King-Victoria Transit Hub

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the board with the interior renders, but here's the external (as uploaded) and their conceptual future site. I was strongly assured that the right edge of the building is designed for future extension by whatever office/residential components gets build overtop of the bus loop. They also seemed quite certain there would be a pedestrian tunnel, though they said they were unsure about whether it would be right at Waterloo St or more from the middle of the building.

Like honestly, if they have this content, why wasn't it presented online.

Also, that cartoon doesn't make any sense, the bus loop is gone in the "future" plans, not, hidden, there is no break in the boulevard, is the plan for the bus loop to be gone?

I'll say it again, these seem very rushed, and very amateurish.

Somebody else suggested that the bus loop would move so its entrance was off Duke St.

That being said, I agree, very amateurish. I’ll bet I could go into KCI or even an elementary school and find student projects executed with more care and thought.

Also somebody else mentioned that a bridge over King St. is “out of scope” because it’s outside the property line or something. What a load of drivel. I don’t care if it’s not on the property; it clearly has to be part of this project, conceptually, even if it is staged for later construction. Also, the previous plans led us to believe that the bridge they built over King St. included platform space and that those platforms would connect to the other side of King St. What happened to that?
