    Toronto St Lawrence Market North | 25.3m | 5s | City of Toronto | Rogers Stirk Harbour

    Looked like the floor inside was being cleaned up and possibly sealed today. Also the connection to St. Lawrence Hall looks nearly complete on the outside.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    You will tend to see it when the sidewalks are very busy downtown. As far as dedicated cycle tracks go there aren’t many I’ve been on far in the west, but I occasionally see runners in cycle tracks on Queens Quay, Wellington, Sherbourne, Esplanade/Mill St.

    Return to office discussion

    Experienced this first hand, I was always impressed by our productivity but I knew it wasn’t sustainable. It was stressful. I quit last summer when they began a 3 day RTO. The Toronto offices didn’t have enough space so you only got a permanent desk if you came in 5 days a week!

    Toronto The Whitfield | 130m | 39s | Menkes | Giannone Petricone

    Curtain walls going up on 11. Makes sense to follow 10, they are the most tucked away from construction now. From NW:

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Slight comprehension error – he said above ground transit is coming in at a reasonable cost. The only relevant figures to use for this are from Finch LRT project since its cost represents an entirely above ground system. $2.5B, plus any unannounced overrun, got us 10km of track, a fleet and...

    Toronto East Harbour Transit Hub | 14.35m | 1s | Metrolinx | Metrolinx

    The platforms will span over Broadview Ave extension, not Eastern. This is the only accessible spot for interesting East Harbour photography as of now.

    They got a lot more done in the last couple hours. I took this shot just before the shadow is cast across the painted panels.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Exhibition Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Yes, the tunnel will only connect to the central platforms and OL maintenance access. It’s otherwise a bypass tunnel, it will likely be used more often for non users just crossing the tracks. I don’t understand what was expected of a tunnel. It’s just meant to move people. As soon as you add...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Looking at the completed median guideway on Eglinton, you’ll find that barriers are only placed next to curves and special track sections (crossovers). The purpose is presumably to protect road users from train derailment, essentially a light crash wall. I haven’t reviewed enough of the...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    My best guess is the average temperature range, year round, is much slimmer in Lyon. Seems to be the case from a quick google search. Power lines can expand and sag a lot at high temperatures. If the catenary is strung such that it’s taut at say -15 degrees, then it will be very droopy at +30...

    Guelph-Cambridge Initial Business Case - Battery Multiple Units now proposed

    Looks fine on aerial but in reality that’s a big descent from UofG to Guelph central on Gordon St, up to 6%. It’s also an awfully slim ROW. If the university ever requires a higher order connection to downtown, it will likely need a new east/west ROW. Since this is a Guelph related thread I’ll...

    Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

    Correction: south from Richmond. That is to say the transit exclusive lane will run southbound to Adelaide but no further.

    I thought so too but the angles don’t make sense unless the photo was very cropped.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    And is a station at Lakeview going to pop up overnight? No, obviously we expect it will be delivered in conjunction with electrification and corridor expansion. What’s important to understand is in the long term, as we continually expand transit, this one corridor gets two birds stoned at once...
