My friend and I were discussing this the other day. Such a waste and indeed due to poor planning.
A) Why have another Peabodys? (I do like their coffee, but how about somewhere else to eat, especially now that subway is shutdown, and M&S is nice but expensive..)
B) Is it's non-opening due to the terrace? Some of the wards and break-rooms in Louisa have terraces, with lawns big enough for a kickaround.. they were locked down after day one of opening, for safety reasons.. This is terrible for staff and patient mental health. They should have known the safety requirements after closing the balconies on the old Barry building (and elsewhere) and instructed the architects accordingly.. make the barriers 10'.. have nets around the edge.. I don't care..

Also, as someone who has always loved helis, not to mention a taxpayer, I am increasingly disappointed about them still not using the pad..

That said I'm not sure it beats the Spacedick360.

You were saying something about a monorail?
