Should there be separate blog for the second tower starting with the information on the previous page ? Now that it's about to commence in two months!

I think we can extrapolate from the post above that the answer to your question is likely no...

what? nobody will ever see it, unless GO decides to double berth, which seems far fetched at this point

What were you expecting to see on the underside of a half completed bridge / "elevated park"?

It wont age well, but as of now at least it looks much better then the current "historic" Bush Shed.

I dunno, maybe something simpler, or a little less ugly.

It's just my opinion, but I think that corrugated sheet metal is the worst and ugliest covering possible. I'd almost rather they just let us see the structural beams.

Are we sure this is the finished product? I assume they'd be more focused on using their efforts to finalize the tower for CIBC.

I really wish they had used darker glass on the middle inset and corners. Would have made the diamond sections pop more.

I think they will have lights come on at night which will show the contours of the diamonds.

Yeah but during the day, especially on cloudy ones, darker glass would have helped in that regard.

To tie a bow on the finish to the underside of the park question - it's an "open metal grille soffit panel system"
