Future entrance via the pedestrian bridge from Scotiabank Arena

Has anyone seen plans of how the pedestrian link will work on west side of Bay Street? Will there be an overhead walkway inside the ticket lobby of the Scotia Bank Arena that will link to the PATH going to the Arena and QQW - thus avoiding the unpleasant stairs that are the access now? Will there be escalators in the SBA 'lobby' to/from this walkway? (It may be significant that 'they' removed all the artifacts from the old Postal Delivery Building from the walls of the SBA lobby.)

Does any one knows how many floors been poured at each time ? thank you..

Looks like two floors per lift. ~10 days. Oct 11&22
2 new beams for the park

I looked at the 45 Bay files again and cannot see where they deal with any work inside ACC (aka Scotia Bank arena) on west side of Bay. They do, of course, show the new PATH leaving 45 Bay .... Help, please!

Thanks, from this is appears that the PATH bridge from 45 Bay will just cross Bay and then descend to the 'ticket lobby'. I had hoped it would produce a better connection to the PATH that runs THROUGH the SB Arena towards QQW. This permit, on City Buildings site, shows that that are getting ready:

They've already completed these foundations for the north escalator and elevator. That was completed prior to the Leafs/Raptors began their respective seasons. They still need to complete the foundation for the south escalator.

Are there any renders for the bridge? It'd be nice if it was as visually appealing as the new one at the Eaton Centre.

 

[whatever]

I think what we're getting is what's shown in the elevation view above

Just after the Nick Cave concert last night. Soft iPhone pic but when you're at the foot of it the thing massively hulking.

Thanks, but that's is not really a 'render' - one day I assume we will either see a render-picture of it or see it in 'real life'.
