Were they planning on painting them like pencils? That would have been cool. I'm all for daring design choices, even if it doesn't turn out perfect I appreciate the direction.

York-Bremner PATH update
Work will begin this fall in preparation for the construction of an underground PATH connectionbeneath York Street just south of Bremner Boulevard. This first stage of work involves investigation of the utilities underneath York Street before detailed construction plans can be developed. This may involve a limited amount of excavation in the late evening and overnight hours to avoid conflicts with rush hours and special events at local attractions, but the City will work to keep this disruption to a minimum.

This PATH connection was secured as part of the development approval for the "Ice" towers and, when completed, will provide a continuous indoor route from Lower Simcoe Street and Lake Shore Boulevard to Union Station. The timing of construction of the PATH connection will depend on what is found underneath York Street during this first stage of work, as well as coordination with other major construction projects in downtown Toronto.​
 
Yesterday York street was partially blocked to allow workers to cut the asphalt exactly where the PATH tunnel is supposed to be. Don't know if this is some kind of repair or they are starting construction of the tunnel.
 
They are not starting construction yet—that's still many months off—they are getting a look at just what is under York Street to determine exactly what it's going to take to build the tunnel.
