I have mixed feelings on Brutalism... I know there are good examples, like the Montreal Metro, but all too often I think it's spoiled by the massively car-centric era in which it was popularized—add to that it's depiction in media post-Clockwork Orange, and it's really become the defacto style of Fascist Parking Garages!

Brutalism has little to nothing to do with fascist regimes. It was embraced by socialism, beginning with UK socialists in the 1950's and so on. Fascist regimes concentrated on rationalism and some revival of Roman classical styles.

Made a trip to the Dundas Transfer station today, and stopped by. Very much still beneath grade, deeper than I expected, this picture is looking east from Traymore:

Travelling along Main Street it's hard to overstate how huge this project looks to be. It takes a massive amount of Main St frontage and the overhead sidewalk cover makes this looks absolutely massive. Still trying to get the up to date architectural plans from city staff. Wish there was a central page with all that info and documents like every other city in the area...

Pretty sure the west side (not in view) is basically at grade level, no?

It is really hard to tell. It appears to me that the west side is at grade, but no wall forms have been placed yet.
