Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

Ive noticed that the pole lamps in the eastern portal of the Science Center station has been on 24/7 since they were installed at the beginning of the year. Did they forget to program it to turn off during the day? Wired it to the wrong circuit?
 
Eglinton Ave between Weston Rd and Black Creek Dr in the process of being rebuilt with the north side bring done first. Most of the sidewalk and curb is in place with a large barrier wall in front of the Weston main entrance.

Sidewalk on the south side being rebuilt from the NO Frill driveway to Black Creek as well part of the driveway. By the look, there will be traffic lights install at the NO Frill driveway as you can see cable locations in the current medium.

Curb pour for right hand turning at Weston Rd.

Looks like Eglinton will be reduce as the curb on the north side are a fair distance from the sidewalk.

Work in process for the plaza at the main Weston Rd entrance to Weston Rd.

They should do a drone video showing how the buses would navigate the roadway to and from the terminal.
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.

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.

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
