I guess this means they're not regrading Wallace. I thought I saw some drawings earlier that showed it going down by ~0.5m?

Also I saw they re-poured the sidewalks on both sides adjacent to the greenway but didn't add curb cuts. What are people using the greenway with bikes or strollers supposed to do?

I recall that also. Going back to message #2122 in this thread, there was ML documentation (since taken down) saying the clearance at Wallace was to be 4.4 m. But the sign on the bridge now says 5.0m. Maybe they changed something to avoid having to put that dip in the roadway?

Nice to see the path and grass going in but when will they start the access at DuPont? Isn’t there supposed to be a ramp there, and also at Davenport?

So this is Ernest or Paton from the west.

Taken 21 August.

Apparently this will open when the path on the east side of the overpass is paved but no date. Taken 23 September.

^^The claim f the "busiest rail intersection in NA" seems surprising.

I can't say that I understand the machinations with how a public agency seeks bids for this kind of work, but I would have expected this to have been settled a long time ago and work already underway.

Not sure if this has been covered yet but when do they intend to finish the second track? its been a while since anything has come up for that.

It’s in the works, with lots of initial grading and line prep happening - but…… Metrolinx.

The second track is (basically) done.

But it's not of much use without being connected at each end.

If Metrolinx keep their promise to hold existing service levels at current total daily movements until electrification, is there any real advantage to them spending the money to cut in the switches and amend the signalling prior to that?
