hawc, kotsey do you have any recent drone photos of the area just south of the Ontario Science Centre where the Ontario line will be turning west?

Particularly the area above the ET Seton Archery Range? The facebook page created by the archers there have recently reported/noticed the encroachment and widening of the work area that has caused the range to be reduced/reconfigured. It's an active group and some aerial photos would be great to see.
Thanks a ton!!!

Until this past week, I believe archers could enter the archery range from the south (i.e. right of the photo). They (Metrolinx/Ontario Hydro) clear cut that part (3:00-4:30 radian, rightish) on Monday. Incidentally, that's where a lot of deer would feed and there's been loud grumbling/anger on Beauty of the Don on Facebook.

Edit: clarification and video/link

Apart from the final sentence about the elements, couldn't this argument be used against having windows on a subway car at all?

Except for being able to see outside on outdoor sections, or being able to see the station the train is entering.
 
I guess a milestone would be getting the TBM in ground, but what's the next significant sign of progress to occur? The bridges at Riverdale and east harbour being completed?

TBM's for the downtown get inserted mid-late next year.
The joint corridor work related to GO transit wont be complete for another 1-1.5 years

A couple of new views today of the north part of the DVCB. These are from outside the construction access points off Millwood just north of Overlea

It really is excessive how many trees they've taken down here.

One of the areas of greenery for the WDCB south of the OSC that was cut down was where a whole bunch of deer ate and hung out. They're apparently rather distressed! (This is from posts in the Beauty fo The Don group on FB)

It's hard to put much weight into that.

Deer regularly hang out all the way down to the Bloor Viaduct. They even make it to the Leslie Street Spit not infrequently. The small patch of forest that has been destroyed, as painful as it is, is not going to adversely affect them in any way.

Project owners don’t go out of their way to cut down trees for no reason. It can cost more than $500/tree removed in Toronto due to permitting, removal, and compensation planting.

Wow, who knew we'd have our very own resident deer expert on the forum? 🦌🤩
