Sunday in the PATH

PATH is a 30-km network of tunnels under downtown Toronto. Five thousand people work in it, and thousands more eat and shop there. On weekends, though, almost all the businesses are shut, and it's used mainly by people looking for warmth in the winter or air conditioning in the summer.

The PATH, an interesting project.
I used the PATH occasionally when it was (too) hot outside!
But despite the signage, I always had trouble finding my way around the PATH...

I and many others had the same problem, Alex. Toronto is not good at wayfinding. PATH's not a place I remember fondly. The ventilation was poor, the food courts were boring, and if there was ever a fire in some of the sectiond down there, there would be carnage.

Amazing! I knew there was an underground shopping mall in Toronto, but never realised the scale of it..!!

A interesting and beautifully lit image John.

Thanks, Keith. It has two parts, which are not connected. However, the larger part accounts for most of its size.

Quite dystopic, innit?

John FitzGerald ^club has replied to m̌ ḫ ^club

It definitely is, m h. Noon is probably the most dystopic time, with thousands of local workers lining up to eat mediocre food at the food courts. There are food courts with palatable food in Toronto, but unless things have changed since I left Toronto, there are few places offering anything but chain-restaurant food in PATH. The wayfinding is poor, as is the ventilation.
