All of the steel should be up on both stations by the end of Q1, glass installation and decking to follow.

I don’t get why transed would want to leave the operating agreement as they are finally starting to recoup the costs of construction. And I don’t see why the city would want them removed due to the administrative costs of finding a new operating partner and removing transed.

I’m not sure which city department is responsible for clearing the track crossing but whoever it is is failing miserably. Every capital line crossing is so bumpy that you can’t go more than 5kmh over the tracks without risking blowing a tire or a suspension part. This is particularly troubling...

Are the track switches heated along the VLSE? I’m curious to know whether the mechanical issues today were caused by frozen switches

Better signal timing fixes this. Agreed with Gronk, driving downtown is such a mess in the mornings because drivers ignore the banned left turns from 7-9am. People who want left turns banned all together are just silly and likely never drive anywhere ever. Goodluck achieving that, people will...

2025 LRT end of year update

This is usually what happens when you go with the lowest bid. Guarantee that VLSE wouldn’t have had major delays if they went with dragados/flatiron or the Kewit JV. When you accept the lowest bid, they usually have the most constrained timeline as they try to save money on things like...

Is the pedestrian bridge open yet?

Honestly I don’t see how it’s reasonable tbh. They have ~5% of the OCS wire up right now, no track on 102, no steel up for any of the stops. I think finish building by end of 2027 is reasonable. Commissioning of the trains themselves has already started, which is maybe what he’s referring to there

I feel like tolerance would be better if they did everything normally, as it would be easier for this machine to have small things out of alignment vs setting forms? Never seen something like this used before

But even along parts where there are no intersections it still is just crawling along. Are they maybe working out things still or? It just seems crazy it’s that slow.
