^The best part of that video was seeing the yard full of LRV's - delivered and ready to go.

The station is rather... dark. Especially in the bus terminal concourse connection. I hope the brightness of these lights are adjustable, because I'm not seeing any connection points for additional lighting.

It may just be the exposure setting of the video, but yeah, it does seem dark.

No testing for sometime as a lot of work still needs to be done with the bulk being west of Victoria Park today.
The east end of Golden Mile eastbound platform is the test bed for grass in the ROW with a small section of grass down. To the east of it, there is more dirt in the ROW with sprinklers about 20' apart in the outside rail only for both tracks. A few need to be lower as they are above the rail. There is a full wide concrete walkway about 200' from the station with dirt on both side of it and don't see another in that block area at this time. The dirt ends about haft way where fiber material being lay and anchor down.
The outside rail has the same molding found in concrete road crossing and well anchor down.
Where the LRV's off loaded, part of the wooden deck has been remove to add more concrete to the east than before. A large area on the opposite side of the road crossing has seen exiting concrete removed and new concrete pour. Still a war zone going toward Kennedy Rd for pedestrians as road curb being with with some sidewalk on the south side.
You can use the south sidewalk for the overpass at Kennedy Station area, but handrail waiting to be install on the driveway retaining wall along with landscaping. A barrier still to be built west of the overpass.
More on Kennedy in its own thread later.

Really good to see the idea of the non-concrete (grass/softscape) ROW move towards fruition.

Grass in tracks, in Toronto? Am I in the twilight zone?

These ML concourses don't even look really look like rapid transit stations with those white walls. They look like the interiors of institutional buildings

It's jarring to see streetcar tracks in such a suburban location.

Braking up the concrete with grass was an A+ decision. Small detail but made the world of difference if you ask me.

is there an irrigation system to keep the grass from drying up within months or will there be crews driving down the mile spraying it down ?

From the comment about six or seven above: "To the east of it, there is more dirt in the ROW with sprinklers about 20' apart in the outside rail only for both tracks."

Photos 4-6 show the sprinkler head inside of the outside rail only. Its 180 by X which means one water the other track and the ROW by over lapping. I thought I got a good photo of the head and maker, but miss it.

if you look closly in photo 4 there looks to be a sprinkler head on the far side as well.
