I was checking it out today and the new part of the square looks fabulous. Just needs a little cleanup, the last few benches installed and the fencing taken away. I thought the passerelles were kind of goofy at first but now I can’t wait to plant my ass on ’em and take it all in. Big, big props to all the folks at Cormier. They really saved the best part for last.
I was a fan of the bridges from the first moment I saw them. I can see why it seems superfluous. But they really do a good job to disconnect the exits to the parking garage from the pedestrian sphere.
I had to navigate that corner daily for years. These bridges are so much nicer, as well as offering a unique view that people never got before.

I’m going to go have a look soon – maybe even today.

Had a look today, but the area is still fenced off and work’s still going on, on the steps and the fountain.
