I still can't believe there's a subway on Eglinton (I say this every TBM update)

Yes, two parallel tunnels between Black Creek and Bathurst (though with a hiatus at Eglinton West station)!

Doesn't look bad. Only thing is I hope they can have some heated areas for the above ground stops knowing how cold this city becomes. If they don't its a huge misstep.

What do you mean by "heated area". You can see in the video that all that's there is a back wall and a roof, with no side walls.

Cool, these flythroughs have gotten real sharp over the years. Looks like a video game. GTA 6: the Six. Or GTA: GTA.

It wouldn't seem that hard given the cost of these platforms...I read something that the aboveground stops will cost $3-5 million each.
Chicago has a nice system where a heater turns on when you push a button. That could help a lot here.

Like with the new VIVA stations. I hope they don't go cheap.

But you can see in the video that they did go cheap. It's done and dusted.

Which is also what was shown in the EA, and all the PICs.

Wonder why Metrolinx would put them on the VIVA Lines but not on their signature LRT lines. These look like glorified bus stops.

No station screen doors on the platform?

Looks pretty good.

Seems like a really long walk from platform to bus terminal at the Don Mills stop

The usual complaints about construction of ANY kind. See link from CITY-TV with a video on how the Eglinton crosstown construction keeping residents awake at night.

Noise and vibrations from tunnelling are driving residents batty.

The tunneling will pass them by in a few days, then they can continue with other new complaints.

good thing were building underground where there are no disruptions to traffic and businesses stay in business! I live in the area and that lady I guess is technically my neighbour. It is a challenge to love ones NIMBY as oneself.
