Don't give them any ideas, we'll be seeing construction start on streetcars...I mean LRT..... up Vic Park, Weston and Bathurst should the erudite planning intelligentsia of the GTA catch up to the planning norms of the Germany in the 70's.
The station at Don Mills, yes. Formerly known as Science Centre.
I think what needs to be said here is that the current Don Valley Station alignment for the Crosstown is a hold over from the Transit City days as putting the station underground was done to increase the lines speed through the intersection. Here it would have also had an interchange with the Don Mills LRT which was to be at the road level with a centre platform and possibly a direct connection from the platform to stations mezzanine.
Huh, I was under the impression that the change happened later after the DRL started being planned and they assumed an interchange with the subway. Good to know.

If that's the date hopefully they get signal priority sorted out by then and the line will open with full signal priority.TTC and Metrolinx battle over Eglinton Crosstown LRT date at tense private meeting | Globalnews.ca

Why is Line 4 on Sheppard so disproportionately long (vs where it goes in reality)?
"Ottawa LRT" has become the code word for infinite & indefinite delays to this line. I guess the fear is that "Eglinton Crosstown" doesn't become the same. (hint, it's too late guys)TTC and Metrolinx battle over Eglinton Crosstown LRT date at tense private meeting | Globalnews.ca

Creating this one full-system map with the station lights for all lines was an interesting move, as I guess the same one will be deployed on all subway and LRT vehicles (eventually?). So all the lights not on your current line will just stay unlit? Will Line 2 will be getting these as well? Up until now they have always just had maps with no lights or movement indication. I thought that had to do with the tech on those older cars though.
Because the LED boards were seemingly designed to make the system seem more expansive than it is.
I guess the lesson with Finch is that even with so many years of delays, the opening can still be rushed. To paraphrase Dirk Gently, rather than arriving five years late and flustered, it would be better all around if the LRT were to arrive five years and a few extra month late, but triumphantly in command.TTC and Metrolinx battle over Eglinton Crosstown LRT date at tense private meeting | Globalnews.ca

Line 4 was always roughly geographically correct to Line 2. It's really Line 5 (a new addition to the map) and the eastern end of Line 2 that messes it up. And they probably didn't even think to fix that.
Line 4 actually does go that far compared to Line 2. Don Mills is just about at Woodbine.
