TTC updated their Presto fare gate installation pages. Five more stations left to be scheduled: Chester, Coxwell, Woodbine, Lawrence East and Ellesmere.

Thanks, I was looking at this page.Leslie's on their construction notices page.
All stations that have presto readers will get fare gates in 2017 after all the stations that don't have presto available yet gets them by the end of this year.So when does Islington get fare gates? They have two Presto readers right now and it is still where Mississauga Transit drops all of their ridership since the new bus terminal at Kipling isn't in service yet. It is a high usage station and it mystifies me as to why they are not making it a priority.

I wish they would do St George already. They only have Presto on the Bedford entrance. Meanwhile, the bulk of U of T students are using the St George side. When I'm in a hurry I don't have time to run around to Bedford... so annoying to have to carry tokens still.
Their replacement priority is super odd from a user perspective - going out of the way to avoid the most heavily used stations where the new gates would provide the most benefits.

judging on their history of priority of work it shouldnt be surprising.......Well I think some of the replacement priority is focused on getting at least one entrance at every subway/RT station Presto-enabled before the end of the year. Scarborough and East York are still suffering in this regard.

I assume that some stations are easier (faster) to do as their electrics are less in need of relocation/enhancement. I also assume that a great deal of work has already occurred before we see old gates removed.Their replacement priority is super odd from a user perspective - going out of the way to avoid the most heavily used stations where the new gates would provide the most benefits.
