The current built landscape.

I thought Labour Day weekend was a safe bet. although I also said that this time last year.

https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/renovations/centennial-branch-renovation.jsp. Officially closed.

Looks like it was approved.

Really? I think if it were not for the buried sections of Line 5 it would be open in 2022 or sooner without the pandemic. Is the Hurontario LRT that far behind schedule if it is all surface-level?

This video does a great job of explaining what happened with regard to the opening date moving around the way it did. However, listening to all the ways that Mertolinx has communicated the revisions feels like a PR disaster and that there is something extremely messy they do not want the public...

New trailer at 242 Finch Avenue West, signs of life. Will take a picture next pass by.

Passed by the library, and noticed they have put up "Closing soon" in their window using sticky notes (may have not been exact wording) but it was large and visible driving on the eastbound lanes of Finch Avenue West. So I assume some progress has been made because that is a new sign.

I agree. I also wish that they would continue building the Line 6 originally imagined and extend the Finch West LRT to Finch station. Connecting both sides of Line 1 north of Bloor (eventually north of Eglinton, whenever the Crosstown may open) would be a game changer as east west rapid transit...

Hold on $400-$450 million dollars for 1 station at Cummer? No interchage, just a regular subway stop? York University station cost $150 million dollars in 2017. Something's not adding up.

Looks like this project is getting bumped from a height of 74m, 24 storeys to 91m 29 storeys.

The never-ending quarry

So how many developments are now planned on gas stations in North York? Bathurst and Finch, Bathurst and Wilson, Yonge and Chatsworth. Currently 2/3 are sitting dormant and Bathurst and Finch is still operating. I wonder how long the remediation time is for these gas stations?

The Line 4 extensions should be done in phases. Phase 1 Sheppard West extension, linking Sheppard West to Sheppard-Yonge, approximately 3km. Phase 1 would be much simpler to implement due to this small distance. Phase 2 would be the East extension, which would require more significant...

Thank god

Line 5 has to open in 2024. Unless another once-in-a-lifetime event somehow further interferes with it, I like December as a month to pick for the opening, hoping for September to line up with back to school and end of summer. Dreaming of a Spring 2024 opening announced in January.

It is December 1st, 31 days until 2024. No way we even have an ETA to begin the new year. I really wish there was good news. I am not sure how it is possible for Metrolinx to not even live up to their embarrassing "every 2 months" update policy created at the end of September. Now, with the...

The Crosstown LRTv broke ground in 2011... It's an LRT. 13 years is insane. The Valley line in Edmonton broke ground in 2016 and phase 1 is open as of the beginning of this month it's 13 km vs. Crosstown's 19km but the REM also broke ground in 2018, and phase one is open, meaning a 16.6 km...
