I just hope Union Park gets built and then if we get some sort of extended rail deck park to union station the whole area will be tied in.

After 44 years the CN Tower is still the tallest example of Brutalist architecture in the world !

Maybe getting a bit too brutal? I know, I know... purists will say leave the patches alone but I'm dying to put some concrete lipstick on the icon (matching shade of course).
This begs the question... what happens when you cannot patch it anymore?

You can patch and repair concrete almost 'for ever' - as long as you don't let the concrete and the rebar 'go too far'. The 'innards" are more likely to fail (or no longer be needed).

Nice, though the undulating wood soffit look gimmicky, clashes with the lines of the original structure and will be passe easily. Still, good to see them improving the glass floor as well as cleaning up and redesigning the lower observation deck (which is super grungy with those jailbars).
What I do wish is for them to push the envelope a bit - like embedding a transparent LCD overlay atop the window pane that allows for identification of local landmarks.

I dunno. I feel like I would be standing under a big mushroom, magically delicious...

Anyone else a bit concerned that they might be fully enclosing the outdoor space? I can't tell from either the renders or the release what the plan is on that front, but "extending indoor observation" gives me cause for worry.

It looks like they are just glassing in and improving that space. Not overly worried since it is a pretty dreadful experience as is.

If you look closely it's glass for the first 3/4 of the angled viewing area and the top 1/4 is still netting, meaning it will still technically be open air, even if it is mostly enclosed.

Yeah, I was wondering if that was just a regular mullion near the top, or if it was the edge of the glass.

I wish if the announcement included plans to install a taller spire on the top of the CN Tower.
At its current height, it's the ninth tallest freestanding structure in the world.
