I simply haven't observed this, unless I'm speed walking.
Except at the wheelchair gates. Are you perhaps using the wheelchair gates?

I've used every type of gate at multiple stations. Maybe I just walk faster than you.

It is? I suppose the bare concrete walls have been aptly constructed.

well.. bare concrete is part of the chic minimalist modernist industrial design these days. until water starts to leak in....
but honestly the fact that these stations are ready to go and sitting dormant for months is a clear indicator of poor construction/operations management. the dollars are just flying off these stations with no revenue and the taxpayers are burning their cash to keep the lights water and hvac on for nothing.
well run projects would have had these done with minimal dormant periods like this.

Chaplin Station concourse reminds me of the underground Confed Line stations in Ottawa. Not a compliment, but not the worst thing either.

It has a finished ceiling above the platform AND tracks!
That's impressive.
Usually you see bare space with everything unfinished or painted black above the tracks.

I'm not sure the issue is the gates at all. Sure if you have gates where you scan then walk an additional step or two to go through the gate it may allow for more delay in fare processing without stopping passengers on their tracks, but in the end that isn't necessary if the fare processing is faster. On the bus where there is no gate, I'm still delayed by the fact the Presto device isn't quick enough to detect and process my card. It should be tap and instant beep. Why do I need to tap and hold it there so often? They really need to solve this lag time.

A frenetic pace at Cedarvale station. What else will be there be left to do here once they repave here in late-April?

probably not much, but Cedarvale isn't the critical path station, Eglinton is.

Hoping that they go all out Japanese style on eglinton to finish it asap. But then again it's Canada.... not holding my breath for any urgency

They'll have to delay opening Line 5 to change the name on the Science Centre Station to DeGasperis Condo Station.

Ford cancels the Ontario Line but fulfils his promise of a fast trip between Ontario Place and the Ontario Science Centre by relocating the Science Center to Ontario place.
