Look at all those flight of stairs. I still cannot believe there are 2 entrances on south Keele St (an easy walk from 1 side of the street to the other (to serve those residential communities), yet on Keele north there is nothing. There is only 1 on the north side at Trethewey and Eglinton. This is insane. It is a much farther walk from those residential homes to get to Trethewey and Eglinton then people living south Keele Street and choose 1 of the 2 entrances on the south side, Plus they should have gotton rid of that break in keele St
Yeah, with the reconstruction in the area required to build the LRT station, it would have been nice if they could have taken the jog out of Keele.

The city fixed jogs on Dundas Street West and Bathurst Street intersection, and the College Street, Carlton Street, and Yonge Street intersections during the decades when Environment Assessments were not required. The city just sent notices, bought the properties, demolished, and put in the needed roads. That can't do that these days. Doing EA's take longer and add to the costs.
I thought the Flexity Freedom LRVs were standard gauge, therefore they can use standard tracks to "test" the vehicles using some alternative way to provide power to them (not overhead centenary).Yes, I been told by ML that this will be the "model" station. Everything here is done at least three months in advance. Most of the excavation will be done this year. According to the schedule, the station builds should look mostly completed by end of 2019. Basically what the TYSSE stations look like now.
Tracks between Mount Dennis and Keelesdale would have to be laid by end of 2019 to test and burn in the new LRVs. The heck ML won't have tracks till then, why do they even need the prototype now.
