And while we're at it, is there any plan to remove the plates welded onto the tracks on Victoria St, and return the Dundas Square to Shuter and Shuter to Queen blocks to service(able short turn usage)? Great fanfare on converting the overhead at Dundas Square and re-doing the special work there two or three years back only to have the Massey construction and and these plates get in the way. Now that the construction is winding down, what comes next?

Victoria is an ongoing mess because there was some sort of conflict between Hydro and another utility and Hydro sued them for installing something where they shouldn't have. But, I saw on TOInview that the hydro work is now scheduled so that may be solved. However, Victoria will be partly blocked north of Queen due to Ontario Line construction so I doubt any track work will be done until after that's done. Certainly the southbound track will be blocked.

Today is a fun day at Warden Station. Anyone know what would have happened to close 8 out of 9 bus bays?

Pigeons from Islington have relocated, and they are NOT happy!

Maybe the concrete slab above the bus bays is about to collapse a la Islington.

Speaking of, still no sign of any demolition at Islington

No real site plan in place for the new terminal or the development nor a tender for the terminal.Speaking of, still no sign of any demolition at Islington
The current terminal remains until the new one is ready.

Or until it collapses during rush hour killing people.

Not going to happen as the buses are not on the roof slab an more. TTC did some reinforcement a number of years ago as well close down 2 bays before Mississauga left.

On the Islington station mess, here's what I pulled from this document:
Islington Station accessibility: Magnitude and complexity of the bus terminal re-
development and interface with existing station may delay full station accessibility. Site
Plan Approval (SPA) by the City is required by mid 2022. Approvals by Hydro One,
Toronto Water, and CreateTO and completion of design related work including internal
acceptance is required by 2022. Comments on SPA are outstanding by City
Transportation. Mitigation: Continuing to investigate opportunities for advancing new
accessibility entrance and platform elevator through construction staging. Agreement
required between the City to mitigate municipal requirements in order to achieve SPA
approval on time.
So in short, I have no idea when construction is actually supposed to start on the new terminal. Maybe beginning of 2023 if we're lucky?
