Let’s hope!

The link didn’t open. I believe this is being done by core developments but don’t see anything about it on their IG handle?

Great pics but that additional space isn’t all for OL… there are currently only 2 tracks operational for GO/VIA on the eastern section of the rails and bridges and there will ultimately be 4 tracks for GO/VIA +2 for OL. What is being built right now is essentially the room for the additional +2...

Agree and this is the dumbest topic ever. Who knows what life will be like when those few stops (they aren’t in a straight line) will support some Queen street traffic. We don’t know what we don’t know including whether the OL will even ever be completed. Next topic,

Can we debate Laval a little more? Please? Lol jeez. Next topic?

Yes but a project that turns out to be 3x more than estimated is either a lie or ineptitude at its highest order. We would all be fired for understating the cost of a project so egregiously that one can only surmise that it was lying or wilful negligence which is akin to lying.

Easier than Union by BILLIONS of dollars as demonstrated by inept Metrolinx who lied about the OL and said it would cost $9BN and here we are at over $27BN for a choo choo train that will run half of its journey outside at a cost of over a $BN per kilometre but somehow Alto is going to deliver...

It’s literally going to have to run nearly the entirety of the OL. Y’all act as if it’s not coming into Toronto lol

When half of it is NOT tunnelled and in fairly sparse areas - yes I can - especially when Alto will need to navigate a portion of the exact same route. When has the Gov not understated infrastructure projects? How are you surprised by the notion that it’s likely already understated by 50%...

Silly estimation. The cost of owning a car is 2-3x what it was 20 years and that’s not about to change

The $80-90BN budget is a dream. Metrolinx is going to spend $30BN on 15.8km of Ontario line. How will 900km+ cost only 3x more when they’ll literally need to build hundreds of bridges? Gotta love Gov estimates!!

Guys - it’s going to terminate at Summerhill and the LCBO becomes the station. Mark my words.

The good news about metrolinx’ latest failure on Finch is we may actually get to transit priority light systems like the rest of the world got in 1993. Woot woot!

Let’s just all pray the OL will actually be operational soon. It needs to be operational before we can speculate on traffic patterns and make lasting decisions. In the meantime. Hope the city can kill off street parking on all streetcar routes and move on with things….

I really like it now that it’s done.
