Incidentally, this also becomes a new shortcut to Air Canada Centre, if an entrance to Bay Teamway is connected to the York Concourse Food court (via the planed pedestrian expressway they're building inside Union)
If so, the signage to "Air Canada Centre" is not a mistake.
I dunno, that ladder looks kinda shakey to me, not to mention my bike and dog climbing it too, but I did watch Mission Impossible last night, and stayed at a Holiday Inn once, and lived to talk about it, so here goes...Bay Concourse lighting!!

Haha! Okay, that ONE got me. Yes.I think the issue is the air Air Canada Centre was renamed in June to Scotiabank Arena.

If so, the signage to [Air Canada Centre -> Scotiabank Arena] only needs to be fixed. It indeed is a shortcut, since I know about the central pedestrian expressway connecting both Bay teamway+York teamway thru the central axis of Union Station lower level...!
The fitting out of the York Concourse is not being handled by Bondfield as it is not part of the "official' Union Station work . Fitting out is up to the tenants (or the Head Lessee, Osmington.)In the food court area, I noticed a garbage bin with a PCL logo on it. I'm wondering if PCL took over from Bondfield? This may explain the accelerated efforts recently.
Speaking of saving so much time, that it feels like time travel:WOW!! A wormhole back in time.
Speaking of saving so much time, that it feels like time travel:
I don't think the pedestrian expressway is long enough to enable enough speed to trigger time travel. Whether an 88kph DeLorean or a running Flash superhero. But...

Even opening just 1/2 width -- even with ugly construction hoarding in the Bay Concourse section -- just opening one of these routes partially -- would be a big help to navigating Union.
It'd be almost as good as time travel, compared to the maze quagmire near TTC that eats unsuspecting tourists for breakfast.
You notice it's a dotted line.Looking at that map... I guess they originally planned to maintain the tunnel to Royal York Hotel? Must have changed their minds pretty early on.
