Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

I would assume they’ll fix this once they wrap up construction here

I highly doubt it, that section and that hump has been like that way for many years before CIBC was started.

"They" as in it's unlikely their problem to fix unfortunately. /sigh

I sure hope so, looking froward to getting this intersection done, hopefully for the summer season.

I guess you are new to the City? :-> That is, obviously, how things OUGHT to be but .....

As promised, here is a pic of Yonge Street under the railway corridor. Pretty bad, the pic doesn't do it justice.

The plaza seems largely finished tonight:

A small section by the stairs to the doors remains fenced off.

Inside, signage is being hung from the ceiling.

Through the dirty windows, I can read:

FARES
PLATFORMS 1, 2
UNION STATION BUS TERMINAL

ESCALATOR TO
THE PARK
UNION STATION

Out back along the new laneway, a glass cube can be seen illuminated.

The Dominon Building's side is in terrible shape, I wonder if CIBC Square is responsible for repaving it after using it for staging the last few years. Otherwise, this thing looks ready to open any day now. Maybe after the weekend?

PLATFORMS 1, 2

Did it actually say platform 1, 2? If you’re back there again can you get a clearer picture?

Maybe it was a 4. Honestly the windows were filthy. What platforms should it be? You can either go straight into the teamway or turn left into a hallway that I think goes behind the lobby but could also lead up to a platform. Hard to tell without going inside.

Indeed, I think the platforms @ Union actually start at 3 for reasons I forget. (Is it that they counted the two subway platforms??)

The platforms that are accessible down that hallway are 4-13, and 21, and up the escalator is platform 3.

Hope they didn’t put 1 or 2 anywhere haha

I will check at lunchtime.

I'm also curious to see what they're doing in that fenced in area at Union. Seems like too much to just be painting the blocks, maybe they're removing them for more bollards which would make more sense at the corner.

The level of shit workmanship they're doing in front of a National Historic Landmark vs what CIBC is accomplishing at a private development is a shame on our public leadership. Hopefully some day, we get granite curbs and sidewalks at Union like CIBC Square's beautiful workmanship.

The Municipal511 site has this info on the roadwork NORTH of the rail berm. They appear to have permission to install an island in Yonge St!
