I had a look at Queen & Spadina today to see how things were progressing. The grand union itself seems to be finished (they were steamrolling the asphalt around it) and the basic concrete form of the new, longer streetcar island on Queen east of Spadina is there. However, the track bed just north and south of the intersection still needs to be poured, and I guess that and the other islands and track bed account for the November completion date.
One thing I noticed further north on Spadina was that the new curbs of the streetcar islands had big trapezoidal notches cut out of them. Something to do with how the new LRVs will line up with the stop? Or the ramps?
