I mean with all the negative attention around the 401 tunnel, I think it's probably a wise political move to try to highlight the transit investments they are also making.

Construction Now Underway Along the Entire Ontario Line​

Significant milestone reached on historic project as work starts on Don Valley bridges

Are these renderings new? I don't recall seeing them before.

 

[innsertnamehere]

I believe so, yes. First I've seen renderings of the south portal.

Naw i know ive seen those before

New renderings! Check out a glimpse of the future Don Valley Crossing bridge. Travelling north from Cosburn Station, Ontario Line trains will emerge from underground via a tunnel portal onto the new bridge which will carry them across the valley. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/eX2L5HelwH

Both were actually previously shared here a few months ago.

The renders definitely look nice, but depict the OL trains differently than they're supposed to look.

A couple of quotes from premier Ford I thought were interesting from today's announcement during the q&a (at the 45min mark):

Why are we the most expensive in the world to build a damn tunnel

Why can Spain do it 1/5th the cost

While I imagine it's to late for any existing projects under construction, but something that should have been asked long before we stated digging on other projects... I imagine this will not affect the O line budget.

My favourite quote was that they'd finished with the TBMs for the Eglinton West extension, and sent the TBMs to Scarborough. And that the Scarborough project was on schedule.

I don't really like using the word "wise" to describe a government in the same sentence that contains the 401 tunnel, if not prefixed with "un".

Thanks.

Behind the row of stores that are scheduled for demolition at Pape & Cosburn:

The apartment village on Cosburn is kind of a sad place:

It would benefit from a reconfiguration to make a lot of that unused space into public space.

Mexico City?

Yeah, Mazatan in La Condesa but Vito Alessio Robles in Coyoacan is an even better example.

Does anyone know whether the trains run on top of this bridge, or are they covered?

Pretty sure those renderings are what it will look like with minimal changes. so no coverings
