Supposed to be this upcoming Sunday (weather permitting)

Some overnight track removal or what? About 5 workers on site. One is grinding away and the other banging away.

Has been confirmed by multiple sources that CP plan is to remove the diamond tracks by mid to end of June

Nice, hopefully sooner than later. I can confirm that metrolinx has already removed as as much of the diversion track as possible. What’s left is only a short span of track (few metres) each way i.e. east/west from the diamond intersection. And I anticipate this final portion will be left for CP...

I wish they made the main diamond bridge metal this same colour as this one instead of “rust brown”. This vintage green-ish colour is much more aesthetically pleasing.

For sure, I’m just venting so my bad. Always appreciate your informative posts and replies Paul.

Yeah sense of urgency definitely looks to have subsided. Surely, Metrolinx has to inflate the budget and our tax dollar contributions somehow. They can take their time I don’t care just wish CP would remove the diamond tracks ASAP already so local residents don’t have to bear the track noise for...

Cool story but when are they removing the diamond already?

All is going well. I was wondering if the recent community bulletin work posting by metrolinx for removing the diversion track for the month of April means they will be removing the diamond as well?? This is the posting I’m referring to...

What a poorly organized joke of a company haha 🤡

what a shitshow, typical metrolinx

Did it have a posting about the cutover and then the post got removed? What confirmation do we have about the switchover not happening this weekend?

Right, makes sense. The controlling and scheduling being up to CP would sound about right since they own the tracks. Either way, hopefully sooner than later. Looking forward to the switchover this weekend. The rep in person was still calling this weekends switch tentative which I thought was...

Metrolinx rep was in the adjacent condo lobbies yesterday taking questions, I asked him when will they remove the diamond intersecting tracks. He said that CP will remove it on their own schedule probably in the summer or by fall of this year. This is contrary to what I was told by two separate...

Yes I just meant the tracks themselves, in regards to the signalling I have no clue

They need to remove it to build the pedestrian path. Definitely the diamond cannot stay as is for long.

Woohoo new transfer date March 27 baby, looks like all the whining paid off, no need to thank me

Cricket cricket…another metrolinx project delayed until who knows when

When is the almighty track switch over that keeps getting delayed. G*d bless metrolinx! Cough cough
