I think it looks really confusing since the signs associated with the two escalator banks are exactly at the same place as the sign directing you to the elevator when you’re on the mezzanine. When you come from below you’ll only ever see one of those signs at a time. When you’re walking on the mezzanine you would see all three.

I think they could have pulled the middle sign farther back to where high-vis was standing and also included an elevator symbol. Alternatively, get rid of the two signs for the escalator banks, and simply have the single sign in the middle with an elevator symbol, “To Street (Up Arrow)”, “To Platform (Down Arrow)”.

(I suspect all of this is caused because the escalator banks are just way too close to the elevator).

That is some bad signage. The two at the edges I got immediately. But I initially couldn't figure out what the middle one was for, finally realizing that it’s for the elevator. Up for Eglinton Ave and YEC; down for Line 5.

There absolutely must be a better way to communicate that.

My interpreation of the centre sign is, "Enter here for Line 5 Eglinton. This is also an accessible route."
Fare gates will be installed at where those pylons are.

Noticed new washrooms in the pic EnvironTO posted.
I am wondering if there are any other stations on line 5 that will also have washrooms?

I am guessing that Mount Dennis being a terminus station will have one.
What about Cedervale (Eglinton West) since this will be an interchange station?
I also feel like washrooms might be possible at Science Centre and possible a new set of washrooms at Kennedy?

I don't think either Science Centre or Eglington West will have washrooms. That said washrooms at Science Centre could easily be part of the Ontario Line part of the station.

We could always just pull a Brampton and remove all the tracks and we'd have the world's most epic walking/cycling path!

In fairness, it was mostly precipitated by the Town of Orangeville and not Brampton. cc @SaugeenJunction

Almost feels like there's a word missing here and he meant to write that the minister said that the public has a right to know. I'm not sure why he's saying he would have the right to know since I assume he... already has the right.

Brampton should be held to account for a substantial part of the blame as well. They could have reduced or eliminated the property taxes on the railroad's property - and explicitly chose not to.

Good point and you're right.

Confirmed. Here's the full quote:

“People have a right to know that date,” Sarkaria told Global News at Queen’s Park. “As soon as I have a date, a credible date, that we know the parties can meet we will make sure the public knows that date.”

Brampton had ample opportunity to do the right thing and failed to at every turn.

At the rate Crosstown is going, they could just stick a 7 over the 3, and it will be correct by the time it opens.

Wouldn't they need to redo the whole sign since Eglinton East should be represented by LRT train rather than subway train?
