Assuming they'd choose to open a new subway line a couple of days before Christmas. Which sounds like a recipe for disaster, given the extra staffing that might be necessary if things go south.

I do not like the route nomenclature. Line 5, without looking that up I have no ideas which one that is. What was wrong with Bloor-Danforth, University-Spadina, Sheppard, Eglinton LRT, etc? These names told us clearly what was what, and could be updated as their routes extended.

So Line 1 would become Ruggles-Yonge-University-Spadina-Allen-Sheppard-Keele-York-Jane
And Line 2 becomes Dundas-Bloor-Danforth-McCowan
Which would make the Ontario Line "Liberty New Street-Bathurst-Queen-Parliament-Pape-Leaside-Don Mills".
I don't see why "Line 5 Eglinton" or "Line 6 Finch West" is confusing.
And Line 2 becomes Dundas-Bloor-Danforth-McCowan
Which would make the Ontario Line "Liberty New Street-Bathurst-Queen-Parliament-Pape-Leaside-Don Mills".

It’s the name not the number that addresses any confusing. Eglinton LRT, Finch West LRT is all we need. We all knew what the Scarborough RT was referring to; but Line 3? That tells us nothing. Skip the Line whatever #s.
I’m surprised that the TTC’s numerologists haven’t gone after the Waterfront East LRT. I suppose its streetcar rolling stock is a bridge too far even for them.

A friend doing training today noted that Science Centre Station was announced as Don Valley Station. Considering how big the valley is, I hope that gets revised to something better.

With that crowd, I'd assume that's for announcement that Line 5 will open in 3 months. January 5th?
I guess you haven't heard about Line 10 then?
The issue is how to do the signage in intermodal stations. It's just simpler to have the coloured line numbers - especially as Line 1 and Line 2 don't have simple names. Particularly at the stations where there's 3 lines intersecting.
Should we remove all the numbers from bus routes and streetcar routes?

Though id put money on TOC related announcement

Considering the location is East York, I assume it would be related to the Ontario Line / TOC. Perhaps MSF related or far fetched is the contract execution for Elevated Portion that will be running through that area (this isn't expected till January tho). Doubt it is for the Eglinton LRT or else it would have leaked by now imo

Theyve done 2 groundbreakings for pape and king/bathurst so MSF kinda makes sense?

I suppose it could be the structure for the Ontario Line over the Don Valley too. Or one of the 3 new Ontario line stations in East York. We are spoiled that there's so many projects going on, that it's hard to even come up with a short-list.

I feel like thats way too small scale to bring in the federal minister of infrastructure.
Unless you connect it to "smarttrack" and the money the feds gave for that

Your regular reminder that SmartTrack is not a real thing. For anyone that didn't pick up on the quotation marks.
