Union Station: Northwest PATH Expansion

[Mo-tage]

That intersection is a zoo right now, what a mess. The need a sign to tell people that they can get across front street just east of university in front of the royal york, instead of them walking up the very narrow traffic lane.

Camping on the 2-4 weekend?

 

[hihihi]

why is this part of the high rise thread and not infrastructure/transportation?

 

[khris]

There's a lot of threads that I would think should be in the low rise section at the very least. But I think it's mostly up to Ed, not anyone else.

 

[Kitsune]

does anyone know when york street is schedule to reopen ? It seem like this over 6 months behind schedule.

Finally some good info on Phase II - from the August Government Management Committee Report:

It should be noted that the Northwest Path Tunnel Phase 1 (across Front Street) is currently under construction with an expected completion by the end of 2014. Phase 2 (up York Street from Front Street to Wellington Street) approved construction budget is included in the current forecast and is based upon the 30% design completion to-date. Final design will be completed in late 2014 for initiation of construction in later 2015 after the PanAm games.

...So does this mean they only built the external entrances but not the underground connections to Union?

Isn't the underground connection the big entrance into the moat that's shown? And the moat get's covered, I assume.

Waiiiiit a minute. Are you saying that after all this, there's no tunnel under there?! I thought we were on the finishing-touches part of the project!

You can see the tunnel entrance in the picure. What am I missing?
