Another view of the tunnel from Union arrivals to Royal York. The tunnel entrance is where Pilot Coffee is now.

Looks like it's going up today. Photo courtesy my father who lives down the street.

Probably to keep north/southbound pedestrian traffic separated. "Keep right".

Agreed. There will be no trees.

And not only does it look like old style arrival board, but every minute or so the letters/words update like the old style flip boards.

Glazing on the east moat began today. I recall this wasn't expected to happen until next year, as there is still work to be done on the sprinklers, drainage, etc. so perhaps they are testing the fit?

Amano kitchen busy over the lunch hour. Plenty of seating, and a dining room that is open "late" every day with reservations available on OpenTable.

The original press release was “summer”, but I haven’t heard a revised date. A construction worker died on-site in September which probably delayed work for a while.

It reminds me of the old TD Centre shopping concourse signage. Probably not much scope to get creative with the signs, given the low ceiling, vents and sprinklers in the way. At least they each have their own small branded sign for a little break in the monotony.

A couple from the south side of the promenade. Calii Love; The Detox Market; Peace Collective; Naked Beauty Bar. And Pilot Coffee, across the hall:
