i love the retaining wall, possibly one step closer to covering up the tracks

it will be a while before they finally cover up the tracks

Our whole train system would have to be electrified before they even think of doing that.

exactly or they would have to have grates or pipes comming out of the ground to get the exauste out of the tunnel.

it would be really hard to.

Ever since they got rid of that train yard near there, there are many more trains going around there.

At Rush Hour you could have up to 4 trains (one is Via) going beside each other.

I think the train yard just east of Bathurst is not gone but is being rebuilt. GO wants to have two downtown train yards where trains can 'rest' during the day. This one between Bathurst and Spadina and the one they just built at the Don River. By having these two yards near Union Station they can be ready (well, as ready as GO can be) to get the rush-hour trains going.

27 January 2009 photo update

Drove by Luna today (without a camera unfortunately) and was pleasantly suprised to see the addition of random tall, vertical glass "strips" on the outside of balconies on the south, concave elevation... creates a beautiful pattern.

With apologies to Current, looks something like this (colour is just an identifier):

...

Hopefully someone with a camera will snap the south side.

Luna "tall" and Luna "midrise" are shaping up to be the best looking and best massing of all the Cityplace thingmabobs... by far.

...

You can just make out these glass facade strips on ProjectEnd's model photo:

good eye man,thats good news... so many projects have threatened to do this sort of thing in their renderings but rarely made it into the actual building.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Good eye 3D. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

Drove by on the Gardiner just now and saw what 3D was referring to. They are small panels which extend one floor but are placed in groups of two to form the effect 3D described above. No camera sorry.

IMO this is by far the best CityPlace building constructed thus far with its dark hues and sweeping curves.
