Toronto Bike Share

Judging by the map, I think there was more expansion than just along the Finch Hydro Corridor (which btw certainly spices up the map). I am seeing more stations in Etobicoke along Royal York and on the other side of the Humber near The Queensway.

Yes, I reported on those last week. Excepting Eglinton/Scarlet which is today.
 
Six new Stations today

Eglinton/Scarlett ( @Towered ) how does that one work for ya?
Pond/Sentinel
Sentinel Finch/Hydro Corridor
Finch West Stn
Dufferin and Finch Bike Trail
G. Ross Lord Park

Service has arrived at York U!

Getting there - gives me hope - but I'm looking for stations along Islington!
 
New Stations for June 23rd, 2020

Teddington Park Ave (@Yonge st)
Yonge St / Golfdale Rd
Woburn Ave / Yonge St
Roehampton St / Bayview Ave * (as elucidated by @interchange42 's alter ego, there is no Roehampton St.......but for now, that's the name of the station!)
Elwood Blvd / Avenue Rd
 
That map graphic is a joke. If you look at it closely, you'll see that the park and water colour layers are mis-registered, so badly that it's hard to tell what you're looking at in some cases related to parks and the waterfront. Neither would I pay much attention to the dashed black lines: there are new stations far outside that area in some cases. We can only really wait and see where they all go (except in Bradford's Ward where he's managed to wring that info out of them).

Over the course of 12 installation days of the first two weeks this year, they have now installed 76 of the 160 new stations That's an average of 6.333 stations per day. They should be able, at this rate, to finish after another 14 or 15 installation days over the next 16 or 17 days (assuming another day off for Canada day, not just Sundays.

The two stations north along the Humber Trail at Eglinton and close to Lawrence have me hoping that they'll install a number of more stations along the trail as part of the remaining 84 this year. Being a Ward 3 guy, I'm hoping for more here. The two that have gone in near me at Berry & Bell Manor and at The Queensway & High Street mean that I have regular access to the network now if I want to bike for groceries or down to the Lake and then east or west, but I want stations at Old Mill and Royal York areas, and west along the Queensway too, for this system to become really useful.

This expansion map for 2020 posted by @salsa suggests no more outposts on western Bloor St. this year.

…well, that would still allow for Old Mill and Prince Edward locations along Bloor, plus Queensway and Royal York…

…but I don't believe the map as there have already been new stations located outside the expansion areas shown, including the Eglinton/Scarlett and Weston Lions Park ones, plus the York University ones.

So like I said, we just have to wait and see!

New Bikestations of Thursday, June 25 (light day)

Richmond/York
Lumsden/Eastdale
Wilket Creek Park
Sunnybrook Park
 
New Bikeshare Stations for June 26th

Vaughan Rd /Oakwood Ave
Braemar Ave / Eglinton Ave W
Eglinton Ave E / Redpath Ave
 
New Stations for Sunday June 28th.

Guildwood GO Stn (both north and south lots)
Royal York Rd and Lake Shore Blvd.

*** Long Branch GO
*** Marie Curtis Park

*** These have been added to the network, I spotted them today, but have not been announced on social media that I can tell. So these may have been today or prior.

Total adds 4 locations, 5 sets of stations.

---------

Editorial Note, with the Guildwood addition, I get that more stations are planned out there, but as of this moment you can only bike from the north parking lot to the south lot, unless you want a lot of overage fees, as the next closest station is roughly Victoria Park and Danforth.

I do find their way of rolling out locations .....ummmm, esoteric.
