A frenetic pace at Cedarvale station. What else will be there be left to do here once they repave here in late-April?

 

[innsertnamehere]

probably not much, but Cedarvale isn't the critical path station, Eglinton is.

Hoping that they go all out Japanese style on eglinton to finish it asap. But then again it's Canada.... not holding my breath for any urgency

They'll have to delay opening Line 5 to change the name on the Science Centre Station to DeGasperis Condo Station.

Ford cancels the Ontario Line but fulfils his promise of a fast trip between Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre by relocating the Science Center to Ontario place.

Just call the place Ontario Village and OL lives on. A suggestion is to change the name to Old Science Centre Station. Like Old Cummer and Old Mills, that could work!

What's the backstory with these jokes? Is Ontario planning on moving the science center for real?

Very very seriously.

And with our idiot premier it's likely going to happen since it will be another oportunity for him and his caucus members to get benefits (either direct/indirect) from yet another developer.

Really? What a stupid thing to do, there's so much places in the city that can be redeveloped. Heck why not condo's down by Ontario place, although I agree that should be public land as well.

Flippin greedy conservatives

Isn't the Science center on land that's not developable?

The main building in the ravine perhaps.

But the rules about not being able to build would be subject to whatever the Ontario cabinet wants to do. I'd think the biggest real question is where is the 100-year flood zone.

The parking lot can be redeveloped without touching the Ontario Science Centre itself. The Line 5's AND Ontario Line's Science Centre Station will be on the northeast corner of Eglinton & Don Mills.

From link.

As can the other parking lot to the south, which reaches Flemingdon Park station. I suspect what they really want though is the jewel in the crown is though, is the main building in the Don Valley.

The south lot could be still used by school buses, from outside of range of Line 5 & Ontario Line.

Nope - from TRCA Flood Plain Map:

Guess we figured what the machinations are here.
