So we got the City making the decisions on the design change and paying and Metrolinx executing- the best of both worlds

Metrolinx is the best at working in other people's communities and with other people's money. Why in all my years, I've never seen better work from the public sector.

Don't anyone hold you proverbial or literal breath.......but there is some sign of movement here. Mx has an RFQ out to pre-qualify bidders for construction of the Rail Path.
If they move at their usual molasses pace, the full tender could go out mid-spring, close early summer, be awarded just in time for snowfall '27....wasting an entire construction season. Of course, we will hope for unusual haste on their part.....and that Sanscon doesn't bid. LOL

Which ones? They were horrible on College Street.
See this post:
Cycling: West Toronto Railpath (City of Toronto, Phase II Proposed)
Got a notice that my request was marked as closed but I walked by today and the path is completely flooded with about a foot of water, so I will file a new request (or reopen the old one?) Maybe it's just melted from the sides of the path but they should put in some bumper reinforcements on...

I haven't had a look at one and three. Church/King took longer than it needed to.....crews were undersized.
I didn't look over any of the three for deficiencies but that's a been a big problem with Sanscon. If you think its ok to do business with them, fine, please hire them....but keep them away from anything I care about.
I wouldn't put them in charge of making a ham and cheese sandwich.

I wouldnt even hire Sanscon to open the faucet from my kitchen sink, let alone make a sandwich.
Nor should anyone else.

This area of flooding is relatively new. In the last 5 years. Or since Mx started changing the configuration for a 4th rail. Water is a really big design aspect for rail and I am surprised that this has not been noted by Parks and flagged to MX. Its a sign that something is not working the way it should.Got a notice that my request was marked as closed but I walked by today and the path is completely flooded with about a foot of water, so I will file a new request (or reopen the old one?) Maybe it's just melted from the sides of the path but they should put in some bumper reinforcements on either side in that case. Don't recall this happening in past winters...

Also, I saw actual workers on the small bridge section on Dupont/Annette laying down new surface with a road roller, maybe that means it's about to reopen!
