April 25 & 23
Long with more photos up on my site.
Was planning on looking at Topflight on Sat but pushed it to Monday. Did a test run on a new camera around Sq one and then doing Topflight, but after 80 shots the camera battery was dead with no spare with me that kill Topflight Visit. Since I have wheels for this coming week, took the whole corridor in in between other things I must do.
Traffic was light doing the detour for Topflight and closed off the area where I was planning on parking that allow to look at Brampton before doing Topflight. Most of the northbound curd has been poured and the road graded from 403 to Ray Lawson. Utility work taking place north of Ray Lawson with part of it stake for curb work and up to Courtly Park. Curb poured almost to Steeles.
Topflight work is not as bad as I was told, and that first phase could be done early next week. They are jack hammer the concrete between the rails as will on the side of it to remove the existing trackwork and not touching the switches. This been the case, it could be completed before July depending if the new materials are on hand as well been order. The concrete for part of the trackwork north of Topflight has been removed on both sides of the rails with some concrete still encasing the rails.
Crews doing various things along the corridor with A lot of gap replacement work taking place as well saw cutting the areas where the guideway curb must be replaced along with a few large areas of the road according to the markings.
This past week has seen traffic been backup on Hurontario south of Dundas and found out why when I came to a stand still at the Queensway for over 5 minutes. Since the North Service Rd is close at the intersection for utility work, all eastbound traffic is using Sherobee with police directing traffic as well hydro is installing new poles to replace the existing one causing traffic to stop as they lift the poles with the crane off the truck and into position. It will be interesting to see where they place the 4 poles for the ones in the southbound lane.
Access to the QEW westbound is back to its normal way as the northbound traffic has to shift around the utility in the northbound lanes.
Guideway work taking place from Englewood to the Mary fix Creek area where the guideway will move from the westside to the centre of the road. Guideway Curbs poured from Englewood to the push box with some grading taking place. All the fencing has been removed for the area along Hurontario.
Port Credit Station steel framing wrap with orange material and no idea why.
It looks like they will be rebuilding the east sidewalk with cycles and pedestrians using a northbound lane. Same thing is happening for the westside walk between Floradale and Paisley.
There been a vacant lot to the east of CIBC for donkey ages and was being used as a storage area. I Noticed a concrete pour underway as I head to pickup the car and had a look later in the day on y way hone. I thought this site as well the CIBC site would make a good development site in time, but it looks like it going to be a major substation unlike the other ones all ready built by the looks of it.
Almost the haft of it up today compared to the 23rd.
