    Nice! They got rid of that stupid looking carve out at the corner of the heritage building.

    Agreed! PS - this was my predicted route well before it was announced.

    It's also Winter. The views of the valley from the train will be amazing after the line is built - much nicer than going down the middle of a street. Given the station placement, routing the guideway would not have brought the line closer to any passengers, it would just have the Nimbys...

    On SkyTrain they can also be "special structures" if they are made of a different material (ie. steel box girder instead of concrete box girder). There may also be an arch introduced into the concrete box girder, which makes it look just like a bridge! This is at Braid Station in New...

    Those particular ones will have full height glass enclosures around the balcony edge - one of the first around Metro Vancouver. In Toronto, the much maligned Concord Canada House has radiant ceiling heaters on its balconies.

    Scotiabank is disappointing for the corner given limited banking hours. Is there a TD nearby? Maybe they'll take the flagship space at The One? Then you'll have banks on all 4 corners.

    Nice. Good to see it lines up with the curved column 6 floors above.

    Weird to me - that seems so off topic for a public consultation meeting... PS - no rendering of Crossing #2? I assume it'll also be a plain box girder style? There'll be some magnificant views over that whole section of guideway.

    The bridge looks great. You'll already have the caternary poles and wires making it look messy, so the simpler the bridge the better. The double column piers are quite common, it seems. The Canada Line bridges in Vancouver are like that...

    Toronto Toronto | The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    The colour palette of The One was probably intended to coordinate with 2 Bloor West.

    So staggered brick here too. Maybe one tower has the stagger, the other doesn't.

    Oh man, night and day on the glass in the left and right phases.

    So the gray panels (are they wraps?) are actually worse that having a Shoppers Drug Mart's wraps (?).:rolleyes:

    Simons

    Where did you read that? Word over here is that for Vancouver's Pacific Centre, Simons would take levels 2 and 3 and Zara and Nike would take Level 1. Cineplex is already building a RecRoom a block south on Granville St.
