The new bridge being poured is being referred to as the Ontario Line bridge, but if there is supposed to be 4 GO tracks, won't some of the new GO tracks need to go on the new bridge?

Fingers crossed. Being able to get downtown without needing to detour down to Commissioners street would save a good chunk of time.

For Lakeshore East, is that 3 additional trains in the morning, and 3 additional trains in the evening?

This is still the plan right? In order to rebuild the ramps over Lakeshore Blvd east the realignment would have to be scrapped, which would replace the development along the Keating Channel with a rebuilt Gardiner. Not to mention the McCleary District and East Harbour developments along...

This nice trail on the north side of Lake Shore Blvd appears like it will cross over the new bridge. Is there any hope that it won't just dead end in a mess of Gardiner-DVP connection relocation construction work for the next 5 years. It would be great to have a trail to get downtown without...

What is the most recent estimate for getting the third track laid and operational? Is that the barrier to increasing service levels on Lakeshore? Presumably not, because they have no issues with every 15 minute service during rush hour and weekends.

What's the purpose of the smaller building to the north connected by the covered bridge?

Does anyone know the estimates for when the 400 widening will be opened? The southernmost section appears to be nearing completion.

Is it safe to say that any bike path that crosses the new Lakeshore bridge to avoid dipping down to Commissioners street is a long long ways away. Moving the Gardiner north being the main obstacle?
