This thread was started in 2016, but the major podium renovations to the interior and exterior didn't begin until 2023. I believe the other floors were worked on during the interim.

The overall renovation including recladding of the tower and that work started on-site in August of 2016.

I've been complaining about that LRT station for years now but I get nothing but crickets.
Maybe this should be an election issue.

I believe we had funding set aside for LRT entrance refreshes plus jasper ave renewal hits some of these maybe?I've been complaining about that LRT station for years now but I get nothing but crickets.
100% should be a priority to upgrade asap imo.

I think we need to get rid of these random station accesses and just consolidate them all into one big street-level entrance at each station with good lighting and sightlines. Easier for cops to patrol and enforce fares, and better accessibility by having wider entrances with nearby elevators.

I don’t like all of Foster and Partners work but I really like some of their work…

I like this LRT station far better than that Soviet-era bunker at Jasper Ave and Rice Howard Way. It should be just a little bit smaller though.

The elimination of the retail space and reconfiguration to allow a better glass elevator would be wonderful for that LRT entrance.

I'd kill for a Burrard style station entrance here (or anywhere else on Jasper)

Cool - that's got me feeling nostalgia for my childhood slinky. Once it got tangled though, it was never the same again...

The renovations appear to be completed except for the interior offices in the podium.
Oh yeah, and now that the building has been renamed to "Rice Howard Place", ETS needs to update their signs.
