Yeah, as the crow flies. Otherwise it's a two kilometre trek among some of the most hostile pedestrian environments. 
No problem dropping nearly $100 million on an office block but unwilling to invest a cent building a crossing to reach VIA and Tremblay stations. |
Agreed.
I heard that in the last couple of years there was lobbying for the city to build an overpass structure over the VIA tracks but that such a structure would be extremely expensive.
What I don't understand is why the pedestrian tunnel that had been proposed in the past is no longer viable? I though there already was a pedestrian tunnel under at least some of the tracks? Has VIA decided that they don't want anyone other than their passengers to use it?
