Makes you wonder how many people will this bridge really serve. From what I can tell it will make it easier for people who live in one single condo building to get to the CIBC office complex and then on to Union Station and beyond. Is there some other public utility for this? Seems like an odd expense for so little gain. Am I missing something? Do all the CIBC executives live in the BackStage building? Is BackStage paying for it?

Usage will depend on ease of access. If one has to climb stairs on east side of Yonge (inside Backstage) and can use an elevator or escalator on the west side (inside CIBC building), I bet usage is low - at least until the PATH goes further east through the Green P.

What about Monarch Butterflies. I can remember being 1/2 way up ( more or less) one of the towers, maybe CIBC, and watching with some astonishment, the clouds of Monarch Butterflies moving past the windows. It was their migration season but I had never thought they would be at such a height.

We saw them a few times from our balcony on the 16th floor. I was surprised they were that high too.

True. Another reason for this connection is the corridor roughed in through Backstage that will eventually go to the Green P parking lot. That parking facility is huge and great place to park if going to Scotiabank Arena.

Is there actually a corridor that can (could) bring you right into the Green P.??? This has been discussed here before and nobody seemed to know if it actually existed or was simply 'a good idea"!
 
I thought it ran behind the pool on the south side. Is the roof level 5? So the PATH could be on level 4 but more likely level 2 as per the retail lease drawing. I imagine Backstage is using this “long tunnel” as storage for the next 20? years and will be dumbfounded when they have to give it up. Now where do we store all our Sh#t?
Would Backstage rent the PATH out? Or
Does Backstage pay for the PATH and/or operating costs?

I’m not sure how it would connect to the Green P in the “future”. Would pedestrians walk through the garage or would this be a new structure on the south side of the Green P. We probably discuss this before. It probably won’t happen for 20 years when the next green P lot renovation/demolition. The current Green P west half renovation is almost done.

Yes, there is a roughed in corridor on the P2 level of Backstage that runs the entire length of the building. I drive by it everyday 😉
