Ottawa is learning that the convenience of being able to do that, does not actually exist. They had that plan too, but they have left them connected.

If this line reaches overcapacity (which is not projected for a long time), the gov can grade separate it eventually. That is what LA is now doing with their old LRTs. Not sure how the political climate will be then. But hopefully, attitudes will warm to elevated rail after other ones open in Toronto. (Ontario Line)

Ottawa doesn't always try very hard. They bought hybrid buses years ago and decided it was too much work to actually drive them on urban stop and start routes, so they drove them on express routes and decided they didn't save money. I am not sure they aren't doing the same thing with running shorter trains at night.

I hate the outdoor stations so much 
. Should be 3/4 closed or have some sort of further protection from the elements.

They should take a cue from.... VIVA and build fully covered stations.

Done because the decision-makers are not transit users. Except for photo-ops.

I mean no offence here but could you please stop spamming this in every thread? I doubt it's applicable in this case anyway; it's just a bad design.

So, the councilors along the route regularly take transit?

If they can reach the frequency they claim (every 3-5 minutes), maybe the shelters are not so important...But who knows

With the TTC operating this line, i'm not holding my breath on that form of consistency. Shelters will be critical knowing their operation style.

Don Mills and Eglinton Intersection been place back to what it was before construction stated. Last of the lanes to the east being pour with the rest of the area waiting asphalting.
Only the southbound Don Mills lanes and Eglinton lanes need to be built that will connect to the west-east section already done.
Overhead in place from DVP to Laird Dr including the station by the looks of things.

What about off peak hours? Frequency won't be the same at 10 pm. Even many TTC bus shelters have better weather protection.
