If they do the new line right, the new station running north-south and the related development will create a better path. But that's a big if.

The southern entrance of the station can be placed closer to the Science Centre entrance, while the northern entrance should be close to Elinton.
The huge parking lot will no longer be needed if most of the visitors arrive by either the Eglinton line or Ontario line. At least part of the lot can be replaced with something else.

Wasn’t it already established that there would be some type of connection between the science centre and the new station if I’m not mistaken

There's not even a finished EA yet let alone a locked in tender. Nothing is confirmed at this point; just many things on a wish list.
Locked in tenders are an important step to knowing what will happen, as the folks along the Hurontario loop recently found out.

It's not really green tracks, as the track bed is still concrete

I thought the Toronto fire and ambulance services were also against it.

The trackwork seems to be going well Eglinton in the east end. They are pouring the guideway this week from Warden to Birchmount.
Anyone have any inkling on when they may start pouring the guideway across the Birchmount and Eglinton intersection?

No idea but the ionview area won't start until 2020

Eglinton and Bermondsey is completely closed and torn up. They must be pouring there right now. You have to get to Eglinton through Credit Union Dr.

According to schedule on page 17 of the presentation here (http://www.thecrosstown.ca/news-media/whats-new/eastern-works-open-house), they are currently planning for the closure of the intersection at Birchmount and Eglinton in July and August of this year.

Astroturf it is then.
Once the Dome switches to natural grass for baseball, there may be enough Astroturf for Line 5.

Dry and brown it would look like crap so astroturf many not be a bad idea.

Where do you think the air conditioning condensation (aka water) goes but under the vehicles as it moves along?
