They're still high-pressure sodium.
I agree. We should bring back the low-pressure sodium tubes. They gave off a great orange glow.

Mississauga is now 100% LED Streetlight and would be interest to see who else is 100% or close to it, while Toronto continue to be at the rear of the pack. It's saving the city 10's of thousand already.Hydro is only now piloting LED streetlights with the goal to replace everything after the pilot is done. King street through the Financial District is one of the 6 pilots. Link
The week after that, the west side will be close to pedestrian so they can rebuilt the south west corner and finish the road.York Street Lane Closures: Monday, November 27 - Friday, December 1

- No northbound traffic on York Street between Harbour Street and Queens Quay West
- Southbound traffic on York Street will be limited to one lane
- Vehicles on Queens Quay West will have no access to York Street
- Pedestrian movement will be maintained but will be restricted to the west side
The scheduled re-opening was mid-January - it would seem they are ahead of that but i remain puzzled at why the work on Harbour from York to Bay is moving so slowly and why no work yet on the north side.How close are we to having the new ramp open? Is it on schedule?
The situation is becoming totally unbearable with a) huge lineups to access the Spadina off-ramp, b) huge lineups to access the Jarvis off-ramp, c) huge lineups to access the Rees on-ramp because of lane-change conflicts with cars accessing the Jarvis off-ramp.
It’s about freaking time we had this off-ramp up and running.
As I noted above, It could be open before the end of the year, depending on the weather. The ramp itself is done and installing the drainage piping now. The sidewalk and trees are another story.How close are we to having the new ramp open? Is it on schedule?

Please tell me they are going to remove the old concrete ramp supports from the "new park"? The ones that they left on the Lake Shore from the Gardiner extension removal several years ago, just make it look unfinished.
They're leaving them up in case the ramp is rebuilt under a Doug Ford mayoralty.Please tell me they are going to remove the old concrete ramp supports from the "new park"? The ones that they left on the Lake Shore from the Gardiner extension removal several years ago, just make it look unfinished.
