The 511 is going to Union Station and there are buses for the 509 route. I couldn't find anything on TTC.ca regarding planned construction. Anyone know?

Fleet Street going to get a new dedicated ROW as the tracks are falling apart and Fleet will be one way eastbound east of Stadium Rd with right turns from Bathurst onto Lakeshore being permitted. I didn't think it would happen until next spring but perhaps it is starting now.

Service Unlikely to Resume on Fleet Street Until Reconstruction Complete
Although no official word has come from the TTC, that we’ve heard, it appears that streetcar service on Fleet Street is at an end for the next two months. The temporary looping arrangements of 509 Harbourfront to Wolseley and 511 Bathurst to Queens Quay and Spadina have been done away with, and the two routes have been combined, providing direct service between Bathurst station and Union, to the benefit of those living on Queens Quay between Bathurst and Spadina, who now have more service to Union Station, and an option to head north on Bathurst, transfer free.
Shuttle buses continue to ply Queens Quay and Fleet Street from Spadina to Exhibition Loop, and this is likely to continue until early this summer. The planned reconstruction of the tracks on Fleet Street in May will replace the dilapidated trackage with smooth, well-built private right-of-way, and fast moving streetcars once the service is restored.

According to Steve Munro's site, a streetcar derailed there last week. This track had been scheduled for reconstruction, but apparently was in even worse shape than than thought.

I can imagine this new routing being quite popular, likely more popular than the old route to the Exhibition other than during special events.

blame TO Hydro - if they hadn't said "oops we're not ready" that track would have been rebuilt last year.

On a sidenote it would have been cool if the Dufferin bus stopped at Exhibition station.
I was mislead and ended up going on a trek.

I think I've seen a 512 running along Queens Quay to Bathurst station too. Is that new or just temporary?
