I find the night lighting underwhelming in the photos (haven't been in-person yet). It could just be that the areas don't photograph well at night, but there are large, dark areas and the ceiling should be lit up more to show it off.

Visiting the Highline and Hudson Yards and there is so much consideration and care for how the area is lit at night, and it's all indirect, subtle lighting that you don't notice but adds to the experience.

I see some of that here, with under-rail lighting and things like that, but from a distance I would think at first glance that certain areas are closed because they're so dark.

They really need to repave Draper St, preferably with cobblestones.

Pavers are a lot more practical and accessible for wheeled folks/micromobility.

Indeed. You would need somewhere to relocate the permit parking on the street at the very least as residents don't have off-street parking access. It's not impossible - the Netherlands has been building large, centralized garages to shift street parking off-street, but it won't be cheap.

There's a big-ass parking garage in the Well.

Fully agree. The seasonal uplighting they set up during winter was actually very nice! I’d love to see a more permanent maybe toned down a bit version of that year round.

They build such a beautiful glass atrium they should show it off.

I think what this really needs is some lush, impressive planters. I miss the malls of the '90s where it almost felt like you're stepping into a forest. It's a beautiful space but in all the pictures it just looks a bit.... sparse.

They seem to have a new solution to the pizza box litter issue. Saw a couple of these on the Lower Level.

 

[Brandonschaus]

I guess that works

Prepping an enclosed escalator. Wellington entrance.

 

[evandyk]

I guess that works

Kind of, although it doesn't solve the root problem which is that they give you a huge box for a single slice of pizza.

its like the girls in the ad are laughing at how paradoxical this problem and resolution are

Exactly, the pizza store should also benefit from a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to those boxes
