finish to the York Promenade. Unfortunately it appears they opted for the financially conservative option. Pics below.

Dare I say it actually looks beautiful in this shot.

• It is very soothing and relaxing in this area compared to the rest of the promenade.
• The difference is that the LED strip lighting has yet to activated in this area.
• The design has overlight the promenade areas.

Bay concourse demolition. October 22nd, 2015.

Bondfield is keeping things locked down much-much tighter than Carillion. (Maybe because they are new kid on the block... who knows...) It just means that I cannot get on the inside to take pictures of Bay Concourse demolition. These are my best "spy-shots" of demolition progress from today. Sorry for the poor angle, I could not get any closer and they are taken from behind a fence.

This pic is facing South coming from the TTC. To the left used to be Go Ticket Wickets and Michel's Baguette. The centre use to be where the Tim's and to the Right was where Cinnabon was.

I'll post some inside shortly.
