It *could* mean that once the 2 months of rail grinding is complete, followed by some further inspection and testing, Metrolinx will formally accept the project and the TTC can start working towards opening. Ever the optimist.

So can anyone confirm that this "Rail Grinding" is one step forward or one step backwards?

Metrolinx refuses to share progress and problems with Eglinton LRT - Toronto | Globalnews.ca
Metrolinx has rejected two access to information requests from Global News seeking progress reports on the long-delayed Eglinton Crosstown LRT.

Is there anyone here who understands sketchy idiot as a second language who can say what safety issues could possibly arise from knowing what is wrong with this line? Or why anyone should accept economic harm as an argument for keeping such fundamental information a secret?

Considering that it's coming after the LIDAR scan of the whole route, which is one of the last requirements of a project like this before hand-over - I would say that it would be a step forward.

This is what P3s are for, limit the information the public has a right to so that there are fewer stories to embarrass the government. Flood the zone with positive stories and if you must release negative information it can be properly spun to limit damage.Metrolinx refuses to share progress and problems with Eglinton LRT - Toronto | Globalnews.ca

I have no doubt that if the TTC were in charge of this project there could be similar challenges with delivery, but we'd at least understand more of what's going on and those to blame would have the threat of being sacked. This project should be a wake up call that the private sector isn't necessarily any better at delivering projects than the public sector, they're just a lot better hiding embarrassing information. That's great for the politicians, but not so great for the rest of us.

Operators aren't going to be picketing construction sites as they aren't yet the locations where they work.
And in case you aren't making some reference to current labour negotiations, having a public agency responsible for project delivery doesn't stop them from hiring private companies to actually execute the work and I totally expect them to do so. As well, plenty of construction workers are unionized and can go on strike affecting privately delivered projects just as easily as public ones.
