Market street now closed.

I scribbled over top of an Apple Maps screenshot. Is this basically what we're getting from the finished southbound project?

Caught my eye as well. Doesn’t look like any docs are publicly available yet, so we’ll see soon. Also just saw this on comments of the preceding quayside front page article:

Toured a unit here for a friend last week, east facing view on 26th floor if I recall correctly. Great view to the east and north from here. Northeast: East: Southeast, soon to be blocked by Burke Condominiums:

There are two cement plants, Lafarge and Essroc. Essroc has moved their operations to their new plant on Leslie slip, they were kind of forced out since the new bridges cut off their port access in the Keating channel. I’m not sure what WT’s plans are for the old silos - whether to clean them up...

It was really fun, guided tour was very nerdy on the controls engineering. Caught a few photos and vids, I can dump somewhere on here if there’s interest.

From last evening, Friday May 24th

Another dump of Ontario Line content: SvN Architects office is open for Doors Open TO, they are behind the design for many of the Ontario Line’s TOCs. They have cross-sectioned miniatures of each on display today and tomorrow along with many other projects. Exhibition: King-Bathurst...

~4% grade over the valley, no special track work, and only one curve between stations with 200+ metre turn radius. The westbound train may reach its highest speed on this section. Drawings of the rail profile can be found here.

This discussion elsewhere got me thinking about how much one of these city bikes would cost if sold individually to consumers, can anyone make an educated guess? Just curious, not looking to buy. I only ride recreationally and I’m unfamiliar with the market. I’m generally satisfied with the...

Your point stands about value engineering. However the criteria for this Don Valley bridge valued an unobtrusive design with low visual impact more than a cheap design. Consider that the lower Don Valley bridge for this same project has a much more stand out design, because the setting is more...

Render 2 is jarring.

No, in the Gardiner rehab plan there will be a phase of work from Grand Magazine to York. No work from Strachan to Grand Magazine, nor York to Jarvis.

In addition to size needs, there are geological differences that dictate the choice of TBM. All things considered (disassembly & reconstruction, storage, coordination between long-term, time sensitive projects), there is complexity, risk, and only potential moderate savings from reuse.

Approved site entrance 😁

I’m not sure exactly which part you’re referencing but I think you’re probably seeing some part of the newly constructed temporary retaining walls. Full context: They are clearing utilities, tree roots and debris that will impact soil stability under/next to the new tracks. Soil under live...

Lakeshore East Joint Corridor Mega-Post (Pt 2/2) 7. Near First Ave Old building demolished here, now a staging area and eventually a parkette next to the end of Gerrard Station. Second picture shows the hill I’m standing on for the first picture. 8. Gerrard Station from west The existing west...

Lakeshore East Joint Corridor Mega-Post (Pt 1/2) I biked around Leslieville to check out the corridor work, starting at the Queen bridge heading up to the future Gerrard portal. I made a map to establish the approx. location of each perspective I captured. Queen bridge from west: Not much to...

Yes, we will eventually see dedicated platforms (+ some terminus platforms) and shorter trains than we’re used to in Union. To improve wayfinding there may be explicit indication of the position along a given platform. Whether that be labelled A/B/C, york/bay, or west/east we can’t be sure. It...

Weird office/industrial block: 405 Eastern Ave 3 tall storeys but looks about twice as many from street level. Thanks for the drone shots of the corridor work. This weekend I’m going to bike around and snap a few pics from the ground. It is a neat/complimentary perspective that emphasizes the...
