The focus for stage two is the exterior of the station with landscaping of the Grey Street plaza and installation of new signage, paving, seating, security cameras and other amenities. Customers will also notice the ongoing restoration of the station’s masonry, both on the platforms and the exterior of the building. This delicate and painstaking work will continue on site for several months after the landscaping is complete. The station has clear access via the entry directly in front of the station building, however for your safety please be alert to any changed conditions during works.
