Maybe it’s just as well, because whenever I’m around Union, (usually at least once weekly) at least one of the existing escalators is not working. And they’re all climate-protected.
The CoT are temporarily housing their offices behind the hoarding.
we've already established that this space in the Great Hall is for offices.
Take it easy, the Great Hall isn't closed to the public. Stop being so alarmist about everything.Temporarily? So this space won't be offices when completed?
@urbanyimby suggests that it's been established that it'll be offices.
Can we clear this up? The Great Hall shouldn't be given away for private uses and closed to the public. A restaurant or a public lounge with access to the balcony would be ideal.
They definitely have to "errata" it, I heard they'll begin doing that that after being more finished with Bay.I am quite disappointed by the state of the York Concourse. Half of the ceiling is visible and other where there are ceiling panels have yellow stains and there are plenty of areas where water is leaking.
Though one might wonder why this was not done sooner, they have been pulling wires through that dropped ceiling for several weeks (and making occasional holes to do so). Over the months, they have been repairing sections of plaster and though it is certainly a mess it is really something that is quick to repair and probably best NOT repaired until all the work in the area is done. It bugs me too but it is something best done towards the end of the work in that area.They definitely have to "errata" it, I heard they'll begin doing that that after being more finished with Bay.
I heard the platform trackbed waterproofing/sealing is being done more rigorously at Bay concourse than York concourse.
I'm more displeased at the untouched state of the cielings under the Great Hall, where the old fashioned shops are. Something gotta be done to refinish those.

It will not be offices. 61 Front Toronto Offices are apparently under renovations, and are temporarily being housed in the Great Hall until complete. That space will then eventually become whatever it was envisioned to be... a restaurant or public space.

With the platform / trackbed reworking going on over the last few years... it’s still downright leaky, getting better, but still.Though one might wonder why this was not done sooner, they have been pulling wires through that dropped ceiling for several weeks (and making occasional holes to do so).

The Front st East moat "balcony" route is now open, leading to the leather shop bypass
