Toronto Bay Adelaide Centre | 217.92m | 51s | Brookfield | KPMB

I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no connection at grade between the tower lobby and the podium lobby, although the rationale for that will likely become apparent once the podium is closer to completion.
 
Oh, yes, I'd forgotten about that. *slaps forehead* Arguably the ramp isn't a factor towards the middle of the site, at the north end of the podium (or maybe it is), but not sure a connection there makes any sense.
 
It is a factor at the north end. Before the ramp dives, a new PATH level hall crosses under the ramp near the south end and will surface in the middle of the podium.

Couldn't they just install a woonerf in the PATH, allowing pedestrians and cars to share the space, so that there could be a connection at grade? ;)
 
Now there's some advanced thinking! Within a week, I want every thread in the Buildings Forum addressing the question 'What Would The Dutch Do, And How Would We Mess It Up A Bit?"

I was simply giving you a heads up that this had already been extensively discussed. It's up to you whether you want to go take a look or not. Not my job to summarize it for you, buddy.
 
I don't believe so - the bottoms of the shafts go down that far, but you still have to go up to the lobby to get to the elevators.

Except for the parking elevators - those stop at both the ground floor and concourse levels.
