Now I'm imagining a silly New York-style name for the strip between Lansdowne and the tracks -- WaWaWa (Wade, Wallace, and Ward).

“3-wa“ has a better chance of making it into a Drake song.

The explanation in the replies, which seems reasonable to me, is that it will be staged. The single track will move onto the elevated portion first which will then provide room for them to finish the approach for the second track.

Some photos from Wednesday.
Looking east in the 1 Wilthshire Ave. courtyard. The MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) wall is growing higher than the building.
Progress on the MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) berm north of the Davenport Diamond. Looking east at the Lounsbury / Cedarvale Foods building at 11 Wiltshire Ave.
Looking up/north under the new Davenport Diamond overpass.
Looking south at the Davenport Diamond. The tracks along the left will eventually be moved up to the guideway being built on the right.
Looking north across the Davenport Diamond.
Looking north at the Davenport Diamond. The pillars lead to the overpass over the east-west CP Rail line.
Looking east across the parking lots behind 1444 Dupont St.(northeast corner of Campbell Ave.) behind Piri Piri grillhouse, as a GO train travels past.
Looking south from Antler St.
Looking east across the tracks at Antler St. towards Lappin Ave. There's potential for a cyclist/pedestrian crossing here, but unfortunately it's private property (a parking lot) on the other side.
Looking south along the edge of Campbell Park.
Looking south from just north of Wallace Ave.

Looking south across Wallace Ave. The wall on the right is the end of the future berm.

Looks good.
How many more pillars do they have to form? Are the concrete guide ways being prefabbed and shipped to site?

I thought all of the pillars were finished, but I noticed this week there were some still to be done near Campbell Park, as seen above in "Looking south from Antler St." photo.

Those are much beefier than the box girders used for subway/SkyTrain trains. (ie due to heavier weight of GO trains (and freight trains?)). Compare to Millennium Line box girders here:
