Lots more up on my site for the 3 stations and Mount Dennis area.

Getting ready to pour the curb for the westbound lane at the portal. Have pour some of the new sidewalk.

The OS support different from any I have seen for other systems. Doesn't look like much more to be done before going live and start testing the cars from Mount Dennis Station to X

Work well underway for the new GO/UPX Mount Dennis Station.

They are rebuilding a wider entrance/road to No Frills as well the new bus termin

Are they going to trim the height of the catenary poles? It looks so unrefined with so much extra length just sticking up there for no reason

Grey skies, grey concrete, grey trains. This shit is why nobody wants elevated.

If we plan on extending west we need to make these guideways less obtrusive and expressionless.

also, stop being such hardasses and throw some paint on those trains, Metrolinx

The new Riyadh Metro currently under construction is doing a great job making all the elevated portions look nice. They covered the sides and added the lines' colors on the viaducts. They are even adding light fixtures under them and around the street with colors matching the lines.

Indeed, of all the existing colours they had to choose GREY .. What's wrong with those people?

If they could just hire one or two Arts programs graduates, to address the lack-of-imagination problem that seems to cripple Metrolinx ..

Maybe they're trying to avoid the colours used by the political parties?

In Canada, the official color for the New Democratic Party is orange, while the Liberal Party of Canada uses red, the Conservative Party of Canada uses blue, and the Bloc Québécois uses light blue. The Green Party of course uses green. So none of those colours can be used.

Then we have to urgently disband one of those parties, to liberate a colour before the Eglinton cars get painted hopeless grey :)

Or, they could come up with a colour combination that doesn't give any party an unfair advantage, and yet doesn't look hopelessly dull. More work for that Arts program graduate they are about to hire ..

A rainbow coloured livery? I can see some Conservatives not liking that one bit.
