They did the bush clearing for the hwy 88 contract this spring. It’s vaguely related to the bypass given its proximity, but really isn’t the highway itself. @alexb, thanks for that - note that contractors must be rated for a bid of $400,000,000 - this is usually MTO’s upset limit of bid price...

Wentworth is getting repaved in the next few months with the MUP being installed. They are tweaking the design a bit as a part of the project - ie slip lane removal, curb radius reduction, etc., but nothing major. It’s one of the busiest streets in the city so it’s going to remain as a major...

100% it was just an extra density grab by Vranich. You need to remember who is building here.

I will say that it is definitely moving quickly compared to how most roads projects move.

Basically the province is paying for it now and has the deeper pockets to pay the premium for rush work. Why it's good that the Gardiner and DVP got uploaded - they are getting the same treatment 400-series highways get already with premium contracts for lower-disruption construction.

yes, it's not really ideal. It's a product of the era though, it was built in the early 2000's. I've ridden on the connection many times and it works relatively well, even if not perfectly. The trail also did not exist east or west of the Fortino's lot when it was built, so it was done to...

It runs through the parking lot, but doesn't vanish. There is a dedicated trail through the lot...

IIRC the city was supposed to launch an online portal to view development applications (at least new applications) in March, but that got destroyed by the cyber attack. Who knows now when it'll actually launch.

Yup. I'd rather a surface lot than an empty lot.

Always appreciate the drone shots!

ooooof

That looks Excellent

it's classic Metrolinx comms. A whole army of comms staff to reiterate the same basic lines which provide absolutely 0 details or information beyond what is absolutely required.

yes. Not many people living here yet but it is in occupancy.

looks great, but how about they build phase 1 first?

It's honestly almost surreal to see major construction actually underway for the line. It's been so overdue for the City for so insanely long it often felt like it would never actually get built.

lol good luck with that one.

Why would you question this? They are pretty much sold out on two of the towers from my understanding. Is Emblem having problems behind the scenes? I assume sales at the third tower are ridiculously slow.

ugh. Why even bother with Henriquez if you are going to guide them to this type of product? Looks like something Wallman would have put out a decade ago for probably half of the price Henriquez is charging.

My travel time analysis comes from this graph: You can see travel times jump from a pretty consistent 8-9 minutes to 12-13 minutes. This is about a 50% increase in travel time across the entire corridor. The bar charts you show are small snippets of individual sections of the corridor...
