Or if you don't have mobility issues, which is why Toronto is adding sidewalks where they don't exist...

Clearing sidewalks has a lot more to do with older people, than kids. I've known several people in their 50s and 60s having bad injuries on Toronto sidewalks in the winter. And it only gets worse with those that already have issues, leaving them virtual shut-ins until they are properly clear.

We should have just dug a proper 28 km subway entirely below grade from Renforth to Kennedy and using new buys of the same Toronto Rockets we use on the Sheppard and Yonge–University Lines, or whatever trains will be bought for the 26 km Bloor-Danforth line. If we had started a boring machine...

It *could* mean that once the 2 months of rail grinding is complete, followed by some further inspection and testing, Metrolinx will formally accept the project and the TTC can start working towards opening. Ever the optimist.

So can anyone confirm that this "Rail Grinding" is one step forward or one step backwards?

Metrolinx refuses to share progress and problems with Eglinton LRT - Toronto | Globalnews.ca
Metrolinx has rejected two access to information requests from Global News seeking progress reports on the long-delayed Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
globalnews.ca
Is there anyone here who understands sketchy idiot as a second language who can say what safety issues could possibly arise from knowing what is wrong with this line? Or why anyone should accept economic harm as an argument for keeping such fundamental information a secret?

Considering that it's coming after the LIDAR scan of the whole route, which is one of the last requirements of a project like this before hand-over - I would say that it would be a step forward.
