Finally after a few attempts to shoot the station, finally did today. Had my first test ride on the elevator not impress with speed.. With all the footing in place along with steel, one thing jump out for me and was expecting it based on what I was see last year.
Unless TTC removes the two north bays as well haft of the current loop, how does TTC expect buses a loop around the new terminal as there isn't room to do it today. Then there is the issue of buses departing the terminal to go south.. Still got a lot of concrete work to do for the platform let along the driveway. With rebar around the columns, what is TTC end game for those columns?? Flashing should be going up in May or June but the terminal will not be ready this year at this time.

No way any type of bus can turn here at this time

The exterior (bus) circulation plan is thus:
That certainly seems to imply a looping action at the north end.
I am not making assertions as to the viability of same.

That maybe the plan but you cannot get to the west side today until the current loop is partly or all remove to do it. Same will have to happen to build the new ramp and access to/from Warden. Where does TTC put the buses to build the south end as note??

Likely in a very temporary on street loop or in the north lot.

It will be a long walk from where the temporary bus bays are move to, adding extra travel time for riders until that south end is done. As I noted, part of the south loop can be remove to allow building part of the driveway to allow buses to loop the new terminal as well an out ramp to Warden while the full south end is built after all the buses are moved to the new terminal.

At some point they will need to close that loop to make way for the final bus bay construction and PPUDO works.
The PPUDO would need to be segregated from passenger traffic and temporarily closed once the bus-bays are demolished to avoid any issues. My guess is that when they go to open the PPUDO via St Clair they will close or modify the temporary bus bays.
Right now, when you exit out to the buses, you are essentially walking into what will be a vehicular roadway in the future.
