Unfortunately, residents will be getting streetcar level service until they reach either Kennedy in the east, or Science Centre in the west. Still much better than the current bus service, but the city is inept and wont let this line operate to its fullest potential.
It's just as much glass as the TYSSE stations. They just seen to have an one design fit all station on this Line. They reason why they use glass is to create an open and transparent place so people don't lurk behind walls creating a safer environment.

Another site to watch for development is the Scotiabank campus that's nearby since apparently there's a potential sale/lease back in play.
Yes, a la St.Clair ROW and Queenway ROW style."streetcar level service" even though the LRT will operate in dedicated space?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Metrolinx has confirmed that it will not be operating with full transit priority. Also, the context is very similar when you compare it with St.Clair West except that stop spacing in this case is wider.Those are exceptions when referring to “streetcar service.” The context is also very dissimilar, urban small blocks vs suburban larger blocks. Line 5 is also expected to operate with full transit priority and much larger trains.

What's wrong with streetcar level service? Even downtown main streets don’t have dedicated ROW. This is a huge improvement over bus service.Unfortunately, residents will be getting streetcar level service until they reach either Kennedy in the east, or Science Centre in the west.

Ask residents who live along Spadina, Lake Shore Blvd West, and St.Clair for starters what's wrong with streetcar service. They'll give you a nice list of issues.What's wrong with streetcar level service? Even downtown main streets don’t have dedicated ROW. This is a huge improvement over bus service.
