it might be mounting points for the facade finishes they want to install. This is what they have on the renders for the LSE joint corridor

No it’s not that - that section is already complete. The photo I commented on is where the station will actually be it just seems to be a really slow and arduous process to create these boxed in mounts. Hopefully constructions accelerates as there is no below ground tunnelling happening here yet these construction practices are taking longer than a dig would have taken in another country. Again hope the elevated stations are built and finished much faster than those that are underground since the complexity for on or above ground stations is far lower when building on or above ground….

Excited that the northern sidewalk at Queen/ De Grassi looks like it’ll be reopening soon and revealing the nice wider, brighter and taller realm under the revised bridges in the east end…. Now let’s see how quickly the station can get built behind that new wall / fence! Goodbye to the pedestrian death trap that’s there now!

Next job is to remove the abutment next to/on top of the south sidewalk.

The abutment on the South side from the old bridge is no more.

Would love to know if anybody has — or finds out any detail of when we can expect to see the elevated stations take shape? Would love to see the riverside structure in by end of 26 or early 27??!!!

Looks like Mx has abandoned this work site. Dammit, Riverside is going to be under construction right until the end aren’t we? I just wish they could priortize the impact on communities to help them get thru the mess and disruption when construction is this close to homes and businesses… East Harbour on the other hand or some of the other elevated stations could go slower given the vast open areas around them.

The LSE corridor early works contract is coming to a close. The contractor (Dufferin et al) has prepped the site for handoff and soon the next contract will be executed (stations & guideway).
That handoff may or may not occur before the remaining fill + retaining walls go in, between Eastern and Gerrard. Those gaps may remain for construction vehicle access.
One hell of an overstatement. This is arguably the closest station to completion, it has the least remaining concrete to pour.
The current impact is one less lane each way, where cars are usually parked. Sorry you can’t overtake the streetcar here anymore!

You obviously don’t live here so zip it. Nobody asked you and with zero sign of ANY presence or ANY update from Mx I am sorry if my assumption is that it’s going to sit there for a while longer. There is literally NO workers or sign of any progress. I hope I’m wrong, but thanks for defending years and years of mess in MY community.

...anecdotal experience and what is actually going on are oft not the same thing though. And shite posting about it doesn't really change that fact.
