To echo earlier comments, I, too, was disheartened to see the evolution of the design on this one, thinking mostly about the differences in the at-grade experience. Obviously, we're very early days here, but looking at those latest renders illustrating a close-up view of the vehicle access area, I'm worried this'll be all too similar to the mess of a podium that we've now got across the street at the old Four Seasons.
The other thing I liked about the earlier iteration from a grade experience standpoint was the apparent opening up of the colonnade stretches at two points along Avenue; right now, it's rather dark and uninviting and people shuffle through quickly (granted, there's little reason to stop). The renderings made it seem as though there was a plan to brighten that all up and raise the height of the overhang, which could've gone a long way to improving the pedestrian experience.
