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

Not sure how much of this was a joke or not but the Dome is more than likely not switching over to natural glass.

Makes sense considering that part should should see lots of work this year from what I understand.

The whole section from Thermos to Ionview is set up for imminent construction based on the placement of cones and so forth. The schedule says July/August but I would expect it to start sooner.

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

I was more worried about salt than summer drought.

I got some vide the other day of the construction work at Don Mills they have the walls up on both sides of the entrance and exit ramps for the crosstown you can really get a sense of how large the station will be by the space between them.

Crosstown LRT: *while building underpass beneath Don Mills intersection* "??????"

That hit spot on, especially how Ford and the such claim that it would NOT be a cost effective design for the EWLRT, but they are building something like under Don Mills. But that was probably chosen by the Libs

Building Description
For the first time ever, public are invited to take a peek behind the doors of the Eglinton Maintenance and Storage Facility (EMSF). It houses the Crosstown Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) where they are inspected, cleaned and maintained. Construction on the facility began in 2016, and was completed in October 2018. Light rail vehicles began to arrive in January 2019. The facility will initially be home to 76 light rail vehicles, with capacity to store 135 as service levels increase to meet future demand. The main building is built to LEED Silver certification, and includes high energy and water efficiency, green roofs, solar reflective paving, and vehicle charging stations for electric vehicles.

Not to worry in the design they have a orange line 5 signage. So i'm not too worried

It is featured in all the concept photos of the crosstown stations. I thought it was just for the concept but they might actually be having a redesigned sign for just the eglinton line or all of the ttc (not likely)

I'd be worried, especially since this current provincial government is the petty type which seems intent on reversing every single Liberal decision made whether it involves logic or no logic whatsoever.

I wouldnt be surprised if thery were looking into rebranding Metrolinx just for the sake of it (including a full livery change) even though it was changed just a couple years ago.
