If Stephen Del Duca was in power/still the Minister of Photo-Ops, you can be rest assured he would've been at this site at the crack of dawn.
When it comes to photo-ops, he's the biggest clown of a Canadian politician you'll ever meet.

This really shows how immensely complicated the underpinning and support work is at Eglinton West and Eglinton.
Watching that, i've gained an appreciation to the conditions that engineers and crews have to work with. A 2 millimetre shift is literally all it takes for work to stop and a delay in construtction to occur!

Based upon this amazing completion I am more confident then before that the Crosstown will be operational by September 2022.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious.

Judging by the level of completion at almost every other station on the line... Likely sarcastic, but that's just my read on it.

Lol was being sarcastic! Earliest would be early 2024

That's a LITTLE pessimistic IMO, I'd probably say late 2022- early 2023, but you never know. Though it would be embarrassing if the Crosstown falls behind Finch West...
Some parts of the Crosstown could open earlier if they go for a phased opening though.

It's embarrassing enough REM is ahead of us for a 2021 opening date we don't need the Crosstown falling behind Finch too, I know that only the south section of REM is opening next year but still that pace of construction is incredible.

They were suggesting that a long time ago to cheapen the cost. But they came up with how the elevated guide way would not look "aesthetically pleasing"

I don't think it would be embarrassing for the Eglinton to open later than the Finch LRT, considering the scale of the Eglinton project vs Finch. However it's been since 2009 till now so i get ur point.

If Cedarvale (formerly Eglinton West) Station is completed before Eglinton Station, there would be little reason why the portion between Mt. Dennis and Cedarvale Stations can't open first.

I don't think they ever intended to finish construction prior to opening. Eglinton-Yonge will have ongoing construction for a couple years after it opens.
I could even see the line opening in 2022 but skipping the Yonge stop.

And some people think that Ontario line will be fully operational in 2030. Then again some people vote for Ford's and Trumps so you can't win everyone over to the light side.
