makes sense.

ToInview does have bike lane installations listed across the entirety of eglinton for 2023, but nothing else.

Given the length of the road, I suspect the 15 million will be a simple resurfacing and cycle lane installation, with the full, higher quality rebuild outlined in Eglinton Connects coming later.

No sense in paving the entire roadway if either one section is still under construction or they discover underground utility problems (leaking water-mains for example) and have to dig it up again. Once they make sure there are no more problems, will they repave everything at once, in the spring or summer.

That's when they have to dig it up to connect the utilities to a new building.
 
I couldn't find anything recent on this here or the project website: have the operating hours been confirmed yet? Is the whole line above and below ground to be 24 hours a day, and if it isn't 24 hours a day, are all or almost all of the connecting north-south bus routes going to have their service time extended to meet the "last train"? I am assuming this should be decided at this point, though I wouldn't be surprised if they are waiting until they do a preliminary 2023 operating budget.

The proposed bus routes were recently released for the opening of the crosstown (there should be posts in this thread) including a blue night bus route for Eglinton.

That is what prompted me ask the question about whether north-south bus routes that intersect the line will operate to meet the last train. I haven't seen any talk of specific late night operating hours of the line anywhere. Are those decisions final, or nearly final now; or are all of the operating hours still totally open for discussion and changes? Will the operating hours of connecting bus routes be changed to match the closing of train operations (regardless of some undefined overnight bus service) or will we have trains in the underground section drop people off at say 1:00 a.m. to a station which has no connecting buses in active service at that time?

I suspect that there won't be any changes to the service hours of the crossing routes, and there likely won't even be substantial headway adjustments - at least at the start.

I'm not sure why you're so concerned about the operating hours of the routes - the hours that each route operates is dictated by its own traffic flows, not the flows of the subway. That's why there are some routes that end before the subway does, and others that end well after the last subway train has rolled through that station.

You forgot the Blue Night services.

From link. Maybe the 352 Lawrence West should be extended from Sunnybrook Hospital to the Leaside Station on Eglinton & Bayview?

Note that Line 1's Eglinton Station is still in operation and being used, under all that construction above them. Line 5's trains are also passing underneath, in testing mode. Likely the connections between Line 1 and Line 5 at Eglinton Station are being used by the construction workers to carry supplies and themselves.

In 20 years we’re going to shut down the eastern half of the line for 5 years to properly grade separate the line and spend another 10 billion dollars to do so.

Let’s spend all this money to build a subway under the central East west avenue across the city, except we’re going to gimp it by using medium not high capacity vehicles and not grade separating it.

call me ignorant, but how does the map indicate its a streetcar?

In 20 years, Toronto will convert its downtown streets into "transit malls". Not just streetcar transit malls, but bus transit malls. Expect deliveries during certain times.
