Speaking of this illumination, this could be a long-term opportunity to discuss Richmond Hill being connected to either Broadview or Castlefrank TTC station. The vertical elevation difference already exists at one station in Washington DC's Metro subway (a very long series of escalators), but could be done with stairs, inclinator, and/or gondola.
Although Richmond Hill isn't getting the 15-min all-day two-way "Regional Express Rail" (RER) treatment, it could happen if the 407 Freight Bypass gets built, and Richmond Hill becomes dramatically more useful, or the use of the Don Branch as a north-south transit route, etc. The Luminous Veil would be one small pedestrian-friendly step towards this ultimate goal of an interchange between two all-day frequent rapid transit lines above/below.
This would probably not happen for another twenty years at least, but it could be eventually appear on the radar along with extra draws to Danforth as well as a small bit of Bloor subway relief.
