Big Chicago 'L' Train vibes.

Needs more steel and wood and less concrete and glass.

Sure, but do we want wooden platforms and elevated track structures made of steel spanning the entire width of a street? I much prefer the more slender concrete elevated guideways that Vancouver developed for the Skytrain. Some things are better left in the past.

I gotta say I'm glad we've finally embraced an elevated line here. People are afraid of it being visible but it works fine in Vancouver and it'll work fine here.

I wonder what those nubs/vents(?) are on thd roof - there are so many.
Don Valley Station rendering has them too.

I’m hopeful this elevated section of the Line 3 — along with Line 5 between Mount Dennis and Scarlett — triggers a paradigm shift around elevated rail in this city. It is a globally proven way to expand higher-order transit far faster and at far lower cost than tunnelling everything. In many ways, the Ontario Line is serving as a real-world proof of concept inside the 416.
