It's amazing the difference one tree can make.

After seeing the video done by Disney showing the french style gardens and fountains around the hub, I feel pretty certain they will but a nicer gate system in for the bypass... They want to relieve the congestion...maybe for a new show one day... Hopefully they will make it nice enough as an evac route that is not heavily used... I am more concerned about them doing a good job on new attractions...

The arches in Martin's photo were also removed, adding to the visibility of the Main Street buildings above the gate.
Here's hoping they at least come up with some kind of bolt-on fiberglass backing for the buildings, at least in that end section.

Thanks for this. The tree is nice, and certianly helps, but it does not justify the awful lack of themeing like some have said. It was still bad without the tree.

Just like all the other changes being made regarding the hub, let's wait for the finished product before piling on.

Oh yes I totally agree with you there. This particular thing though is something that I am irrationally irked about. I just don't like seeing showbuildings. The past two years, when I went, I saw this and was slightly put off by it both times, so its not something new. But I really hope that the issue is resolved with the bypass work. I have a feeling they'll do something!

Kind of reminds me of DCA's temporary entrance/exit path behind Soarin' when BVS construction went into full force.

Any word at all on when all of this will be done?

In many places there will still be backstage areas between the new walkway and the Main Street buildings. Gates from the walkway will give access to these areas as well as to the parking lot to the east. All stairways down to the Utilidor level are within the Main Street buildings.
Presumably stores have enough stock in their back rooms to sustain them during the times when the bypass walkway would be open.

It's not unknown for CMs to cross the DLP arcades during opening pushing stock carts. Themed of course.

Perhaps the reinforced concrete is meant for the increased stress that the 2014 WDW tourist is going to put on it....

The plans wouldn't randomly add emergency vehicle access to an area that was already accessible. This is being done with something else in mind. This is unique. I know what is on the plans, and while what you say is true, there is no reason to dismiss this isn't also a potential parade route. Also, just an FYI, the plans also identify the current parade route as an emergency vehicle access route as well. It means nothing except when complete they'll have an additional route.

If they did, it wasn't on any plan that I've seen.

i think they mean laying rebar and remesh, which is standard building construction anywhere, what we are referring to is HD reinforcement to carry high load pressures(thickening pad, higher PSI concrete, HD rebar mats)
