So this is happening... Not sure if it's much of a big deal though. I was wondering if anyone saw the documents before they were withdrawn or has inside information. The internet Archive isn't working at the moment so It's not looking like we can use that.

I've said before that the surface platforms need better physical barriers particularly where the platforms meet the crosswalk. Along with decent weather and rain shelters. They seemed to only be concerned with how sleek or modern they look.

They way people drive on Eglinton, you do not want to use that bike lane.

I've ridden on many big roads without bike lanes before they existed and never had issues. It seems the fear factor increases more than the safety factor meant to ease them.

I bet ML is going to sue the hell out of them for all the damage too if they don't pay up.

Will likely be an insurance claim (I assume you're referring to the car v LRT shelter at what looked like Victoria Park/Eglinton)

At the very least there should be concrete barriers on the opposite side of the sidewalk. The small curb and single thin post do no provide enough protection.

There should be knee or chest high barriers like on YRT.

I suggested such barriers, and full length shelters during the online consultations, they didn't think they were needed. I suspect there will be an incident of a vehicle ending up on the platform after a collision, injuring a waiting passenger. and the city will then have to come in and build decent barriers.

We hope they have insurance

Assuming that Eglinton LRT will open some time in the future, how will bus network change? Is there a map somewhere for the "day after" (or month after)?

This information is readily Googleable, even more so if you know which website to look for. From Steve Munro

Hilarious to be asking for any timeline related to the Crosstown, but is the Mount Dennis UP Station expected to open at the same time as the LRT line?
