I hope Santa delivers a West Highland Creek culvert this morning.

I believe the Nov 15-16 weekend closure was used to relocate utilities off the poles at this intersection. The artist rendering suggests only traffic lights will remain.

ST Line - West Highland Creek It’s the second day in a row A&B Rail workers have been busy doing *something* in the staging area next to the creek during my morning commute. Heavy equipment remains on site. Additional sandbags have been placed along the edge of the creek. A flatbed truck was...

LSE Fourth Track Update Fresh ballast was laid between Greenwood and Coxwell Ave. It was laid on top of the snow, so it was laid recently. Individual track pieces have been laid the length of the area that will eventually be welded together. No progress on the ~2 switches and signal mast west...

The project to bring the second track and platform at Kennedy GO into service was removed from the CPG pipeline document between the September and December 2025 updates. https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/Images/Metrolinx/CPG_Procurement_Opportunities_Pipeline_-_September_2025.pdf...

I thought I originally posted this in the GO Construction thread, so I'm moving my comparison of the CPG file over there. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/go-transit-construction-projects-metrolinx-various.9023/post-2318713

I created a table comparing the September and December 2025 Capital Projects Group pipeline documents. 2025Q3 Status 2025Q4 Status Portfolio Line Project Prequalification RFP Awarded MERX Estimated RFP Date GO Expansion Stouffville Mount Joy Station Improvements, Passing...

Several projects pushed out to late 2026, including the Mount Joy passing track and Stouffville GO turnback signal, or removed all together from the latest Dec 1 CPG file...

It’s a signal that allows trains to return trip south from Stouffville without going all the way to Old Elm. I believe the second platform/passing track at Mount Joy station is required as well. I’ve been looking forward for this contract to be awarded on MERX as it’s been in the CPG Pipeline...

The Mount Joy second platform/passing tracks is labelled as under construction in these slides. I haven’t seen any early works let alone construction. The September CPG list stated this project wasn’t even going to be RFP until the end of this year. I do love this slide deck though.

The memo and slides for Rapid Transit now both state Line 6 will open on Dec 7. That’s the only change I’ve found so far.

I do enjoy these two talking points being presented by the same person at the same board meeting: One board document (the slides for Rapid Transit projects) state Finch LRT will be in service Dec 7. Another board document (the write up memo for Rapid Transit projects) states the opening date...

The work done at West Highland Creek was replacing a storm drain and building a retaining wall around the signal mast.

Travelling northbound on the ST line going over the West Highland Creek as you approach Agincourt GO.

Whatever construction they did over the weekend seemed to have created signal issues this morning at the Finch grade separation and near Danforth GO, which meant I had to catch an earlier train. I was not able to take clear photos on my iPhone, but I have a video. I’ll figure out how to attach...
