Too late to have the Sunnybrook Park stop on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East at Leslie Street.

I'm still really struggling to believe this whole thing is going to be done in 2.5 years. They gotta work damn fast.

It's aggressive, but not impossible. For comparison here is 2.5 years of progress at Rideau station in Ottawa
May 2016
Aug 2018
Apr 2019
But odds are the Crosstown will be late, given the general track record of rail projects across the country.

With a fire at a high school next door to the Keelesdale Station, the opening is not set in stone yet.

Looks from the photo that the section of the school on fire, is separated from the secondary entrance at the northwest corner, by a new part of the school. I can't imagine the water damage would be that extensive at this stage. I really don't think this will have any schedule impacts!

Most of the work is underground with the platform roof already poured. Plus Keelesdale is done ahead of schedule and will reach close to completion at the end of this year (it's suppose to look close to Rideau Station in April 2019).
It's going to be aggressive. This year is the key year of excavation. All the digging has to finish this year to be on time.

So many left-turns at this intersection. So dumb.

True. Although the school burning down probably won't affect Keelesdale Station too much. Maybe a bit, but not a lot.

They could always prioritize the LRT rather than left turning traffic, but I really doubt it would be implemented. I wonder if a dedicated flyover for cars would be warranted in the future.

^if signal priority is not implemented, this will become the glorified version of streetcars. People should not be blamed if they complain about it.

Be sure to send your complaints to Toronto Transportation Services if signal priority does not occur on this corridor by the time LRT is in place:
