Rushing probably didn't help.

It's amazing how much this intersection has changed. Street view of the main entrance location from 2009:

Knockout wall for future Finch LRT. View after coming downstairs from the northwest corner of Finch and Keele entrance.

They should put up a "Coming Soon, Finch West Light Rail Line entrance..." sign on that wall.

The renderings show some sort of screen. I agree that it looks unfinished. I hope whatever they use is of a quality that befits the rest of the station.

This is one station on the TYSSE that looks to have good ridership.

I don't like, don't understand this part.
Is it done, completed? Am I missing something?
How many pigeons will make this their home?

There are some holes along the metal strip for mounting some kind of screen - see this image by @Ed007

Please cite sources when linking photos you didn't shoot. In this case, mine.

The more I visit Finch West, the more I can't help but notice the shoddy attention to detail all over the place. Like this poorly placed sign that's obstructed by that giant column as you descend down the escalator.

Or the fact that all the countdown clocks are shoved at the very end of the platform where almost no one will see them.

And what the heck is going on here?

Also check out @Northern Light 's post (link). Compared to all the other new stations, the execution of this one leaves much to be desired.

^Is the station always this busy?

I've been through it a few times. It's about as busy as Lawrence Station - middle of the road as far as TTC stations go. The bus connections to the 36 Finch West are very useful, and there is some walk-up traffic.

I think Finch West, York U, and Pioneer Village will see middle of the road ridership, VMC with some lowish end ridership, and Downsview Park / 407 sitting shockingly empty.
