I'm really hoping it'll be similar to Vancouver City Centre Station, with the direct access to Pacific Centre.
But it is just a hope.

I'm also curious about the other station building integrations, I know it was mentioned they would integrate but I wonder how that works with existing buildings... Maybe they end up doing sidewalk entrances as VE?

Looks like the mock up is now in Calgary...

Only exterior renders. There has been some revisions to the exterior that you can spot in the video as well as this new graphic on the city's website

They look just like the ones in Ottawa. Hopefully they won't get stuck in the snow like the Ottawa LRVs. These would be made by Siemens correct?

Haha I would love to see that. Would also help prevent deaths of idiot jaywalkers on the Centre Street portion.

Interior layout looks a lot like Toronto’s and Edmonton’s Flexity LRVs. When there’s a lot of people, it can be a little awkward to navigate around the area where the bogies are. Passengers in Toronto also don’t seem very keen on the quad seating.
