Glad Union Station is being left alone. I wouldn't be opposed to an addition on the station itself, but it would need to be something that's done well. Not the crap we've been seeing so far.

As for the tower... wow is it uninspiring. Hopefully there are refinements to the design coming. And when I say refinements, I mean a damn near total redesign please, lol.

I'm surprised they aren't shooting for a taller tower. Its located immediately adjacent to the busiest commuter rail station outside of New York City, and a few blocks from a half dozen transit lines as well.

Looks like they won't be building over the Union Station Transit Center either, as was the plan in earlier designs.
