There was a question on the progress of tunnel. I believe I heard Phil say that the first tunnel will be done by end of April; second a few weeks later.

Oh good they've come to their senses and decided to add the Line Number to the station name banner.
... I'm still going to complain about the use of Clearview ADA though

Why does the Martin Grove render have graphics for 2 modes of transit?
Is that the 2051 plan to extend the Ontario Line through Richmond Hill, VMC, Pearson Airport and south to Kipling? The Richview to Kipling transmission corridor runs right next to Eglinton & Martin Grove!

I wouldn’t read too much into it. Graphic designers aren’t transit planners and most of the rendering work isn’t done in-house.

I think the last picture is Renforth station.

How long do we want to give it until the orange fins are value-engineered out? I'll say by 2026 those nice lovely fins will be replaced by some ugly steel-mesh type of fencing.

Why are we sticking to this sterile theme? No need for consistency with the other portion of the line. It’s not too late to opt for something warm and welcoming like the Ontario Line stations (eg. new Pape rendering below).

It is but the penultimate picture has Martin Grove in the station signage plus the 2 different transit icons.

It boggles my mind why there isn't a covered connection between the Mississauga Transitway entrance building and the ECWE entrance building. The only thing separating them is a bus access road to the transitway.
They really need to release the proper architectural drawings for these stations for us to better understand the layout and some of the design decisions.
