These are the last ones I saw for both A and B (This is from when they did the survey)

I’ll be interested to learn more about the materials planned to be used. Will the finished building be a white as shown in the render, or will local taste seek to “warm it up”?

So no more skyscrapers?

Since the region did not receive any acceptable proposals from developers, the towers will be designed and built at a later time.

This is the most boring and derivative thing I've seen proposed yet. I guess the architect really likes Santiago Calatrava?
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - Rainrider22 - 11-19-2020
They will cheap out like always and this will be completely lack lustre
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - ijmorlan - 11-19-2020
Hmmm, apparently we’re back to the more accessible tunnel under the tracks.

Did you prefer the other proposals?
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - jamincan - 11-19-2020
I think it's nice, personally. Certainly better than I expected. The parking lot isn't great, but I imagine that half of the site is probably the part that would be slated for redevelopment with a tower in the future. The multi-use path ramp is an unexpected nice touch.
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - tomh009 - 11-19-2020
Yes, the parking lot/bus bay area would be part of the future redevelopment.
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - ZEBuilder - 11-19-2020
its definitely nicer than I expected but with it all being white it could turn out really bad if poor quality materials are used.
RE: King-Victoria Transit Hub - tomh009 - 11-19-2020
I'm pleased to see bicycle parking "inside" (well, at least covered).
On the other hand, if we're spending this much, surely we could have spent just a bit more to put in a pair of escalators?

I am at a loss for words on how I ended up as one of the dudes in one of the pictures.
Overall, not too bad. I would have expected a larger bus loop though. I also would have expected a little more parking. Other than that, though, definitely metrolink inspired design.
