Inbound track with one thick base. No idea why a post is there like it is at other locations. Still got to build the outbound track
You'd think the'd just put in ballasted track through the field section.

Now that the Wicked Witch of the West is dead, maybe we can change the name back?

Now that is quite the meanspirited post. Whether people like her or disagree with her, calling her a wicked witch is really uncalled for and disappointing.

There’s a lot of seniors in Rivera long term care homes that would disagree. I’m sorry, but she was not a good person, especially in her later years.

Given how she was already 101 by the time the LRT line was named after her, I don't see how you think that it was only supposed to be named after her for the rest of her life...

Using Google Maps, where will the LRT station be located at the Port Credit GO Station? Like, where is the platform? Where does the tail track end? Does it stay north-south or do the tracks turn west?

On the renderings available on Metrolinx's website, the terminal station is in a trench (see Port Credit GO Platform View).
On the topic of the physical location of the station, I believe this is the latest track plan/roll plan available for Port Credit (screen shot below for the roll plan) is from 2017. Not sure if it was going to be a surface terminal station in 2017 or if that changed later. I don't see a reference to the change to a station in a trench being referenced in the City staff report after the other changes were made (page here; see report "Hurontario Light Rail Transit: Project Update and Negotiating Project Agreements with Metrolinx June 26, 2019").
This 2017 roll plan file doesn't have cross-sections for Port Credit. Further north, it shows the items that were subsequently removed, like the Square One Loop.
The 2017 roll plan isn't available on the project page so you have to search the document library for it. The City of Mississauga has the full version.
The 2014 Environmental Project Report drawings showed this as a surface stop (see below; I can't find a public link but here's a G Drive link from my files for the full version).
