    Hi! From what I’ve been told an article with the full map will be coming out sometime this week. I’ll also be posting it in the relevant threads when that happens

    Destination Ontario does regularly have a pop up table in the Bay Concourse, but I agree it was an unfortunate loss, it was in a great spot close to the UP Express station I remember reading on twitter that the volunteer-ran tourist desk is getting fully removed when they replace the floors...

    The Bovine Wine Club unit would be a good size and location for an Apple Store, I always thought something like a Shoppers would go well in that spot too I’m personally not a big fan of the wine club and by extension the restaurant across the hall, both are a bit too specialised for the average...

    The next 4 maps for my Toronto Union Station map project are finished. Layer 12 focuses on the regional rail platform level portion of Union Station between Bay Street and Yonge Street: • Bay West Teamway Platform Entrances • Yonge Street Bridge Platform Entrances • Platforms 3-27...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    They do clear the snow during the day with shovels or snow blowers, and push it onto the tracks too, I saw both happening at multiple stations last Sunday.

    If you somehow segregate GO passengers to only the Bay/York/Bremner Concourses you’d have to remove dozens of platform entrances in the middle of the station, which would overload the GO concourses as mentioned above. The reconfiguration could end up being much different from my concept which...

    In my message above I said ignoring the lineups. The concourse still is too small for more than a couple hundred people at once, and way more than a hundred people will be passing through this space at any point in the future. If ALTO does use this concourse, it could see at least 6 trainloads...

    I’m personally still a strong believer that the VIA Concourse couldn’t be used for ALTO service no matter where the platforms are, even with a modern boarding process there’s gonna be too many passengers who need to pass through the space. Factoring out lineups, the concourse is almost at full...

    Couple observations around Union I noticed today: The new metal framing I asked about a few weeks ago was for improved gates to the smaller market stalls, no more ugly yellow fencing! The unoccupied retail unit between the security office and the convenience store in the Front Street...

    So who does maintenance and inspects this pole? I assume someone has to every so often Anything that involves a car is just going to make the city put a hundred more jersey barriers up, I propose one of these:

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    I think their wording for the western option does suggest something like the UP Express terminal, I assume if this option is chosen it would just be considered an expansion of Union. I’m not sure how having a station near the CN Tower/stadium would lengthen travel time enough to make it...
