Will they distribute treasure hunt maps to Eglinton Station users when it opens? "X" marks the train platform or exit you want?Some new construction update photos. That ramp is likely the bit north of Eglinton connecting to the Rio-Can building

Background from the Crosstown website:
Eglinton Station: Rodney LaTourelle with Louise Witthöft
Born in 1965, Canadian artist Rodney LaTourelle is known for large-scale colour installations, public artworks and architectural interventions explore the interplay of colour and physical space in an immersive viewing experience. Recent solo exhibitions include Optica (Montreal), Mendel Art Gallery (Saskatoon) and Diaz Contemporary (Toronto). His works have been collected by The National Gallery of Canada and the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Luxembourg).
Light from Within, the artwork for Eglinton station, is inspired by the prismatic and reflective qualities of minerals, crystals and gemstones, emphasizing the subterranean nature of rapid transit and the depth of this station. The artwork is a large panel made of dichroic and mirrored glass tiles that are lit from front and back, suspended in a double-height space. This artwork creates a reflective backdrop and brings light deep into the station, offering a wondrous and unexpected element for passengers.
