My two cents...
I have to say that the walkway really doesn't bother me. If it was in the heart of the exchange with heritage buildings all around then I could agree. There is really nothing around this and it is going from an ultra modern looking building to a faux heritage building. There is absolutely nothing west down the street but some houses a few hundred yards away. I feel that there is no real exchange streetscape to ruin here. If it helps RRC build connectivity between their buildings then so be it. I wouldn't approve somewhere like King & McDermot.
