I'll put my money on a Ford flip flop and that there will be a Science Centre open there - at least if Line 5 opens in the next few years.

At the risk of derailing the thread, I don’t really see it. All the people I know in Doug Ford age bracket said it hasn’t changed in 30 years so might as well tear it down. (totally forgetting continual investment is important??)
Billions of dollars of land were bought up before the green belt announcement at huge interest rates. Those people are gonna want something from Doug

That's precisely the section that its based off, and its arguably the most important part of Manhattan, making up much of the densest segments of the Island, as well as the major destinations such as Penn Station. Like sure, the B/D go to 8th Avenue, but that's mainly Central Park West, not exactly the star of Manhattan.

They started the construction of the concrete slurry wall for the Pape Station maintenance building (at Sammon) - going until Spring 2025. 24 hours a day work Monday to Friday and regular hours on Saturday.

Similar construction will begin at Pape Station in a couple of weeks

Great update! One note, the excavation at Sammon Ave is for a track crossover section and likely an access shaft. It’s not exactly maintenance facilities for Pape station.

One curious thing in that release is the claimed travel time of 40 minutes end to end on the line. That is rather slow, no? That's an average speed of only 23km/h. It's also significantly different than the "less than 30 minutes" on Metrolinx's primary website for the OL:
Ontario Line
A 15.6-km subway line in Toronto that will run from Exhibition Place to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.

That is slow. Presumably the 30 minutes or less is correct (which gives you typical urban subway speeds of 31 km/hr).

After what happened on the Crosstown, I have no faith this would happen, but my vote would be "Eglinton-Don", renaming Line 4's east terminus to "Don-Sheppard".

"Eglinton – Don Mills" and "Sheppard – Don Mills" (after line 3 actually reaches line 4), take it or leave it.

We've got Sheppard to Don Mills now. Surely Line 3 will be Ontario Place to Ontario Science Centre!

If the Ontario Science Center moves to the same location as Ontario Place, the bar wouldn't be set very highWe've got Sheppard to Don Mills now. Surely Line 3 will be Ontario Place to Ontario Science Centre!
I was talking about the proposed renaming of any involved stations, not which lines have already been built and which ones are still in the works.

I propose Eglindon and Sheppardon Stations.
