Would there be a problem with me reposting them after you delete them?

I understand the risk. Once they're posted anyone can saved or screenshot them. I'm just deleting so MX people can't look through post history and put things together to figure out where to hunt me down, assuming they don't work overtime on weekend.

Goodness, you make them sound like ICE thugs... >.<
 
The renders of the south side entrance really highlights how absurd it is that the station will empty out into the back the Food Building. Imagine getting off the train to see a TFC game or a go to the CNE and be greeted by a receiving dock. Would love to see Exhibition Place adapt to the coming reality that this will become, arguably, their main entrance.

The south side is under the Gardiner Expressway and currently blocked by a chain-link fence. The landscaping will likely happen near the end of construction, so would like to see the plans for the south entrance. Along with any Food Building renovations to use it all year long.
 
Hmm well this is very interesting they havent severely cheapened Exhibition station yet.

I can see one of 3 reasons for this:

1) Metrolinx is still planning on cheapening it in the future, but haven't got around to it yet.

2) Metrolinx is using the renderings to further justify the Ontario Place-Therme Spa redevelopment and are fully intent on cheapening the station, but they are holding on for a long as possible until the controversy "dies down", then they'll begin the cheapening process a la East Harbour.

3) Metrolinx is actually intent on using the station as a way to boost the attendance numbers at the Spa, so they may actually proceed as is.

Take your pick as to which is the reason, but I firmly believe it's one of the 3 things above.

Not if the patrons of Ontario Place-Therme Spa have to safari across an asphalt desert in the heat of summer or a blizzard in winter. Doug Ford's priorities are for the automobile, because he is very automobile-addicted.

Exhibition has always been one of the signature stations of the project, with a separate team dedicated to it in the beginning. So, it is likely to remain as is.
