Love that the renovations were planned for spring 2024 since there was no shot the Leafs were playing into June. Common project management W.

...it's not like they had 57 years of projecting for that in the precedent. Just saying.

Renovations have officially started.
www.sportsnet.ca
Renovations begin on Toronto's Scotiabank Arena, home of the Maple Leafs and Raptors
Construction could not begin until the NHL's Maple Leafs and NBA's Raptors, the venue's primary occupants, had finished their seasons.
We've got a front page story up now too, where we asked them about PATH improvements...
…and it seems that they're still finding it difficult to make a magnanimous gesture towards PATH users.
Meanwhile, we have now added a database file, linked at the top of this page, where you'll find the entire set of 16 renderings that go with the Reimagination project. Here's one of the main concourse:

That PATH link is a shit show for anyone with disabilities, or the many hotel and condo residents with suitcases. It screams the obvious need for renovation to everyone... except MLSE it seems...

I like that in Canada and in Toronto particularly that we renovate our stadiums and arenas instead of abandoning them for a new arena in the suburbs.
and rinse and repeat every 20 years.

Great you flagged the pathetic state of the PATH through SBA, they REALLY should be shamed into improving it!
From Front page piece:
"UrbanToronto seized the opportunity to inquire with Eaves about the ongoing challenges and plans for the PATH network that runs through Scotiabank Arena. The network, a crucial artery for pedestrian flow in Downtown Toronto, runs through the arena. There are notable concerns with accessibility and aesthetics of the southern PATH link, with steep stairs not compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
Eaves acknowledged the need for improvements. "The PATH network was patched together, including the section that goes along this arena," he explained. "There is an opportunity to go and look at the sections of the PATH that surround our arena and figure out if we can improve accessibility, and uplift those spaces. It’s an opportunity, but not something we’ve advanced quite yet.”"
