anyone know the reason why theres no news on demolition regarding the 25 homes they were to acquire along that stretch of pape?
(https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...e-in-riverdale-for-ontario-line-construction/)

the homes were said to be vacated by november 2025, and with the rest of the block at pape and sammon thats said to start going as soon as late april, im surprised to see nothing on demolishing that row of houses yet, except for one of the detached garages, which is what the text is about in the picture below

its very possible that it will happen soon and they haven't made anything public yet, but maybe there's something i missed that could be shared

thanks

The homes are not going to be demolished, unless something happens during the tunnel boring that weakens their structural integrity, since it's happening relatively close to the surface directly below those homes.

The block at Pape and Sammon is being demolished for constructing an auxiliary building. There is no such plan for the houses on Pape south of Riverdale.

thanks for the clarification. i was quick to assume that the acquisition was permanent, and it stuck that way ever since i read the article

No, the streetcar would run through there.

Is there a more recent plan? This map says 2023 but it shows the relief line route which was cancelled in 2019.

The previous poster linked to the Broadview Extension Environmental Assessment, which has a ton of detail.

A few overview-style diagrams from other places are below:

Probably just me but these concrete slabs seem precariously placed at the edge of the Minton portal hill lol

Wonder if they'll removed the grey supports and let it hang from its cables as soon as the final arch piece is in. And I guess they could remove the 'false bridge' below it at that point too?

Looks pretty close to the render:

Updates from yesterday.
Dundas & Logan bridges:

Eastern bridge & East Harbour Station:

Exhibition Station:

The city docs show the grey supports all the way to the end of so it's unclear of when they are removed if it's not at the very end. The trestle structure will remain in place until after the paint touch ups and lighting are added and scaffolding needs to be in place before that happens.

Watching East Harbour station pictures I wonder. Isn't Broadview ave going under the station? I see it on N 4 rails but S side only shows the orange plastic cover. Is that stretch built as bridge or there will be more rail closures coming?

I asked that same QQ…They never built it as a bridge and will have to dig out the Eastern portion. Brilliant Metrolinx techniques at work as per usual…
