Originally posted by FunkyCrew thanks Captain Obvious, my point was that there is NO construction site at Union, not on a platform, not upstairs
the only thing that's new there are advert. posters that they stick on the walls every week
hence the "its not done yet"
Its a subway station, the construction site is underground.

Frankly, it's nice to see the TTC abandon the practice of slapping band-aids on everything.
it more or less is like slapping a band aid on it. if it was going to be done properly, they would've taken the time to do the mezzanine level as well.
now what you have is a mismatch between the upper level and the platform.
not to mention the stupid new signs that they put up which aren't even the same standard that they've been using since the sheppard line opened.
the other thing is that they will be making a 2nd entrance to the station on the south side where the "jail" is. they will also install an elevator to make it accessible. so why not actually do that first and then pretty it up when all the construction will be done?
it's unfortunate that we're going to be losing a lot of these stations and getting these faux designs instead.

I think it looks great.
lol @ all the retards complaining about $5 million dollars of tax payers money going to this project. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE POSTING, holy gr. 5.
Yes it looks nice but you know what ....... There are other issues that need 5 million or more dollars.....Like subway line expansion beyond kipling to somewhere in mississauga or surrounding areas,or even having mississauga or brampton area buses to come more frequently just like any TTC buses.....Average wait time for sauga or brampton buses could vary from 45-60 minutes between buses.
