GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

That isn't what the notice says...

Don't think they are burying the 230 kV lines from Pickering NGS. There are local lines in the area (pictured below). The notice also states they will bring the lines to the rail corridor. Again, this has nothing to do with the high-voltage feeder lines from the plant.

My apologies. I was trying to convey the vagaries of the notice without assuming too much or too little. Perhaps a better phrasing would be "Metrolinx is burying at least some, and possibly all, of the wires in a section of hydro corridor in Pickering."

It's not the first utility crossing of the rail line to be buried in that area, either.
I did debate not posting about it. But it is the third construction notice for a utility relocation above a GO line in the last three weeks, and the notice specifically says the work is tied to GO expansion investigative work. Granted, most notices claim that, but still, three notices in a month feels like a lot.
