I didn’t expect it to open, but I do think it would be nice to hear from TransEd, now that the cable installation looks complete.

Did you expect it to open by today? They haven’t fully completed the independent safety certification process yet.

At this point I don’t expect it to open in general.

 

[trevorhayden]

Have they even started the safety certification process yet?

 

[Canadian 001]

I think it will open... In Q4 2025/ Q1 2026

Couple of work trucks on the elevated trackway over coronet/argyll. Didn't see any LRV's out

Trains were out testing downtown yesterday during the commute and throughout the day. Hadn't seen that in a while.

It can't be good for the public getting used to trains running when they aren't running regularly though. I noticed during Folk Fest at the top of Connors that people weren't even checking for trains anymore. While it was likely they weren't running, probably still good to at least look for other work vehicles on the tracks, etc.

No matter what happens, I'm completely sure that transportation along the alignment is going to be far safer than prior to the LRT.

The Sun and Ed Journal types will find outlandish ways to call every conflict a safety issue, all while ignoring car deaths and injuries in this city.

Saw the first LRV in a while at Bonnie Doon today.

Have they even started the safety certification process yet?

Yes. They have started the process. I believe they were quite close to certification, but opted to replace cables now. Hopefully sometime in Q4 it will open. But who knows

Media update scheduled for tomorrow.

Media update scheduled for tomorrow.

Now the cables in the LRVs need to be redone
Jk... I hope
Any idea what time the media thing is at?

 

[awstott]

Or the overhead catenary has issues and needs to be redone.... We've already seen some recent additions. Hoping not but with these clowns one never knows.

Media update scheduled for tomorrow.

Where was this confirmed?

I’d say how mass transit integrates itself around other infrastructure is vital to whether or not it will be more or less safe.

I question if it is more safe around the Bonnie Doon area. Considering the preliminary planning stages called for elevated sections in this area. But, at least they saved some money.

I saw something on Global News tonight.
