Or the LCBO.

Can you imagine that much booze going up in flames?

There's a pot shop near the LCBO as well no? Dude, the buildings on fire, heheheheheh.

Thanks to @Willybru21 's explanations, I've added labels and directions. This space is the lobby/arrival space when coming from Union Plaza from the left.

And I've identified where in the floor plan this rendering is located:

A remaining question: Will the existing Scotiabank Arena atrium become one with the new South Concourse, or will it still be separated by a wall? If it's one wide concourse or if there is an escalator within the South Concourse that leads to the bridge over Bay Street, that'll solve the difficulty in getting to the bus station which is circuitous and difficult to explain to tourists or other lost souls.

Great work!

What if we borrowed from the idea below to have cute little blue jays, raccoons, squirrels, Canada geese, moose, etc guard our important spots? (Isesaki station, north side)

That would be too easy. The city has to go through a decade-long procurement process to buy some prefabricated concrete blocks.

Not that is even the issue because as you can see here, there was never any real interest in preventing vehicle incursion into the plaza in front of Union, just maintaining the appearance of security. We've endured these jersey barriers because of some liability lawyers.

Found something all too familiar to us outside the Rogers Centre yesterday:

They're called "welcome barriers".

"Welcome Barrier" is my favourite new oxymoron

So hideous omg. If they were gonna do an ugly block, at least make it a planter and bring some vegetation to the street.

If they were clad in some kind of dark stone, I don’t think they’d look as bad.

Perhaps the city need to look at themselves for expiration:

I would love to see each of those "leads" getting hauled out and explain how this exercise exemplified the goals of that document.

The person on the left is wearing a mourning coat and trudging with downcast eyes at the banality of it all... Will these be effective? Maybe. Could they have done better? I'm sure they could have!
