I am assuming that as they did not 'shimmy' Burloak to one side or the other (for which there is plenty of room, especially the eastern side) they are still planning on closing Burloak for a period of time (at some point) to complete the bridge.
I asked a Metrolinx employee about this and they said nothing till at least 2025 due to the ongoing construction on the LE line. Happy to be wrong cause the hour commute to end of the line is killing me.
Im not suprised. Wouldnt suprise if 2026 is realistic
It’s the little details from ML that anger me most. They could have chosen any image of the station but they decided to copy & paste a highly technical one with no legend or description.
Also they claim that it's part of their work to bring service "every 15 minutes or better"? Clearly the existing infrastructure on Lakeshore West can already support 15-minute or better service given that we currently have 15-minute service on weekends and in 2021 we had 15-minute or better service on weekdays.
it's classic Metrolinx comms. A whole army of comms staff to reiterate the same basic lines which provide absolutely 0 details or information beyond what is absolutely required.
They could probably save themselves some time by walking to the western end of the parking lot and peering over the edge…..still, one of the most underdeveloped sites, with all of that spin-off potential along the western perimeters for density housing with great views and (potential) access to the river valley. Mysteries, mysteries.
Speaking of the Guelph siding, some (non-)progress pictures from today. Retaining wall has been done for a long time, but the ballast and track assemblies still lay piled.
Finally they're doing the infrastructure work at West Harbour that Metrolinx claimed they were doing in this video I filmed on the 29th of March 2019:
Great video, and part of the reason I’m so excited the connection work is finally getting done. Saving 9 to 10 mins each direction is so important.
