Sept 29
Had a visit to Burlington and even it been open 100%, its still not finish.
The #2 elevator still not working and installed at the same time as the first one. Other work still taking place with no interference to the public. The old kiss & ride lot close so it can be rebuilt.
The hording in the corridor at the east entrance indicated there could be retail there at some future date.
GO Buses are using the stops beside the main entrance.
Bus Bays are number 4-14 with 4-5, 13-14 in the driveway. There is no word what Burlington Transit plans are at this time for using the new bus area that they used before. There are 3 options as what could happen and time will tell which one gets use.
Option 1: As it was before construction.
Option 2: Leave things as they are now.
Option 3: move all the routes to the south side new bus loop.
Regardless which option is use, riders are going to spend more time either on the buses getting to/from the station or walking from one loop to another.
All GO tickets agents have fans sitting on the table beside them and the first station I have seen this done.
Very few seats to sit down on at this time.
Hard to say at this time if the fence between the station and the towers being built next door will remain or have a gate and walkway in it or be remove 100% once all construction is done. Will add a number of new riders to the station. They are building tower 2 and 3 is just coming out of the ground. The plan calls for 5 20s towers, but some are going to be taller with enough room for 6 towers.
One thing I was seeing and seen it at other station beside GO, is the illegal drop off or pickup in the bus loop area. Saw a few stating to make the left turn to realize their mistake by either pulling back into traffic or making a U-Turn. Need bigger signs with flashing lights tell these clues drivers not to enter.
Lots more photos up on site.
