Hurontario LRT's the third one.

Fourth time's the charm?

My bad if they weren't. I know that opening fail is the reason they've delayed the crosstown's so much.

With full architectural plans out for Ex station, I would bet money on it being the final design.

Do you have a link handy? Love to see it.

MX wasn't involved, but a lot of the same players are in the Crosslinx consortium as RTG that built the O-Train

Also, they're starting the process of a new crane installation. This one will be closer to the portal, whereas the first one is for the North entrance building.

"Stepping up" the voltage through transformers for long distance transmission if I remember correctly. Not sure about the scientific terms for it.
