Quickly scanned the RFP, it says no elevator access, with temp staircases on either end of the pocket track. So cover off the pocket track a la New West Station circa 1986, then I assume some concert type scaffolding with poly roof set up and fabric mesh glazing. Elevator access via Patterson or Royal Oak.
I think the 'peel the band-aid off' method would be better long term, but it would be painful to climb construction stairs for 15 months...
That said, 3 entrances and full mezzanine floor below platform level is just awesome!!
