UrbanToronto Forum contributor mburrrrr recently captured this skyscraper geekery with the arm of the Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) atop the recently built 160 Front West fully extended, its work platform hanging from its end in the lower right corner of the photo: scroll down! While a couple of crew members appear to be on the platform, there's another one (supervising?) from the "roof" of the building above. With the building all but finished, only final touches are being made at this point, and nighttime views of the tower indicate that not all of the LED light strips built into the cladding are working yet, so fixing those may be what we are seeing here. When not being used for exterior repairs or window washing, the BMU normally spends its time hidden behind the doors in the vaulted, louvered, and glassed-in top of the tower.
