SO the little "brown house" - top right corner - entrance to the Pedway? EDIT: MIDDLE LEFT corner

No -- further along the line, between RAM and City Hall

Wait, to "get into" the Pedway from Stationlands, residents would have to have a secure and safe entrance that is closer to their homes than to travel half to Churchill to enter. No?

The pedway from Stationlands is accessible all the way along the new residential structure and also from the existing office building following the curve of the pedway that is expressed at grade as well. ...

I’m pretty sure that’s not correct. As far as I know that “arc” at grade is architectural expression only and has no relationship to what’s happening at the parkade/loading ramp accesses, pedestrian movement or structural grid below the plaza level Although it does mirror the LRT alignment below P4. The main loading docks for EPCOR Tower as well as the new residential towers cross under that arc at P1.

I'm talking about the railing and stairs leading to the door; obviously the structure is permanent and as I stated most likely mechanical vent plus fresh air make-up for the pedway. You can see in the rendering that the temporary railing and stairs are gone.

I know this isn’t the right thread to ask this…but… the black with colours building in the background… is that that old sketchy apartment on 101? The lack of windows makes it look like the old remand centre lol

Slightly more colourful, but it sure does have more of a prison vibe. Perhaps decent or ample windows are now only a thing for the upper and middle classes.

While it didn't apply when this one was first built, current code provisions don't readily support decent or ample windows from an architectural/livability perspective.. The "vibe" you describe here is likely to be more and not less common going forward.
