Yes, lack of controversy is good but the actual project really is boring. The stations and streetscape designs are just so bland and typical... nothing special. The LRT entrance at Finch West Station doesn't even give a nod to the Line 1 station design.

The Hurontario LRT is especially interesting to me as being a rail transit project in the GTA outside Toronto makes it unprecedented, just like the TYSSE to Vaughan

I find also the dispute about the fly-over, and the city center loop, Brampton cancelling and wanting it underground or a route outside Main street, and how this line will (eventually) connect 3 GO train lines outside of the downtown Toronto core, interesting.

The Hurontario Line may be renamed the "Hazel McCallium Line" when it opens, in or around 2024. Planning for the formally named "Huronatario LIne" began in Spring 2020, when Hazel McCallium was still mayor (until 2014).
Planning for the formally named "Eglinton Crosstown Line" (Line 5) began in 2007, when David Miller was still mayor (until 2010). Maybe they should use the "David Miller Line" for the Crosstown when it opens later in 2022?
That means the formally named "Ontario Line" might be renamed the "Rob Ford Line".
Could that also mean the "Finch West Line" might be renamed the "Giorgio Mammoliti Line, when it opens in 2023?

One of Toronto's next transit stations looks like a massive subterranean cavern right now
Toronto is undergoing its most significant transit expansion in a generation. It started with the 2017-completed Line 1 extension, and the Eglinton...

I'm still peeved Metrolinx went with a grey livery for the LRVs here and on Eglinton. Red would have been so much more fun!

^ Hopefully. Metrolinx did that for the Crosstown MSF in the Spring of 2019.

This would be interesting but the scale of this MSF is much smaller than the Crosstown MSF. Finch West is still a huge mess around the MSF area making this not a friendly site to access at the moment. Maybe things will change in a few months.

I think they are proposing one car units to be used on Finch West but can they be used as 2 car units if ridership increases and are the stations being built large enough to handle double units?
