Odd that in Appendix C they mention double-tracking the Milton line from Union to Meadowvale, and then from Meadowvale to Milton. I swear it's already double-tracked most of the way.

Not much to report on the 3rd track between PC and Oakville these days as the New #1 track is now in service as well the new mainline in the yard.
Still a lot of work work at Oakville and Clarkson to be done yet.
New bike shelters going up at Burlington in the transit area. No work on the bridge/walkway from the Platform to the Burlington parking Structure.
I am lost as to why Brampton Platform is still not ready to be open as a week ago.
Roof going up for the Dufferin Jog.
Thanks for the update, drum.
Well, there you have it folks. That is the latest news on the regional transit front from one of the largest metropolitan regions in the G8, with a metropolitan economy of $325 billion and a population growth of 100,000 people per year.
Union Station Revitalization Project - Trainshed roofing is currently being replaced and trackwork in USRC East by Kensington Market is almost complete (expanded track capacity and higher speed switches).Thanks for the update, drum.

GO Transit Rail Service Expansion to Bowmanville - set to proceed, needs to be added to the capital plan after final EA approval.
East Regional Bus Maintenance and Storage Facility - being designed and will be built in advance of service to Bowmanville.
Niagara Peninsula rail service expansion - EA is proceeding, mid-pen highway was cancelled.
Railway Bridge Replacements - Stouffville Corridor - will proceed to allow full-day service to Unionville.
Lots of little projects going on, like parking lot expansions and PRESTO, but I don't really keep track of them all unless I'm interested in the station area.
Seems fine to me for a random 6-week period
In February there will be subway tunnel underway on the University line, Sheppard LRT, Union Station shed, Union Station basement, Union station subway, Queen Bridge, Brock Bridge, Bloor Bridge, Dupont Bridge, Lansdowne Bridge, West Toronto Grade Separation, Humber Bridge, Weston Road Bridge, Denison Road underpass, Strachan bridge, Weston tunnel and grade separation, Weston GO station, Credit Bridge, Dufferin Station Modernization, and the Kipling Station Enlargement all under construction at the same time. In addition we will have received the first of the new subway vehicles. Things have been slow getting started but the contracts are out and things are starting to kick into high gear.
I noticed that next week is a big week on the West Toronto Diamond project. They are pulling up part of the CP line which runs west to north and should have the number of piles remaining to below the 100 mark. I can't wait to see this piling phase completed so they can move on with the construction progress you can see.
Doesn't construction for the Eglinton LRT portals start in February as well? Pape Station modernization is well underway as well, with lots of hoarding on the platform, and digging around the station.
Construction started in September 2009; we have a thread on the subject. http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?4332-TTC-Pape-Station-RenovationI didn't know that Pape was underway... I figured it was stalled like many a TTC project. Any pics of the construction going on?
