Braking up the concrete with grass was an A+ decision. Small detail but made the world of difference if you ask me.
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."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 ?
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.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 ?
if you look closly in photo 4 there looks to be a sprinkler head on the far side as well.Photos 4-6 show the sprinkler head inside of the outside rail only.

To be clear, each track outside rail has sprinklers that will water the other track and ROW at about 20' apart.if you look closly in photo 4 there looks to be a sprinkler head on the far side as well.
Kind of unrelated to the grass topic currently going on (which look great btw).... Is anyone else concerned about capacity issues on the Eglinton LRT within the end of the decade? Another 10 towers proposed a few days ago between 42-52 stories at eglinton and wynford. Also another development on the south west corner of don mills and eglinton got proposed yesterday (see link below) we don't know the number of towers but would be a safe bet it will be at least 10 of them considering the space there.
The condensation from the light rail vehicles' air conditioning will also add some water to the grass.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 ?
The ones I saw in Europe had real grass^Where other properties have green row’s - are they typically grass? As opposed to some other type of vegetation that tolerates that environment better and is easier to maintain?

It is illegal to use artificial grass on the front yard, since it is considered a "hard" surface by a Toronto by-law. Even if it includes proper drainage under it.^Where other properties have green row’s - are they typically grass?

Think of the light rail vehicles as weed wackers. They'll mow the grass down, along with anyone else in the way.But will there be a rail mounted lawn mower?
