Though it is not inside Union Station, it seems appropriate to note here that the City is having an EA on the improvements they hope to do on Front Street immediately in front of the station.
I got this email:
I am contacting you concerning a study of potential changes to Front Street West at Union Station.
The City of Toronto is hosting the first Public Information Centre (PIC) event for this project:
Date: Monday, July 5, 2010
Time: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Location: Union Station, Main Floor, West Side (towards the Skywalk)
At this event you can see draft drawings of a new design for Front Street at Union Station (known as a “Preliminary Preferred Alternative” within the Environmental Assessment study process).
Changes being considered for Front Street at Union Station include:
* designing a grand civic plaza
* creating a mid-block pedestrian crossing
* improving the intersections and widening sidewalks
* considering changes to traffic lanes and the layout of taxi stands and pick-up/drop-off areas
We invite you and other members of your organization to attend the July 5 PIC where you can view information panels, speak with members of the project team and provide your input in to the study.
