TBM launch shaft construction should be starting soon at Leslie as well.

I saw construction crews digging a giant hole in the street on Eglinton near Yonge today, but I'm not sure if that's related to this project.

Anyone know if TBM Dennis broke through the Caledonia headwall yet? I think that should happen now based on W.K.Lis's picture and the TBM tracker

It was a water main break.
 
(My apologies if this is the wrong place for this question)

It seems that the crosstown, especially through the tunnelled part, will make a huge swath prime for redevelopment. How long until we start seeing developers announce plans for new projects along the route?
 
It's already started, The Hub is at Eglinton and Oakwood and plays up the underground LRT in all it's advertisements. This certainly opens up a large portion of the city that is prime for added development.

I still hope the Oakwood stop would be eliminated but doubtful at this point. Will not be long before complaints from residents angry there is too much development. Although that section of Eglinton is run down, everywhere from Keele to the Allen or Bathurst so if anything, development with street level retail and restaurants should help that area and hopefully become trendy
 
Was there talk of the Oakwood stop being eliminated? It doesn't seem any farther from Eglinton West than Mount Pleasant is from Yonge, and they both have stops. Plus it's more dense
 
The elimination of the Oakwood stop always come up, and people seem to ignore the neighbourhood protested to KEEP the stop. The residents want it, Josh Colle worked to make sure the stop wasn't dropped.
The stop isn't going to impact travel times much, and will be a benefit to the area.

The Oakwood stop would be in the middle of the Little Jamaica commercial strip and be beneficial to many.

How disruptive will the digging up of the intersections be, if not too much it could be less wariness of doing something like that on Queen.

There's no way Oakwood & Eglinton is more dense than Mt Pleasant & Eglinton. Mt Pleasant station has many tall apartment buildings directly around it, Oakwood doesn't.

We should still keep Oakwood station, just wanted to dispute this claim.
