The last post related to W.K Lis's is jmi22's two posts above his on the same page. Missing that is on you. Have a good night

A page ago people were discussing ridership for the Crossstown and the fact that is an LRT instead of a subway. W. K. Lis's post touches on that and adds pictures and refs on top. I think it is relevant. I dont always feel the same for some other posts, but this one does not warrant the snark.

I dont see what uploading the subway has to do with wanting to build a new line with international standards. The stories from your contracts are concerning. But if the OL gets built then that's an improvement over whatever the TTC/City of Toronto have been doing.

Do tell what you know of the insides of Metrolinx. You have worked there or with them before? Center tunnels get to be slightly more expensive, but then have every extension deep into the suburbs and to the airport be elevated and cheaper. Seems like a good deal to me. "Operated" in the past...

Y'all wearing tinfoil hats that the OL will be different because Metrolinx wants to build something different to spite the TTC/Toronto is laughable. They simply want to the builders/consortiums to build more efficiently without being contained by TTC's legacy systems and rolling stock. (I know...

Posting this as I dont think anyone has yet. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2023/03/06/metrolinx-to-cut-down-thousands-of-trees-in-don-valley-for-ontario-line.html Metrolinx is cutting down about 2,787 trees in phases along the Don Valley this month. The notice says they might cut more if...

The design you shared is the old design from 2018. Now the station and bus platform are completely east of McCowan. There is no indication of any sort of connection or pathway to the mall anymore. It will be a 500m walk outdoors to get to the nearest mall entrance. A tower opposite the...

Can you back up your claims? The REM has a catenary specifically for the winter weather. The CDPQ Infra would definitely not choose a feature that would cut into their contractual reliability and per distance traveled costs. And the stuff you mention about aerodynamics seem to be a stretch...

Platform screen doors allow the trains to enter and leave stations faster. It also decreases the chances of things or people getting on the tracks and causing delays. Trams can have platform screen doors as you can see in the Dubai Tram (Alstom Citadis LRV /Alstom’s Urbalis signaling ) and the...

Just changing the rolling stock to match the OL will not do anything. The REM's Alstom Metropolis rolling stock is customizable for example and can look and function like a TR. It will not save any money just to get new trains. (The TRs technically support automation and platform screen doors)...

Alstom's pitch seems to show that Toronto's station will be at Union.

Timber!

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6753495 STM and the mall owner at the future Anjou Station have reached a deal for using part of the mall parking lot for the station. The STM will recieve the land in March 2024.

According to the emails in the article, testing is not the reason. The article says the real reason was not stated. But if it's not testing, then it is probably construction on stations like Eglinton-Yonge etc.

Glad to help. And congrats on becoming an "active member". 15 years is a long time! When I read it they made it sound like 'the whole project [minus the airport] should be done by end of 2024, including this station'. pre-Covid they had said this station will open in 2023. So hopefully this...

What information are you missing? https://rem.info/en/news/griffintown-bernard-landry-station-unveiled The station is targeted to open by end of 2024 along with the other branches.
