Eliminates tripping hazards, slipping hazards in inclement weather, makes it easier to move supplies across the yard.Is there a point to having yard tracks embedded in concrete?
Given what business are in the area, there is no impact on them with this work. You have the landscape business next to the yard who is most likely doing the most bitching due to the dust.I'm puzzled what local business impacts there'd be from the work at Russell. Both Queen and Eastern (and even Connaught) have had their tracks and switches upgraded in recent years - so this won't impact any streets.
All I can think of is a reduction of local retail sales from having less TTC staff on site!
I don't think that's the right word...photographs
I'll blame auto correct for that oneI don't think that's the right word...
They are building the north sidewalk east of Yonge St and there is part of a platform for TTC in place at Yonge now.As announced last week, the TTC are now putting in the concrete 'base' for the new streetcar tracks on Wellington between Scott & Yonge and, when done, this will complete the rebuilding of the track on Wellington. As they really only started this work yesterday, I suspect it will not be done until later next week.
ROAD RECONSTRUCTION_ SCOTT STREET / WELLINGTON STREET EAST
The City of Toronto will be reconstructing TTC track allowance on Wellington Street East between Scott Street and Yonge Street. To complete this work Scott Street will be closed at north limit of Wellington Street. Right-turns from westbound Wellington Street to northbound Scott Street will be restricted from September 6 to September 19. Through traffic on Scott Street will also be restricted. Road reconstruction will also be taking place at Front Street and Church Street on the south traffic island. Work on the traffic island will take place from September 6th until September 12th
They have done LOTS of excavation and concrete work since these photos. As noted above, this morning they were getting ready to pour the concrete base for the new tracks between Scott & Yonge.They are building the north sidewalk east of Yonge St and there is part of a platform for TTC in place at Yonge now.
No OS up in the area yet.

Shot the photo on Aug 20 and thought I shot it again on Sept 02 that had forming for the sidewalk as we pass it, but did not.They have done LOTS of excavation and concrete work since these photos.

Always best to date photos posted on UT if not shot on the posting date - less confusion!Shot the photo on Aug 20 and thought I shot it again on Sept 02 that had forming for the sidewalk as we pass it, but did not.
