To add to that, structural steel is going up at Kennedy. Kennedy is pretty much ahead of almost all of the underground stations.

In a way I am glad. I live in the area and the whole area surrounding Kennedy Station has been a disaster for months. The speed of the station being constructed may be a result of a desire to limit the impact on the local area.

Science center is closer than Kennedy station in terms of being completed and underground. Science center has escalators and tile work being done inside of the station already. Above ground stations are being completed and the bus loop at science center

It's nice to see that they could manage cut and cover stations like this. If only the build Eg West like this, they could be done in 4-5 years instead of 10.

Good video I found detailing progress on the Eglinton Crosstown. From Eglinton to Kennedy.

Though the beginning of the video was on St. Clair between Oakwood and Christie (and the thumbnail is of St. Clair at Vaughan) and the end was on Kennedy at Lawrence, it's still a very good video.

Yeah I know. I only mentioned the segment the person drove on Eglinton.

Shelters are going up at Aga Park and Museum. From The Ismaili Twitter account:

Those "shelters" are a joke.

Complaining won't change anything would it. We have to accept what we have for now. I agree the shelters are lackluster but aren't frequencies on the surface supposed to be at least 5 min? Won't be waiting too long for a train to arrive. Though considering there's no signal priority, I don't know how this will affect waiting times. At least they don't have the T logo yet.

Tell that to the Atlanta Streetcar:

Atlanta Streetcars come every 15 minutes, even during the rush hour. See link.

The Crosstown will have headways similar to the subway, every 5 minutes during the non-rush hours.

Initially the Crosstown wouldn't run as frequent during non-rush, 6-10min is more likely.

Ah yes, Atlanta, the first city that comes to mind when I think of harsh, cold windy winters.

At the very least, shelters can be upgraded in the future and changed. While it would be nice to have them right from the get-go, its not like something like a transit line that is routed through the wrong neighbourhood or something.

The things people complain about the Crosstown, the drab grey LRTs, and the shelters, are all things that could be improved in the future.
