Gonna beat that dead horse once more-

Still salty about the fact that they didn't save the canopy, which was probably the only reason why the building would have been saved in the first place.

Today, I had a peek into the new Wellesley Subway Entrance here.

Hopefully the subway entrance opens soon

The subway entrance will likely open when the other subway entrance at Clover on Yonge does. They’re currently building the tunnel under Dundonald St linking the 2 new entrances.

Great addition to the neighbourhood.

Did they really need to retain that building?

I liked how the original building used to be. But they botched the rebuilt adaptation of it. It looks lazy and is clad in mostly spandrel panels. Shame because this is otherwise a very solid building.

The subway entrance still isn’t open.

They even had the lights activated on the above-door signage as well as the pylon the other day. Which like, that's gonna be confusing for anyone that isn't local. It looks like it should be an active subway entrance, and it's just... not.

I assume the wait is due to the tunnel connecting to the entrance being built at Clover, but surely they could just block that tunnel off and open this entrance before Clover is finished. Otherwise, it's gonna be a while before this opens.

Today. The subway entrance - I guess they’re in no hurry to open now. May open simultaneously with the Clover entrance, whenever that condo is occupied.

The subway entrance remains forever inaccessible:

What is the significance and purpose of the signage....

”Reconstructed
NINE FEET NORTH
(coordinates)”

is it some kind of academic public art installation?

The former building on site's facade was "reconstructed" (the quotes there because it was more of a reinterpretation than a reconstruction) nine feet north of its original location and integrated into the podium of the new tower.
