Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

I don’t see Metrolinx doing any better under any government. They were being useless under the Liberals and continued under the PCs.

But in any case, it doesnt matter for the case of the Eglinton Line which continues to be indefinitely delayed with Metrolinx pissing more money away there as the days go on.

How is Metrolinx pissing away money by telling a contractor to fix their stuff or they don't get paid what was agreed to?

That's not what ML (and TTC) have been doing.

They have been doing quality checks and asking the contractor to modify things that they feel are out of spec, as they now see it..

Afterwards, they will have a discussion with the contractor who may allege that the original work was performed within spec (as the contract originally required) and the "corrective" work is actually a change order. Or the result of unforeseens that the contractor didn't agree to when the contract was executed. ML may or may not agree. They may negotiate a settlement or they may enter a dispute process. The contractor may end up eating the cost of the correction.... or ML may have to eat some.

The premise that a P3 contract is a fixed price affair that holds the contractor to eating all changes and corrections is a myth. Lots of lawyers have yet to weigh in.

There been many of these types of notices for the line and it is not a Metrolinx issue, but the contractor

One of the underappreciated positives of this line will be significantly improved access to Sunnybrook and ET Seton park. Especially given how overcrowded the island ferries are.

....I dont think the Eglinton Crosstown will relieve the Island ferries or will serve as an alternative to people visiting the Toronto Islands.

I think what he means is that it will allow people to use Sunnybrooke Park as an alternative transit accessible greenspace to the Toronto Islands.

Frankly, we need better access to Sunnyside and the Humber river area.

If drivers get to keep the Gardiner, the least we could do is get the waterfront west line moving pronto, and give better access to all of that parkland.

The only plan I know of that was approved EA wise in 2010 for building the Lake Shore West Line that was part of moving the Lake Shore further north with the LRT in the middle. Until all the bridges are rebuilt over the Gardiner and the rail corridor, you cannot look at the Lake Shore until then. Then, where is the money for it??

The City has kill the idea of the Queensway LRT.

Other than that, no idea where you are going to find funds and lines to do what you want.
