With the amount of things happen to this area over the next few years, there will be more posting for it here and to keep it from TTC catch all.
Looks like the the time line is slipping and going to take longer to do from what I was told today. A few known dates have become unknown or a time line for them.
2 police officers on duty at the intersection waving traffic through the intersection on red light when no pedestrians waiting to cross. TTC had 2 Transit Control Enforcers at the east end of Queen and 2 at yard entrance. First time seeing the Transit Control Enforcers with the name on the back of the jacket since they started up. Cut the cost of using police doing the same work and they can be use where needed.
All the rail on Queen where the concrete was removed from the last time I saw the site as well the concrete holding it in place. About 60% of the area is clean to allow inspection of the road, ties and clamps with crew chipping away at the remaining area concrete. Saw a new toy being used to sweep the area by hand for the first time. Its a handheld sweeper that is power about 18-24 wide and does a good job. TTC staff inspecting the road and making it where concrete will have to be remove be tween the ties where the rail runs.
Staff was talking to the Day team that does most of TTC concrete work under Toronto control and looks like some of the work will be done on the weekend along replacing a few clips on the steel ties. TTC wants to start reinstalling the rails next week to allow concrete to be pour so that section of Queen can be open to local traffic or shifting traffic off King to Queen so work can take place for removing that turning lane onto King.
Counted over a dozen cars who thought they could sneak through the intersection on Roncesvalles to only have to do a U-turn.
An LRV came south to the yard with pole up to only to change to pan once in the yard, While looking for a location to shoot the yard, watch the car go backward to be spotted at the south end of the track next to the new addition. One LRV in the new addition, one on the west side and that was all in the yard. No idea if other cars in the carhouse as there was no way to see.
Photos will follow soon.
