Oh, so that is how that was supposed to look like. Neat.

Is there any provision for westward extension of the Crosstown so as to not disrupt service at Mt Dennis?

The tail tracks west of the Mt. Dennis end just west of the Weston Road and Eglinton Avenue West intersection.

From link, "Executive Summary" page 21. Notice the "Phase 2" and "Limit of Phase 1" line in the above image (lower section). The report is from 2013, so more changes have been made since then.

For other reports, see link.

Great news, I was worried they were going to miss installing them early enough to get filled with construction dust!

Helps with moving construction material up the stairs. Ditto with elevators in high-rises.
 
Also more difficult to bring in once construction is further along. You want them in ideally before the building envelope is closed up. Otherwise you are taking apart walls, glazing and who knows what else that may be in the way.
 
Actually, that is weird to see them that complete. Usually the stringers and pits are installed early, but the steps and handrails and finished panels come later

crazy cool to see stations coming together and looking somewhat complete.. Almost every other station on the line has a long way to go still, but very cool. The line is starting to become "real" in a lot of ways.
 
We should have a cutdown of streets filled to the top and asphalted to the full width at the underground stations.
