Walked by the Bloor GO works and the elevated section of the grade crossing this evening. The cladding is coming along with the plastic film cover now removed from what I saw. I was surprised to see that the panels actually somewhat provided a nice smoky mirror effect of the sunset. Still too...

Why must all sound walls in this region be grey or a subset of grey?

Lovely addition in the ramp between the Great Hall and VIA concourse. A level below that stairs are now visible behind construction fencing leading below the VIA concourse.

I mean, at least the time savings should make users happy compared to surface-level buses!

It all looks so great, finally, except for the interface with York Street. You can clearly see where the property line and scope of the Union work abruptly ends.

Is 10km/h operating speed at intersections official TTC operating policy for all streetcar routes?

Agreed. The dust in that hallway, as well as the leather shop bypass when it was open, is so much that it clumps into large tumbleweeds of hairs and dirt.

Noticed this AM that the outdoor granite flooring connecting the moat to the York teamway is finally half complete.

Good catch! One other downside I realized about the tower was that it will soon block out one's view of the CN tower when driving westbound on the Eastern portion of the Gardiner when coming from the DVP. A small concession for such a lovely tower, but still a downside.

The stairs have been open every day this week during the AM rush hour.

I like this! A good overflow viewing area during these crazy Jurassic-Park-stretching-back-to-Simcoe-St days!

Not sure if this has been posted yet but the hoarding and tarps are down between the Great Hall and VIA Concourse, beautiful natural light now flooding the passageway once again through the exposed class ceiling!

This occurs on a semi-annual, if not greater, basis in this thread

That's great to hear! Hopefully this applies for Maple Leaf Square as well. Throw in Yonge-Dundas Square too while we're at it.
