    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Perhaps they are going to use the Transit Card functionality built into Apple/Google Wallets - it keeps the transit card as the default payment and allows tap without having to authenticate on the phone (if you chose this) - I believe it may even allow tap if your phone is on zero charge/low...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I think they will try to get it done and opened for Canada Day... (but I predict they won't say anything about it until late April/early May)

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    On the topic of Yonge/Eglinton LRT station - looks like the secondary entrance at the old Sally Anne site seems to be derelict. Is the plan to just get the main entrance done first and open the secondary entrance after the line opens?

    Looks like a rather strange traffic configuration to-be. kind of reminds me of the Jarvis configurations which are hellish

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Based on what I am seeing, at least Bayview and Eglinton as well as Mount Pleasant and Eg, looks like they will be opening up really soon. They've paved all sides, just putting finishing touches up on the bike lanes out front it looks like.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I don't think there's any secrets they are holding onto.... I just think they've lost all credibility in terms of giving out dates and any date they give us likely nobody will believe anyway. If I was a project manager on this thing, I would at this point be pushing as hard as possible just...

    as a resident of Bayview and Eglinton, I would be delighted just to have our roads back … I hope they can clear them in the next 2-3 months.

    I honestly think that nobody will believe any completion date anyone gives at this point thus the silence. I don’t think we will hear any date given until they are literally down to last finishing touches

    I think we can all agree that driving has become worse... more distractions, more cars, more bikes, etc... etc... but interestingly enough, your chance of being killed in automobile accidents has almost halved in the last 20 years which is due I think in large part to safety devices, airbags...

    But in fairness, didn't they already use this as the last excuse for the delay? They knew all of this the last time they rescheduled the opening, so I don't see how they can re-use the same issue - its just an excuse for mismanagement at this point. I understand issues happen and projects are...

    Also, don't they still have to shift existing Eglinton subway platform several meters north?

    there is no way this will be ready by Jan - maybe September 2023...

    Its impossible to read these reports - they show up in a little tiny window and full screen view doesn't work...

    The decay of downtown Queen Street East

    How about we put drug addicts into rehab facilities, take mentally ill people and put them into treatment centers - isnt that actually what is needed to clean up this area?

    It’s like a religion in TO. On my street half a dozen houses use them to “reserve” their on street parking

    I also see that University and Queen fountain is shut down again... Does anyone know what the issue is with it? It seems like its never opened anymore.

    I hope you're right... hope they are a good deterrent, but I already shockingly encountered huge tagging in one of the washrooms in there...

    Looking at this, I can't help but think that this area is going to get tagged all to hell... :(
