Database file coming soon, but in the meantime, here is the first rendering:

Here's the neighbourhood context map for the station that you'll want to use to go to the Science Centre, which is just opposite St Dennis Drive to the north, so of course it's too late to call it that:

They should really rename this station to "Science Centre" and rename the current (soon to be) Science Centre station at Don Mills and Eglinton to "Don Crossing".

There are proposals to redevelop the lands around the Ontario Science Centre. All those parking lots could be replaced with something more useful. Let's hope there will be better suggestions for the neighbourhood.

Is this the Ontario Government that is proposing this new new front entrance to the Science Centre at Don Mills and Eglinton? Some aspects of the Science Centre could use a refresh but I hate to think that the valley wouldn't be incorporated into the experience in some way.

They may even develop AROUND and ENCLOSING the elevated line.

They may even develop AROUND the elevated line.

The Contemporary Resort Hotel is one of my favorites. The Ontario Line running indoors through a tall Ontario Science Centre atrium would be captured in photos for travel brochures for sure.

No detailed architecture yet but a few newer details in the site plan from December. Of note - mention of potential TOC development to the west of the station (currently parking for the defunct Science Centre).

Overall site (rotated to fit better, north is left):

South end, by Gateway - Don Mills intersection:

North end, by St Dennis - Don Mills intersection:

This is so stupid. Should be little more than a scaled up version of this. The explosion in transit costs is hugely self-imposed.

I wonder why didn't go with an island platform configuration - they could have saved themselves from having to provide 1.5x more escalators and elevators.

Maybe it's the way they would of have to configure the tracks around a centre medium breaking the flow and efficiency of it? I can't say which would of cost more though...

It separates elevated guideway and station design & construction; simplifies track alignment, OCS design and construction phasing.

This is very cool & imperative for the visual learners type. Can this be done for more stations & stops?
Massive massive building tho
