Lot more up on site
Jack hammers hard at work around the stairs from the tunnel to TTC fare area. Hard to said what taking place from rebuilding the stairs to having a ramp replace the 6/8? steps that were there years ago. Small section of curb and sidewalk to be pour for the new walkway to/from the station since the current one will be remove come Jan 4th.
By the looks of things, the PPUDO building interior not finish and no idea about the elevator.
If the tunnel is not open on Jan 4th when miWay starts operating out of the new Hub, riders will have to use the north entrance to get to/from TTC station. There is an working elevator there to allow accessibility rider, walkers and stroller to/from TTC station as well. The walkway from the north entrance to TTC station 100% done including the plaza area for the PPUDO building, other than a small area waiting forming and concrete, but no effect on the movement of the public.
Unless something change between now and Jan 4th, TTC Kiss & Ride area will open as well about 150 parking spots on the west side of the new driveway to/from Dundas. Depending on the weather and EllisDon, the north parking lot could be open as well and this holds the bulk of the parking lot. Curbs pour and grading taking place before the asphalt can be lay and strip.
The interior for the elevators area on GO platform still needs to finish.
Every other LCD screen for miWay platform were being tested on both side of the terminal.
New bike storage bin are at the north front Hub entrance as well the standard bike shelter to the east.
No idea why there is a mesh screen in front of all the windows for the walkway bridge from the Hub to GO platform, other than protection for breaking windows.
Only a few more weeks to get shots of miWay buses going to/from Islington Terminal as it will be a thing from the past. Only route 26 will use Dundas and Bloor after the 4th that will follow the route out of Toronto the same way it came into Toronto. It will drop rider off at Islington before carrying on to Kipling and pick riders up on Islington and as it leaves Toronto. Setup to replace TTC 50 route that I recommend in the early 2000's and being pushed by Metrolinx.
No idea at this time what TTC time table is for tearing the existing Islington terminal down and move the existing TTC routes to the south platform currently being use by miWay nor building the new terminal and accessibility entrance.
Its also a good time to shots of miWay at the terminal as well the terminal itself as it will become a thing from the past.
Bulk of the photos pertaining to TTC parking lot are up on TTC catch all thread and my site along with other shots.
Since miWay 3 route will still be using Aukland, the current stops will remain, but not sure about the current southbound one. The current southbound was place there since the #3 bus had to make a left turn on to Dundas and it will make a right turn now. The current stop could be move to TTC stop at Dundas. I expect the same people who get off/on at the Dundas stops will continue to do so as it will still be a faster access to/from TTC than using the Hub.
