This would enable them to add a down escalator from the foodcourt to the FutureShop level as it should have had all along.

I've never been clear if the owner thought this was a bug or a feature, as the current design forces people to walk through the food court to get to the down escalator.

That said, I'm surprised that separating up and down escalators isn't a violation of some sort of building code.
 
If your coming from the ciniplex the exit is right in front of the escalator down.. you don't have to walk through the food court. Also, it would be fairly easy to make the ciniplex exit double doors if they wanted to.

Yes, but if you take the up escalator the way down is a long walk away, through the food court. It's hugely confusing to visitors, and kinda architecturally absurd (like much of that space).

... and it's clear that they admitted to that problem by having to put stickers on the floor indicating where the down escalator is. They could keep that second down escalator there for those exiting the theatre or they could just close that exit and make people leave the theatre the same way they came in.

"I'm in the food court and there's no way out!?"

That was a few years back when I was meeting a friend of mine. Got a good laugh out of that ;)

I've always assumed that was deliberate, in order to force people to walk through the food court. In the same way that you can't walk straight through a mall. They are designed to make you slow down and notice what's there to buy.

They did finally pave the basement with tiles instead of the classy painted concrete...and appear to be in the process of putting up a false ceiling up as well.

Renos for the tims seem to be happening as well, or some form of work at least. I can hear the saws running when I walk by.

Not sure if "proudly managed" also means owned too, but Cadillac Fairview puts the same signs on the Eaton Centre, and own it outright as well.
