This is my guess.

TBM travelling speed is scheduled at 17-20m per day.

It's Corktown, not Moss Park, a typo from me.

Pretty typical for any type of consultancy quotation, the formula goes like this: (Number of changed drawings x billable hours per drawing) x (Jr Drafter rate + Sr Drafter rate + Engineer/Architect rate + Lead Engineer/Architect rate + Project Coordinator rate + Project Manager rate + Director...

On another note, TBM launch date is April 23rd.

Price tag for the name change: - Corktown: $200,000 - Queen Spadina + King Bathurst: $170,000 - Riverside-Leslieville: unknown - Other stations (indirect impact): $60,000 Please don't ask why the numbers don't add up. They are from each station designer's quotation.

From a project management point of view, this means the System & Intergration contractor is involved and their design has evolved to the point where 3D model is provided for coordination. Architectural designer can not add OCS to renders out of thin air. Doesn't tell much about timeline but also...

I think you are right. Found the same design for the pier of the pedestrian bridge at Bloor as part of the Barrie line MUP. I believe this is the Construction Notice for that pier next to No Frills, predate the one I posted above.

Also found this Construction Notice, looks like the Rail Path Extension is really coming this time. https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/v1775136253/Images/Metrolinx/Toronto West/Barrie_Rail_Corridor_Improvements_April_17.pdf

The location of the first pier doesn't line up with the bridge drawing.

The bridge looks nice. It serves its intended design purpose. The roadway underneath it was only closed for one Saturday during construction. I don't understand what triggered the anger that last 2 pages ?

The RFQ is from the contractor, not Metrolinx. Believe it or not there is no expertise in North America for this, and yes it has to be custom built. Each supplier even has different design. 2 Italian suppliers with manufacturing facilities in Indonesia and India, 1 Spanish supplier with...

Fun fact: these cavern formworks are custom built in India and shipped here for assembling.

Looks pretty close to the render:

The city mentioned the OL construction at Queen as the main reason for the delay of construction start in 2030 which i think is too convenient. Is there any temporary options that could be considered ? bollards, planters, street furnitures, loading zones.... ? pedestrian desparately need more...
