The city has about 7.5% of Canada's total population and 9% of it's urban population. It seems unlikely that it will only get 3.3% of this fund.
Though other big contenders like the GO Milton RER-like and the VIA HFR could get good chunks of Ontario's portion.

I don't see how VIA HFR has to use money from this fund?

Currently in London and wanted to share some highlights with y'all. I reckon y'all will enjoy them.
PEDs at Paddington
I thought you all may get a shock from this
This is the standard gap between the platform and train at Kensal Green tube.
Because of the age of the station, it cannot accommodate the height of tube trains.
As such, there is a 6 inch gap between the train and the platform.

The summary of the HFR draft RfP included a requirement for a Financial Plan with a "Debt competition plan, financial structure and financial model." Not a conclusive statement that the project will be financed using debt (bonds?) but an indication that at least some of the money should be raised that way. We may know more in November this year, when the preferred proponent is selected to move into co-development phase.

I considered putting this as an update to 316 Bloor West however given this weeks impact on the 510 Spadina Streetcar/Bus I think it belong here. The site is basically unchanged from when I passed by June 24th, and no work active work on the surface.
Couldn't snap a photo today but here's the one I got on the 24th

The 510 is only impacted by that intersection closure because it is a bus. It is currently a bus because there is an expansion of the underground streetcar loop that kicked off as a result of redevelopment of this site.

If you ever visit Japan, everyone brags about the subway in Tokyo but a gap (above or below) several inches from platform level was normal surprisingly. The TTC is actually really good about being consistent.Currently in London and wanted to share some highlights with y'all. I reckon y'all will enjoy them.

Why wouldn't you just lower the platform if the ceiling was too short to raise the train?
