EDIT. Not sure why the IMG tag didn’t work. Are IMGUR photos not allowed?

Thanks, I just figured that out as you posted. Hmm, I should downsize that so it doesn’t expand across the known universe lol.

Edit: done. Hope that’s still not too big.

Hard to tell from the pic.
Is there a peel away patch on the sign covering the new station?

Good eye, it does look like that could be what they've done.

[VancouverOfTheFuture]

yes there is a peel away patch. if i title my screen at an angle i can just make out a little of the patch. its very well hidden though.

Brentwood's south entrance has been re-opened.

[jollyburger]

North side bridge (?) closed now

he re-opening of the south entrance means we can start the next phase of improvements. The north entrance from Lougheed Highway, near McDonald’s, is closed until the end of summer for upgrades.

While we complete this work, customers can access the station using the re-opened south entrance or the escalator, stairs, and elevators at The Amazing Brentwood mall. There is no change to access for bus services.

I think the bridge is still open, just the vertical access to Lougheed on the north side will be temporarily closed.

The Gilmore station used to have two large trees outside of it, I think they were there last week or maybe two weeks, but they are both now gone, one has been dead for several years so it's good to see it gone.

I guess sitting in the middle of the sidewalk doesn't work. Dawson is looking really rough these days with the ground settlement.
