Yeah, I can't help but laugh at an article worrying about prototype vehicles for a line that is opening in 2021, when ION needs the exact same vehicle prototyped, and ready for passengers... well... ASAP. Early 2018, now.

Also, not even a mention of ION? Really?
...Well I dont see why we shouldnt be worried about the Eglinton line. The way Bombardier has been doing things, it's very likely that the Eglinton line can also be delayed due to their incompetence
 
where does the rent go for those commercial ground floor spaces? Is it to condo board?
I'm not 100% sure.

If they're commercial condo units, then they're sold just like the residential units, and presumably come with condo fees of some sort (though likely not entirely the same as residential, depending on the arrangement and access to the amenities, shared spaces, etc).

I'm not sure if it exists, though I'm sure it does, but in other buildings, perhaps the developer maintains ownership of commercial spaces, as they would in a purely commercial/office building? I don't really know.
 
It's one of 2 new bus terminals on the line. (Mount Dennis)

(though *someday* it could be tri-modal :))

I'm not convinced "multi-modal" is in reference to the bus terminal. It's usually in reference to two rapid transit lines intersecting. I could be wrong, but I'm 95% sure on this one, it's a reference to a Don Mills LRT or a Relief Line.
 
Crosstown East will be open within 4 years of Council approval. So glad City Planning's sorted out that earlier ridiculously long timeline.
 
Slides from last night's Scarborough transit meeting are up. Includes an update to Crosstown East: http://scarboroughsubwayextension.ca/project-materials.html

Notably, projected peak hour ridership of Crosstown East is about 5,300 pphpd. 2,000 of these riders would continue riding westbound past Kennedy. Daily ridership would be 43,400 per day.

At this stage, we can say that the Don Mills LRT is dead unless it has zombie-like qualities. It's the relief subway heavy rail line. Metrolinx and city are coming together on this. The province's design monies are evidence of a consensus forming (formed.)
 
Actually, the question was about shovel's being in the ground. So, still a long time I presume.

Crosstown east and west have complete EAs (which city planning does acknowledge need to be amended) and do not require tunneling. If everyone gets their act together, in the next 18 months, the extensions can open at the same time as the first phase. That is in the city's mind both at the civil service/planning level and the political level as well. Citizens need to push the pols.
