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

    I'm laying low for a while. MX PR team is surprisingly active this summer and doesn't particularly enjoy competition on social media.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Queen-Spadina Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    This looks like an old layout. The design has evolved a lot to accommodate the elevators only option and now there is hardly any space left.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Queen-Spadina Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | HDR

    The interior render shows only the South West access, there are 5 levels of escalators/stairs in total from street level to platform level: 3 E-W to go down the shaft + 1 N-S to turn into the tunnel concourse level + 1 E-W inside the tunnel to get to platform level. In the North East access...

    Toronto Ontario Line: King-Bathurst Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    It's similar in a way that the North shaft will also be the access to underground works. However because of the heritage façade being kept in place they can't erect the same enclosed structure. It'll be open air and mobile crane to be used instead of overhead crane. This is not confirmed but I...

    Toronto Ontario Line: King-Bathurst Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

Since the South shaft will have TOC built on top, the North shaft will be the main access point and ventilation for all underground works, worker will go up and down by elevator (like a coal mine).

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    They probably used the wrong ctb file (customizable color tables) when plotting to PDF. MX has a specific ctb file for all designers and consultants to use. Line 3 is still blue as fas as I know.

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

    I do have access and will leak interesting info in other areas too. Just have to pace it out, hopefully not to be picked up by BlogTO and end up doxing myself.

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

    Sadly no, the project agreement only requires passive protection for future level boarding (see document). That's why there is an extra 3 steps stair at the bottom of the escalators. Whoever did the rendering must have positioned the trains too low.
