I was always on the side of them being on time with this project, even arguing with post on here, but I was wrong. Now way they finish sep 2021. Definitely 8months - year off.

I'm hopeful as well, but I think there will only be a real uptick in cycling along the corridor if the bike lanes are fully separated and protected; renderings and cross-sections have shown the streescape both ways.

The "warm" winter we had so far this year has helped.

Oh, that site. Yes, future Green P lot. Maybe. The neighbourhood has made a lot of noise about it.

When it comes to Metrolinx, they think backwards.Will the stairs be accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, and bicycles when the elevators or escalators are out-of-service?
From link. Or will the design not be considered because the designers are not handicapped, have kids, or ride bicycles? The usual excuse.

That station looks like St. Patrick and Queen's Park, and the platform looks longer than a subway platform; you can barely see the other end and it looks more like a shared tunnel. Are all the stations built like that?

The mined stations will probably all look like that. What your looking at is the train tunnel (one way) on the far right and the raised area is the platform. Far left out of the frame would be the other track tunnel

^Pretty sure that you can see the two bores way down at the back. So both tracks will be under the one arch, with the platform in the middle. Much airier than QP or St Patrick.

That underground cavern also includes room for crossover tracks and a centre storage track, more than double the length of space needed for just a station.

They could be laying tracks from Sunnybrook Park westwards Mount Pleasant Station. Leaving Cedarvale, Science Centre, Eglinton, and Kennedy when the station boxes are ready (Science Centre Station box should be first).

This infographic, although cool, doesnt really say too much because it doesnt say how far along each section is. Like I would imagine anything with green on it has the track fully installed (like the western portions) but the eastern sections are also green, but not fully filled in. So how much of that is actually done? This could've been done a bit better...

There could have been fine print reading "Diagram not to scale"
