There is one like that in Moscow (at least) I used to ride that was 3 minutes if you stand still. Of course it was also a bomb shelter.

A factor with elevators is the speed and type. Are they fast counterweighted hares or hydraulic tortoises?

Inspired by (or shamelessly copying) kotsy , I went out to shoot some holes in the ground.

First at Queen & Spadina...




And then also at King & Parliament...

Great images! Glad that the inspiration is reciprocal. 😊

If the valuations presented by the owners ran to the tune of over $100M, I can see why ML took the matter to a tribunal.

We will never know if ML made an offer to settle - which likely would have been higher than their position in court - nor will we know whether they got a ruling that was better than what they offered, or what they predicted.

Clearly, this was a hardball negotiation.

I wonder what MPAC’s assessment file says for these sites, and what the owners said during any recent assessment appeals.

This would add a ton of cost. I would rather take an extra escalator or two and put the saved money to use on other transit projects.

Perhaps, but since the saved money goes into general government coffers it's way more likely to be spent on a tunnel under the 401 or a bribe taxpayer refund next election.
 
Today from my bike ride through the valley, views of the WDCB works by the (former) OSC. Construction here is on the west side of the now diverted bike path. Shots are from North to South.

many memories from that plaza. Towers on the lower level with Dominion above, then years of a great Knob Hill farms to the last tenant, No frills. The strange shopping experience that was Consumers Distributing. and who could forget seeing Cadet Leslie Barbara being tipped over in the fastfoto hut in the parking lot during Police Academy 1.
