Saw this in the CLC, just to give a perspective of how much bigger the lrt is compared to a bus.

Some pics from today lots of concrete everywhere, at least the BIAs have got Metrolinx to add some extra decorative lighting. The culvert west of Weston road still appears to require quite a bit of work.

One of the old canadiantire sites at kipling and rexdale that closed for this location is now for sale https://www.collierscanada.com/en-ca/properties/for-sale-vacant-large-format-retailcommercial-with-development-potential/can-2025-2027-kipling-avenue-toronto-ontario-m9v-5h4/can2014333#RelatedDocs

Refurbishing 1 and 4 should be doable if they are willing to spend the extra money, The reactors were re-tubed in the 80's so they are pretty much the same age as the b side reactors, so everything would need to re-done again. I suppose it depends how desperate they are for the extra 1000MW. I...

I'd assume we'd hear about A1 and A4 refurbishment before we'd hear about A2 and A3, at best they'd all be lumped in together. My guess is B refurb is between $15-20 billion, if Darlington was $12.6 Billion in 2016 dollars this will definitely be much more. Also if I'm playing guessing games...

https://news.ontario.ca/en/advisory/1004122/minister-smith-to-hold-a-press-conference I've been told it may have to do with the Pickering refurbishment

There is a sign on site, this is being marketed as "Montaje Condos" https://montajecondos.ca/

They have made good progress in the past few months, but I don't think everything will be done by the end of the year there's a lot of little things left to do. I think by spring it'll be done for the most part, but I could be wrong. That CP rail path will be interesting I would think they will...

Oct CLC slides are up https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1698870877/Images/Metrolinx/CLC_October_2023_FR.pdf

I went by on opening day and can pretty much agree with everything you've said. It's great having a local costco but it could've been designed so much better, the elevator system they have going on with the underground parking is horrendous. Also the LCBO parking was over run by people parking...

site is now for sale along with 600 Liverpool Rd. which is on the west side of liverpool. https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/26165051/591-liverpool-rd-pickering-bay-ridges

Carmine Stefano Community Centre formerly St. Basil High school and the Rivermede House, which is about 57 acres in size located at Weston Rd. and Sheppard Ave W. It appears the city lease for this site is up and the lands have recently been sold to AvranceCorp Developments. No development...

They talked about major construction being done by the end of the year. It looks like it'll be hard to achieve from what I see although they do have 3 months. At a minimum hopefully the zig zagging will be done though, even if all the lanes aren't fully restored.

Its such a poorly done renovation like the rest of the mall. I went to see Gran Turismo there a few weeks ago, while getting popcorn there were some workers on scaffolding removing masking tape from the ceiling lights as it seems they just sprayed the ceiling black and still managed to get...

No pics but I can confirm that they completed final paving of the street and bike lanes on the eastbound section between Islington and Ardwick. The end is coming in sight. They are also hustling and made surprisingly good progress on the most behind section between Jayzel and Weston rd.

With the construction of the stevenson stop, metrolinx has made a new signalized entrance along finch to the mall, but it appears that they are also keeping the two existing entrances as right in right out only. Seems a bit excessive to have 3 entrances within 200m, I suppose eventually this...

Few cell shots today

I would guess the biggest delay is in the culvert at Lindy Lou Park west of weston road as that is the most behind right now. They said in the news that section had a lot of complex utilities under it, I think there's a creek under it, they were still playing around that section the other day...

Quick cell pic today, looks like the mechanical penthouse is finally getting some cladding.

Opening next week https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-long-term-care-fast-track-1.6862223
