Could be, that said I do not recall ever seeing in Toronto a tower crane installing a climbing frame after the fact without a significant dismantling of crane. It begs the question why wasn't the climbing frame installed when this tower crane was first erected just months ago?

At some point in the near future the existing tower crane will need to be moved or altered to be able to climb with the tower section.

Given the long tail track that would be required west of Sheppard West Station to connect Line 4 to Wilson yard, they should extend the line at the surface level with a terminal station beside Downsview Park Station providing direct connection to Barrie G0 line, a second connection to Line 1 and...

Maybe. That said it seems counterproductive and costly to add that section after-the-fact unless this is not the final position of this tower crane. I envisioned that if they had a tower crane attached externally to the tower portion of building it would have been atop the southside lower roof...

I never saw a climbing cage installed without some dismantling given the cage usually fits over the stem portion of the tower crane?

Strange but the new tower crane assembled and attached to building's exterior has no climbing cage? For the moment it would suggest that this tower crane or its position will change again at some point?

Today the tower crane is being raised with two new added sections.

Time to raise the tower crane with some additions to its stem?

The equipment on the Ontario Line (5 car train) will be vastly different from Line 5 or Edmonton's Valley Line. A much higher capacity is required.

The real mark of upward progress is when they will need to raise the tower crane which I believe will be for the first time since it was re-erected to its current position to climb along on the south exterior side of the tower. That should be coming soon.

So each floor in the centre core portion of the tower to this point is removeable decking which will continue up to levels 20/21?

Yes, I see the condo elevators on the plan but usually the shafts are much more visible during the construction process which is not the case here.

Where is the elevator shaft for the hotels floors and condo floors higher up?
