Is the road at left of the Aurora overhead view (Wellington, right?) being grade separated in this plan?
The Aurora Station mock-up is unfortunate in how it completely overwhelms the historic station building there.
GO RER rolling stock procurement process is now starting:

These guys essentially write the specs for the tender. If they keep the timeline tight the tender could be awarded by the end of 2017; exciting stuff.
The latest ML Board meeting agenda contains not one bit of news (that I can find, anyways) about the electrification project. We have to keep our enthusiasm for this new fleet procurement in synch with our enthusiasm for hanging wire.
No wire, no RER fleet.
I wonder where the Electrification EA is at?

It is done for the Georgetown South area and the Pearson Spur; it's shovel ready. Haven't heard of them initiating any EAs for other segments, but under that transit project process, it's a pretty quick 180 days. Add 35 if there are objections submitted (e.g. Davenport).

Did they actually have the draft EPR?

Good question. Not really sure. Maybe the media will start asking.
I think they are behind schedule - don't think they are at the draft EPR stage for the other lines - from their public meeting last Feb/March:

I don't even think they have released their Notice of Commencement, and hence the timelines haven't started. It's all just initial work.
