as long as they complete this entire line reasonably timely. If the entire line is waiting year for 1 station it would be a tremendous loss of an opportunity to gain early revenue
Wondering if they'll use the crossover or storage tracks on the east end to temporary store at least one light rail vehicle for testing purposes? Assuming they'll be able to power up the sections east of Eglinton Station.

From link.
Excuse my lack of knowledge, but why do they have crossover tracks between both Ionview and Kennedy and Ionview and Birchmount? Wouldnt it make more sense to spread them out like the rest of the line?
They do the same thing on the TTC. Warden, Islington, Bayview, Sheppard-Yonge and Pioneer Village all have them.
If things go to hell at a terminal, you need to be able to turn back vehicles in close proximity. It does not help anyone to turn back trains at Pharmacy for example.
Think of it like on the Sheppard Line. If there is a Priority One at Sheppard-Yonge (on Line 1) they can turn trains around at Bayview.

Apparently Crosslinx is suing the province for 134M because of Covid. I must confess, I blame the Premier for many things............but this might seem a stretch.
Public risk, private profit.

This is a desperate attempt for the private sector to not lose money on this project, it won't succeed. Public gain.
