Yes, they are covered, but not sealed in at the ends. They seem to have thought this through very thoroughly… I suspect you'll get dramatic night lighting.

Lighting will be incorporated into the framing of the skylight IIRC

I wonder how windy it will be inside the sheltered shopping concourses.
I can't wait for this to be completed!

I hope that the City hasn't missed the incredibly obvious opportunity to have The Well fund the part of RailDeck park that's in front of it. Such a massive city block sized project could easily fund decking over the rail corridor for a park in exchange for some rights of use. Maybe Allied gets naming rights to the park and corporate use of a stage or square in the park or even ownership of their part of the park for a number of years with the stipulation that it be open to the public and maintained. I know that rendering artists often take broad creative licenses in imagining a finished project, but the fact that RailDeck Park was included in the latest renderings gives me a little bit of hope that they know something that hasn't yet been publicly announced.

The cash in lieu of parkland alone that this project is generating must be a huge number. Does anyone know what the Section 37 contributions are funding?I hope that the City hasn't missed the incredibly obvious opportunity to have The Well fund the part of RailDeck park that's in front of it.

It's all listed here (and nothing for the Rail Deck Park) - https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2017/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-100940.pdf

that isn't actually that much section 37 given the scale of the project.

The Well's Section 37's contributions were not amended this summer. DSC - what you reference this past July was contributions from the Portland Commons project.

Ooops! Sorry. Deleting first post!
The Section 37 Bylaw is from January 2017, so negotiated in 2016, too early for Rail Deck Park.
The cash in lieu of parkland comes after the actual parkland the City is getting from this development, which are the properties at 19 Draper and 456 Wellington West. The number that was determined to cover the discrepancy (between the 10% of land required and what was actually provided) was $2M. The City is going to use that for the construction costs of the two parks.
$13M plus the $2M park in lieu plus the land for the 2 parks. The developers have had 19 Draper for a long time I believe, but can anyone look up what they paid for the 456 Wellington property recently?

It would be more than 10% here since the site is larger than a hectare - I believe the size qualifies it for a 15% dedication rate.
