Sorry if this has been asked before, but to be clear, this a walkway that is going to connect to Union Station?
 
Silly question time: Er, what are they going to do with bridge portion on the west end of it? It looks ill proportioned/leveled to that tiny window there. And it's going to be a bit of a squeeze for folks to get through there unless they're small children, pets or us gnomes... 🙀
 
Yeah if I am not mistaken that window leads into what is currently city of TO / createto offices, so that whole section of the station will likely be reworked to accomodate this bridge.

Edit: perhaps not! Looks like maybe it is just BOH right now? I'm not totally sure what is on the other side of that window... Now I am very curious to see how this bridge ties into the rest of the station.

I suppose I should have, I thought it was well covered over the weekend, and it's just a deck (for now), it didn't capture my interest in the moment, LOL

🤔 Is it possible they're still planning on lowering the deck to line up with the window on the west side & having a ramp down to the deck on the east? It seems they have some room to do that, even though the supports look done.

Also, I always thought the green thing crossing the street was a bridge. If not, what is it?

Railway platform 3, if memory serves. You could cross the street via it, back in the day, but obviously from a safety/crowd management perspective having this separate, dedicated pedestrian bridge is preferable.
