Seen on Symington Ave. earlier this evening.
No it is not a legacy thing. Current MX CEO Lindsay frequently states in press conferences that there will be a bedding in period after substantial completion is declaredAre we even sure the "bedding in period" is still a thing? That was a Phil Verster legacy. The Global News article suggests the line could open soon after RSD is successfully completed.
Iirc there was mention of the bedding in period taking at least a month of zero issue service simulation and if there's issues they may restart that clock....No it is not a legacy thing.

I've lived in the area for 8 years, and commute through there every day, both ways. I frequently go through there on weekends, too. I have never experienced what you are describing.Every time I’m trying to get through that section in the afternoon, it takes 5 minutes to get to Brentcliffe and another 4-5 to get to Leslie if I’m not making that left turn. That third lane ends at Brentcliffe which forces all the cars to merge. The backlog from the Leslie left turn backs everything up. The 88 still has to go through that mess.
It's been planned for a while, there was some work on the intersection that was actually being completed under the extension contracts because of the cycle track diversion.The most unexpected change seems to be moving northbound Keele buses into Keelesdale terminal, would this not be considered part of the project? I'm surprised they're able to do that, especially since the terminal has been complete for a while now.
Not before, but on. But that is the current plan, yes.So, they could be prepared to open Line 5 Eglinton before the next board period on Nov 16?
How does that timeline work when the city says it takes around 14 days to declare substantial completion? Nov 7th + 14 gets us way past Nov 16Not before, but on. But that is the current plan, yes.

Typical Google Traffic does indicate some issues weekday afternoons heading eastbound.I've lived in the area for 8 years, and commute through there every day, both ways. I frequently go through there on weekends, too. I have never experienced what you are describing.

In the mornings it’s fine. I passed by around 10:30am this morning. It was pretty clear but once it reaches the afternoon, it can be backed up before Laird.Typical Google Traffic does indicate some issues weekday afternoons heading eastbound.

Once they achieve 3 consecutive weeks of RSD without any problems they can technically start the process of certifying Substantial Completion.How does that timeline work when the city says it takes around 14 days to declare substantial completion? Nov 7th + 14 gets us way past Nov 16
Please correct me if I am not understanding the timelines correctly
I suspect the RSD and bedding in period will happen concurrently.don't think there is enough time in November to finish the bedding in period
Can confirm from Mx that RSD started yesterday.
