Oddly enough, Spadina thru King has had a white bar on its transit signal as long as Google Maps street view goes back (2007). I’ve only noticed it occasionally being used for thru movements in the past year.

Hmm, I figured this meant the new bridge/concourse may open for public passage before it’s complete. I can’t see any reason to demolish the temple bridge any sooner. Now looking at some of your previous drone shots, I’m seeing the biggest crane on rails would pass right through the space where...

Unless there was suddenly a change of plans, the temporary bridge isn’t being removed until the new station bridge is open. The new station is far to the east of the temporary bridge, they are on opposing sides of Atlantic ave.

Yep, glass in your shot reaches 77-78 and the band will go across 81.

I just watched this video reposted by Oh The Urbanity! on YouTube. It’s a good look at abstract components of Montreal’s REM. Final product aside (for all its shortcomings), the contracts and public policy choices to help develop and deliver this massive project with such haste makes for an...

Cool! This would appear to be for the tail tracks as the station doesn’t reach this side of the Loblaws driveway. Pretty sure you’re looking at the green filter fabric on the fence. It is funny looking how it falls off to the left.

This isn’t a sound wall, this is a T-wall / retaining wall. The trains run above these walls so locomotive sounds are diffracting right over the walls to your position. The sound walls (if built) go above these walls. General idea is roughly captured by this diagram (source). Not saying...

Looks ridiculously expensive to me. When compared to what could be accomplished at grade, the benefits of going underground look limited. Also, if anything should be separated from traffic it’s the LRT. So my brain hurts thinking about the addition of a level crossing at Hammerson drive, where...

Though I appreciate the benefits, I suspect the scope of a first phase would be limited to Park Lawn. Reaching HBS has great benefits and could be procured as one or two relatively straightforward contracts. I think anything beyond will take a lot more consultation, and be a lot more...

The Park Lawn GO station will surely be built before an Ontario Line extension is considered. The current station design reserves room for two future tracks on the North side of the existing 4 tracks. A good reference here: Since there is no room for two additional GO tracks through...

I’m impressed how much merchandise they’ve stuffed in this tiny unit!

Lobby glass:

Well, we really don’t know anything about this station. Metrolinx doesn’t even know. I truly don’t know or care what is delivered here. But compared to this post’s wishful thinking delusion, the fins are at least an example of cosmetics that could realistically be applied after the fact, so CF...

As promised, a few shoddy screenshots of the 3D model: As I mentioned previously, lots of similarities to other stations with the butterfly roof and vertical fins. See: Flemingdon Park Station Render, Riverside-Leslieville Station Render

According to submitted architectural docs and 3D models, the OL station part of East Harbour is actually meant to look very similar to the other above-ground OL stations, If you can’t access them I’ll upload a screenshot or two of the 3D model from my computer when I’m home tonight.

Pedestrian bridge at Wallace Ave, facing north. Just past Bloor station platforms.

The architectural documents are much less subject to change when it’s already well under construction. At best we can hope for purely cosmetic additions, maybe some nice big trees in the plaza outside. Also Metrolinx isn’t involved with the delivery of East Harbour.

Someone showed me this on Tik Tok and I asked them for a screenshot: It’s a real shame to see cardinal sins like this even in such a beautifully architected building.

Surely that bus should be stopping in the bay back there, no?
