Peaking through the cracks, not much to see though.

Twitter discussion about the Union Station logo

Hm, maybe just because I have my own ideas of how it could look that makes me think ways it could be improved. When I think Union I think lines intersecting, not really a series of separate ones. Also think "Union" should be all caps and part of the logo. Right now it seems added in and doesn't meld well with the logo. Bah I already made my own concept.

OCS I can understand - you want a sh*tty logo to not draw attention. The three guys is a bathtub that is the Ontario government logo is criminal compared to the original masterpiece.

Used to see holly, but never thought of three guys in a tub. Aw now I can't unsee that lol. To this day scratching my head at why they changed our logo.

Lots more HVAC work, as well as bracketing and cable trays for electrical up in the Bay Concourse.

The stone paneling is also going up which is a good sign.

 

[Le Gique]

There are now signs for Scotiabank Arena as well.

Has this signage change now been suspended, or even reversed...?

It has been reversed.

It looked like another shop in the front street promenade is about to open very soon... it's the retail unit to the east of WVRST but to the west of the shops that have already opened. Has paper covering most of the windows but up near the top they weren't too thorough and I could see inside. They've already got the interior all done up.

It's Union Mercado (or union market)

Looks like concrete forms for the bridge/balcony thing are going up. These were taken yesterday.

Facing East:

And a bonus shot of Royal Bank Plaza and Brookfield Place through the moat glass:

Ah yes, the view of the moat outside of rush hour.

I was in here the other day and was surprised by how spacious the moat is. The pictures don't give you a sense. You gotta see it for yourself. It's quite nice.

And, finally, closeups of moat flooring.

Photographed through holes in construction fences from York Street ending.

Looks like real granite.

Moat flooring looks alligator-proofed, too.

^ Hope they have a good strategy to make sure these don't heave over time.

While we're at it, a new vantage point of the "high gangway"

I am very curious -- what pedestrian connections will this gangway have?

Front West Moat <-> Bay St Moat (avoiding stairs within Front East moat)
