Where do you see the gardener? Is he/she planting? Please share your insights.No matter how you slice it and dice it, that gardener’s got to go! period
If you mean the wall with 'bits & pieces' of 'heritage' artefacts that was just inside the Bay Street doors to SBA, the artefacts were being put back on the wall last week - below the new escalators.When the bus station which is in its current spot until Friday, is there any word if CIBC and the developer are keeping the "heritage wall" that was part of the original CP Rail Express and Transport Building?
If you do not need to travel you should stay home. The new GO bus terminal will be there for a while.Ethical question. Should I take a GO Bus on Saturday to use the new terminal or does that go against the spirit of lockdown?

News Release New Union Station Bus Terminal to Officially Open December 4, 2020 Larger Terminal Offers Greater Safety, Comfort and Better Transit Connections TORONTO — The Ontario government is enhancing passenger safety and customer experience with the official opening of the new Union Station GO Bus Terminal. Beginning tomorrow transit riders will have full access to the new two-level, indoor terminal located on the north-east corner of Bay Street and Lake Shore Boulevard. It will provide riders travelling in and out of the Greater Toronto Area with more direct connections to GO trains, the TTC, VIA Rail and UP Express. "Our government is building accessible, modern transit infrastructure, and making public transit a safe and attractive option," said Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation. "The opening of the new Union Station Bus Terminal demonstrates our government's promise to bring a better travel experience to the everyday lives of Ontarians." The new terminal provides a larger indoor, climate-controlled space of more than 23,000 square feet. This will enable customers to comfortably and safely wait for their bus and board without leaving the building, and access to convenient amenities such as charging ports and free Wi-Fi. For enhanced safety, gates to platforms will remain closed until buses are ready to board or de-board, making it easy for customers to stay safely away from moving vehicles. "This milestone is part of our government's broader vision to deliver better, safer and more reliable travel options for the people of Ontario," said Kinga Surma, Associate Minister of Transportation (GTA). "By making significant investments and building historic transit projects now, we are ensuring that future generations have access to a world class public transit system." A new indoor glass pedestrian bridge built above Bay Street connects the terminal to Scotiabank Arena, the PATH and Union Station, allowing customers to easily transfer between buses and trains and get to other downtown attractions. "The Union Station Bus Terminal is an integral part of our GO bus network and an important step forward in the overall enhancement of Union Station," said Phil Verster, Metrolinx President and CEO. "The larger and more comfortable space will offer an even better experience for customers who are catching a bus at the terminal or connecting to the other parts of the city or the region. We can't wait to welcome our customers into the new home of the GO bus." "This bus terminal provides a harmonious connection between work and home for all CIBC SQUARE building occupants, eliminating stress from the workday commute," said David Hoffman, General Manager, CIBC SQUARE. |

It bothers me that the announcement starts with "customer safety" when this was designed a decade before coronavirus. If you buy the height of government manipulation these days you are the problem! This opening has zero to do with customer safety and the government should be ashamed for even including that nonsense in this announcement, nevermind leading with it.
