And what was there before;

Well, I guess we should be lucky that Cadillac Fairview doesn't make movies, otherwise we'd be getting: "CF: The Avengers 4" and "CF Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

Main sponsor of the big annual cystic fibrosis fundraiser? The CF CF event?

New owner of the Toronto CTV affiliate? CF CFTO? Or, worse, the Montreal affiliate - CF CFCF.

They’ve moved the 2 larger signs up by 1 window pane, so the signs aren’t sitting on top of each other anymore.

That makes sense.

The two bigger signs are obviously for the distant view from further back in the mall, whereas the entrance signs are for wayfinding.

I have to say this is one of those projects that came damn near close to exactly like the renders. Shame in the end about the stoplights - would have been cool to have newer designs of those but that's a redtape nightmare I'm sure!

It seem to have lost a little delicacy with a few rungs getting deleted at the Easton Centre end.

Shots from the opening today:

How does eastbound traffic tell what the traffic light says ? It looks completely blocked by the bridge.

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Wonder when this bridge will show up in a TV show/movie. Star Trek Discovery anyone?

There's likely another set of lights on the west side.

edit: I see now that they have one facing west on the north/east side. Why would they install that?? lol

At least Cadillac Fairview isn't in the theme park business, because it would share its acronym with Cedar Fair (owner of Canada's Wonderland).

They already used the Aga Khan a couple episodes ago, so that's a pretty good bet!

And oh boy does it ever look neat at night; from the streetsofotoronto Instagram:

I took this last night. I’m liking how the streetcar tracks carry the coloured light reflections of the bridge...

After hearing a few comments about the bridge interior looking like the barrel of a gun, I had a bit of Photoshop fun:

Daniel Craig was super cool about it too.
