Toronto Crosstown LRT: Caledonia Station | 11.72m | 2s | Metrolinx | McCallum Sather

[EnviroTO]

Big update on the Caledonia GO station... oh wait I was thinking of one of the prior announcements in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020, 2021... anyways they are definitely starting on the Caledonia GO Station. The only remaining things to do are to figure out who will build it with what money, when and who will look after the Eglinton bridge replacement, who will lower the grade for electrification, plus a final decision on 2 or 3 tracks, and construction and commissioning of course. But they have been working on it since 2013... so how much longer can it be right? I'm sure they are almost done.

Looks like 2 more months of exterior work to be done to complete the surface area,

Noticed the bicycle runnels in the staircase, so cyclists could roll their bicycles up or down the stairs. Ramps for the motorized wheelchairs.

Does this mean Caledonia GO construction start date is being pushed back to Spring 2023? https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projec...cs/2022/CPG-Commercial-Pipeline-April2022.pdf

looks like that's only the tender timeline... construction would start sometime after that (my guess is a year ish)

More up on my site

Base on the locations of the entrance and exit for the bus terminal, the current locations for east/west traffic lights will have to be move to either side of them to allow buses in/out or having extra lights.

Seems like some changes were made from what was promised.
Here's the original artwork...

Which one do you prefer?
Ride of Life or Ride of Your Life?

Clearly some of the crosstown art is very good - this however looks like someone got creative in Microsoft Word

It reminded me of the visual acuity charts at the optometrists.

These look terrifically fun to me, I just wish that the piece above the end of the platform spanned the entire width of the space. Scale people! Appropriate scale!!!

Some Americans may assume that Toronto transit riders are anti-abortion too! LOL.

A Caledonia GO update from a recent Metrolinx blog post:

Toronto’s Caledonia GO Station will be directly integrated with connections to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and will have amenities including heated platform shelters, bicycle parking, and complete accessibility enhancements.

Caledonia GO is now in its detailed design phase, with construction expected to start in mid-2023.
