Woah woah woah, an elevated pedestrian walkway?? Was this part of the original plan because this is a welcome surprise if it wasn’t

 

[kcantor]

It looks like it’s intended to link the second floor of EPCOR Tower with the underground pedway stair without having to use the plaza or parkade/loading dock levels on the north side of the CN Tower parkade. Hard to tell whether it’s intended to be permanent or interim…

 

[Clearshades]

I wouldn't complain if CN's north elevation parkade podium gets lovely vine plants to cover that entire wall. It would give an illusion of an oasis and better aesthetics.

^ Or at least get one of those funky, bright coloured murals on it. Both would be cool, too.

I like it in theory, the way they've run it right up along the side of the CN tower podium with nothing else going on I think actually highlights the podium.

I don't know much about the inside of the CN tower, but the podium is all parking, right? Would it be viable to connect the CN tower to the walkway on the 2nd floor? Add an entrance on the backside up there so it's not just a walkway wandering past a featureless wall.

Pushing the “Switch”

Awkwardly, though, theswitch.com that's on one of the billboard mockups is not owned by them for the project. I'm sure the production prints won't have that, but...

Qualico can not just build as they please. CN is not owned by Qualico.

Qualico can not just build as they please. CN is not owned by Qualico.

And here I thought Qualico had supreme authority over all who approach their domain.

That could change in a heartbeat.

there are - or at least there were - reciprocal access agreements through the cn tower main floor and lower level lobby areas although the lower level space may have been "reclaimed" for tenant use. there were some interesting reciprocal access agreements contemplated between the cn tower, station lands, ram and the galleria at various levels for pedestrians as well as vehicles but nothing materialized from those conceptual discussions.

CN didn't approach Qualico's domain. It is the other way around as CN is the grand dame in that neighborhood

Ground Floor has CRU's (daycare, convenience store, small eatery), but there is also a north facing entrance at the back there that opens into this proposed park. Currently used as a pathway to a ground floor entrance to EPCOR Tower, but has been closed for the last couple months due to a flood.

Any new pics on this one? Is that black "faux Chateau" topper around the perimeter up yet?
