It looks like the rails have been splice and this will allow TTC to level the track on Thursday and do the first pour of concrete on Friday. Should be finish just short of Queen by Wednesday next week that the Four Season driveway can open for parking again.2024-06-19 21:04 York St between Richmond & Queen St

Isn't this just a function of the fact that the TTC are not paying for the connection south from Queen and thus have no budget line to add this curve, even if they did want it?It looks like the rails have been splice and this will allow TTC to level the track on Thursday and do the first pour of concrete on Friday.

Then have to wait for the switch work to be done on Queen for full bypass in place. Again, another miss opportune to have an eastbound switch added for short turning or getting around an issues on Queen to the west, but no track to King nor a switch to do that route change.
Another example of TTC having no vision to put switches in for numberour locations as they rebuilt the network for better operation of the network
The TTC budget is HUGE, yes it's not unlimited but adding useful curves is an investment. Clearly they can't add them everywhere and some streets/corners are too narrow or have utility pits in the way but the problem is that they never even think of these kinds of things and on the few occasions when they do and produced a Report that the Board approved agreeing to add some when the intersection was being rebuilt they forgot about this when the time came.Isn't this just a function of the fact that the TTC are not paying for the connection south from Queen and thus have no budget line to add this curve, even if they did want it?
Going well so far...
Commercial fines need to be way higher...Going well so far...

The road has gotta be painted before barriers can be installed. I assume we'll get similar barriers to those on Richmond/Adelaide given the size of the buffer they provided.Why paint the wide yellow, instead of building a barrier of some kind.
Or they could've went with ones built right into the road like Wellington that was so popular.The road has gotta be painted before barriers can be installed. I assume we'll get similar barriers to those on Richmond/Adelaide given the size of the buffer they provided.
They only do this when they are rebuilding a road - $$$.Or they could've went with ones built right into the road like Wellington that was so popular.
