Before anyone gets too excited, my understanding is that the sections funded and worked on by the city don’t have committed funding.

I've always wondered what that orange section (next to the entrance) is for. Was MX going to put art there?

Just part of the building 'design'. The walls inside will also have flat blocks of colour depending on if you going into or getting out of the station. The idea is that would help with wayfinding.

Those poles and wires are a mess...

i agree that the poles themselves could be trimmed down in height but what youre seeing is a skewed optical illusion. its actually not that bad when you go in person and you look at it from the side.

That's from the telescopic lens used to zoom in ALL the reference lines in the image.

See link.

That's what I thought. Makes it look like it's a construction zone lol

case in point its all about perspective:

the famous japanese roller coaster bridge isnt actually abnormally steep at all when looked from the side.

New report says the Eglinton Crosstown LRT could open five months late — and without its Eglinton stop

Idk how I feel about this. Its nice that we're getting it open earlier, but it really sucks that arguably the most important station will be delayed. At least its better than delaying the whole thing by an additional 3 months.

 

[Rainforest]

This is unfortunate.

Maybe we can't blame the builders if the cause of this delay is the need to repair structural defects of the existing Yonge/Eglinton station structure. That problem could not be planned for or even discovered before the ECLRT construction began.

The absence of the proper Yonge-Eglinton interchange will result in some very weird transfers involving buses. Let's hope this situation will last for months not years.
