Hmm looks like it is Brook Restoration So whether or not this is for the power station, restoration appears imminent.

Yes, I believe so. And I believe once this is done the station at John & Front will no longer be there.

That's the Windsor transformer station, and no it will remain. There are planned upgrades though once this project is finished. There will be redundancy between the two if there's a failure at one. Most of it touched on in this Star article.

With all the building downtown, the need for capacity is going to keep increasing.

Ah, thanks Xray. I know someone involved in this at one point who thought the Windsor station was going to go.

Some cellphone pics taken during that endurance exercise in fascination known as 'crawling along the Gardiner in a GO Bus'.

A-one.

And a two.

And-a-three!

And-a-four!

And-a-five. This is turning into veritable zoetrope fodder.

And. A. Six.

Is the plaza planed on top of the station going to happen in phase 1 (i.e. right away) or will it be something added on later ?

What building is it referring too ?

I remember there was an issue with the machine shop (part of the museum) what ever came of that, are they taking the space over forcing the machine shop to close ?
