Looks very nice, almost icy without lights. Will look cool when they go with simulated underwater lighting. Just hope that something is still to be done about minimizing the look of the panel separation.

Yeah, it seems really strange not to address the panel separation. I doubt anything will be done aboot it.

I think it's intentional.

The lines contrast with the very fluid form. It highlights the shape, and juxtaposes (fake) natural and artificial elements.


Also lets people use pretentious words like 'juxtapose'.

All the folks leaving the Green P parking garage on the west side of Market heading to Lake Shore now cut through here rather than going north to Wilton. Was this somehow intentional?

Those shots combined with the renderings give me an itchy camera trigger finger. This has promise. Bring on the lighting!

It creates very dangerous situation on the Lower Jarvis sidewalk as cars (or more often trucks) come speeding out, blind.

So not intentional?

They have finally started to finish off the south-facing wall that is above the railway tracks.

Finally, I drove by Market Wharf yesterday and was wondering about that unfinished south wall.

 

[Miscreant]

Yeah, good to hear. What was the hold up, again?

Track work by Metrolinx, they were upgrading the Union station switches to higher speed ones. Apparently many of the switches were still original from the mid 1920's.

It wasn't that at all. They had to excavate the earth away from the side of the building and build a partial retaining wall so the scaffolding could have a place to be installed. They started this in January but abandoned it due to the never ending cold.

Yes, but Metrolinx would not let them do any excavation or anything close to the tracks until they had finished their work on the berm - that's why the wall was not done properly from Day 1.
