Not quite the fastest route(as the police would likely close that one off first thing), but one that might surprise authorities while being reasonably quick. Compute for multiple times of day( i.e. morning, noon, dusk, night) since I have no clue yet when we'll be doing this. Combine Ulrich's data on events, and pull up anything about planned construction while I'm at it.
Next, pull up info on anything like campgrounds and wilderness trails outside the city, and see which one is closest to my route out. My idea is that when we do the heist, we get out of the city and go camping, so to speak, until the heat is off. Then we trickle back into the city and get on our ride out.
"Hey boss? I had an idea on what to do after we pull the heist. do any of our fronts give access to camping equipment?"
Most of them involve getting on the highway and taking it to the outskirts, and then another 45 miles or so to a camping ground. Judging from what you can see, morning and dusk would be bad ideas since the traffic is increased during the rush hours in those times. Noon, Night, or some time before people go to work would be best.

"Camping? I hope you also have an idea how to hide our escape vehicle because otherwise you might as well tell the police where we are hiding."
Check what my instincts (intuition) have to say about Michael's planned routes. Hopefully he have some this time.
Take a look on rooftop of the bank with cameye goggles. Go to our rooftop if necessary, but be careful to not be seen. Is there anything that can be used as entrance? Or any obvious security measures? Evaluate viability of making and using zipline from our roof to the bank's.
Internet time: Find companies that list the bank as their customer, ones providing security systems. If there's none, just select one that's most likely to be the one. Check what kind systems they offer and focus on determining if alarm is transffered to police/someone by wires or wirelessly.
Try to find previous records of robberies targeting the bank. How succesfull they were and what methods they used? We don't want to repeat mistakes others made.
They seem alright, but you feel like there might some better methods. Maybe something non-traditional. Hm.
Well, the good news is that you can't see any security measures on the roof itself and you think a zipline might be possible as a method of getting onto it. The bad news is that the bank has a rather ornate roof, all gables and spires. The result of which is that the roof slopes downward at a harsh and dangerous angle. The sort of slope that would be very easy to fall off of.
No one lists the bank as their customer, probably for exactly this reason. Also, I'm not sure what criteria you want to use for selecting the "most likely" one. There's dozens of big security companies and hundreds of small ones. What makes one more likely to be the one they use?
You search through robberies of branches of this bank but they're all very vague. None of them say which branch was robbed or the methods the robbers used. There's security images of a few but they all seem to be trying the old mask and gun routine.
Thaddeus looks at Ulrich:"Ditch the escape vehicle and have another vehicle already in place for us, that could work.", before turning to D'usse: "Hey whatever works is fine by me. We should be able to text on cellphones though, right?"
Huh. Keep watching to see who goes in and out of the maybe mob owned building. Alternate that with watching the bank and seeing how the flow of traffic is, if certain people happen to go in repeatedly throughout the day. Grab a datapad and keep notes.
Speaking to no-one in particular, he says:"So, this may or may not be important, but, that building we know nothing about? It's shielded from me being able to see into it with my cam-eyes. Thats uh, that might be a cause for worry."
You're on the wrong side of the mystery building to see anyone going in or out. You're looking at its back.
You keep an eye on the bank but the only people you see entering and exiting multiple times are bank employees smoking in the alley. They're out there every 2 hours like clock work.
Switch the TV to porn, turn the volume down.
"What? If they're monitoring our electronics I want to throw them off. You guys should leave some porn results on the computers as well. Your search history would blend right in."
See if we have any tools or improvised weapons in our apartment, particularly in the kitchen and broom closet, if we have one.
You switch the tv over to scramblevision and then look around. This place was empty when you came in, remember? No kitchen knives, no mop handles to sharpen, nothing easily improvised as a weapon, unless you want to hit someone with a microwave.
"Hey boss? I had an idea on what to do after we pull the heist. do any of our fronts give access to camping equipment?"
Camping equipment? Yeah, that sounds like the sort of thing our Hunting front could order without issue. What's your plan? I can't imagine we want to stick around long enough to use such equipment, though having some may be a good misdirect.
Speaking to no-one in particular, he says:"So, this may or may not be important, but, that building we know nothing about? It's shielded from me being able to see into it with my cam-eyes. Thats uh, that might be a cause for worry."
That's concerning... We'll need to know more about that building before we move, though we should focus on the bank for now. Especially you, we need to evaluate the bank's night security, and you're our best tool for that. Though... hang on, which building was it?
Check notes to determine if the westell signal was strongest near that building
Ask Steve if it would be possible to get an electrical blueprint of the building.
In game yes, but in terms of actual maps, probably not, simply because the limitations of those maps. I can tell you anything you need to know about it through.
(( Yeah, not expecting you to draw me a full blueprint or anything. 
))
Check (or ask Steve) the electrical blueprint for breaker boxes and communication lines in the entire bank, and any external connections.
Check for any details the blueprint has about the basement level.
Shake my head about the porn, and idly bring up a browser game on one of the laptops.
You don't know, you didn't go over there.
The blueprints show that the bank gets power off the normal municipal grid for most of its stuff, but that it has some sort of independent power for certain things, namely the vault and safety deposit boxes and the servers on the second floor.
You begin cookie clicking.

Steel is easy. The sewer to vault wall is harder though, since you can't find any hard info about the material of the sewer walls or the rock behind them. But, I can tell you that you'd be tunneling through 25, 30 feet of solid bedrock to get to it. Which, even for a small tunnel, is a hell of a lot of rock.
