Etch - a - sketch art!

What makes even less sense to me is that Metrolinx postponed announcement of awarding the FinchLRT contract because they wanted to include vehicles into the bids. They did this instead of using the bids which only contained the construction costs and adding another bid for the vehicles - OK...

Wonder why it's taking forever to get the cladding on this!

I'm worrying about the exact same thing. I wonder why progress has been so slow at this station, If i recall correctly, it had a head start (in terms of percent completed) compared to the other stations.

The article in The Star says about 40 minutes to Union, which sounds about right. So minus a bit off from there for a good estimate.

I can confirm Enbridge has started work here. Just hoping momentum keeps building...

Thanks for the credit @PMT and good work for tracking down the renders from Icon. Excited to see this intersection transform! So far planned for this intersection is: this site and haven developments university heights project. At sentinel and finch, there is a huge tower in the park infill...

Unable to create a new thread on this in the buildings area but it looks like the finch west lrt might be starting new development in the keele/finch south-east corner: http://ctndevelopments.com/1315-finch-ave-west/

That would be one solution. Although I'd much rather prefer the highway taken back by the province and all tolls removed. Seems to be more in line with the rest of of city :)

If it wasn't a toll road then there probably would be no problem.

Howard moscoe has written an article on an interesting idea for mitigating truck traffic. I like like idea but only if it would work well with the existing bike trails and green gardens http://www.downsviewadvocate.ca/2015/10/a-disaster-waiting-to-happen/ Also I can comment how the BRT along...

Having just purchased a house in the area I am very pleased to see development occurring here. The new finch west subway station and the finch west lrt should provide a catalyst for development. I was sad to learn that el-ad sold the fountainhead properties which had been approved for 8 6-12...

Sorry to revive this old thread but wondering what happened to this promising project. Is it put it ice? Wondering why the sold it in the first place as well. Would be nice if anyone has anything to add to th discussion.
