Stairs in front of primary entrance building (along Eglinton) have been poured, and framing largely removed. Photo from this morning.

Update from today. Not a ton of progress since October.

Of note, the sidewalk on the south side of Eglinton in front of the main entrance to Leaside Station has opened. It makes catching busses much easier!

Looks like the entrance will remain and the condo will be built on top?

So, they've been jackhammering some of the poured outer steps at the main entrance, and putting new rebar. Honestly, I don't understand why the outside of this station isn't complete!

The westbound lanes of Eglinton and both directions of Bayview were paved on Tuesday, June 6. They only went about 40m to each side of the intersection (likely what was in the contract for Crosslinx/whoever is responsible) , so there's some really poor quality asphalt adjacent, especially where the buses have been stopping for the past few years.
In the second photo, the cycle track has been paved (WB Eg at Bayview).

They completed most of the paving overnight (still doing SB Bayview, south of Eg), and have done about 1/2 the lane markings. Example of the interface between new and old pavement looking NB on Bayview in second photo. That's right where the NB bus stops, and the pavement is in very rough shape. It's worse on WB Eglinton, I think!

So, it looks like they've changed from steps along the entire frontage along Eglinton to just two sets of stairs. I assume they'll fill some of the other steps in. I assume this was a late change?
Anyway, some street furniture has been installed.

So either they've made lemonade out of lemons, or they intended to have landscaping all the time! (I vote 1).

Did they just throw topsoil on top of the concrete steps? If so then it won't be long until the topsoil washes away and the old steps re-emerge...
I assume that's why it's grasses and there isn't a single tree planted.
