Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

I think we have to assume the problems are more significant than readily fixable programming issues with signaling. If that was the issue - they would likely be happy to say so and lay out a plan to fix and get to operation. Therefore, I assume instead that the issue is much more challenging than that. Sufficiently challenging that the issue(s) remediation is in itself undefinable - but to be honest I am being (potentially excessively) skeptical and hopefully wrong.

Verster could barely bring himself to acknowledge that there were software bugs to be fixed in 2024. What makes you think they would happily lay out a public plan to fix the software issues?

I honestly hope there really isn't a construction related issue holding everything up though.

Does anyone have updates on which stations have been given occupancy permits from the city?
 
In all honesty, would it be so hard to retrofit the current surface platform canopies with at least one full glass enclosure/heater?? There are three of them.

Not all shelters on O-Train Line 2 (Ottawa) are heated, either. One is.

Yes the Valley Line/VIVA stops are better...

Homeless have ruined sliding doors on the Valley Line, and the incline elevator...

Edmonton learned with the Blatchford (Metro) extension, that you need to put card readers on the doors for the waiting rooms - so you have to scan your ARC card to gain access to them.

They also put their ticket machines under canopies, which we didn't.

Still hoping they eventually put faregates in their underground stations.
 
It's a common practice in the media to preemptively create content to be ready to publish immediately when/if something big happens.

For example, when Trump won, WSJ had a video up on their YouTube channel almost immediately, and people were joking that there's a Kamala victory video kicking around on a server somewhere.

It could also be they thought this wording was more appropriate given the election, but that's kinda weird.

Absolutely, but this one is a bit weird. Ford is leading in the polls, and while I hope he and the PCPO get the public's ire on Thursday, I'm also a realist and expect him to win. (But *everyone* please vote!). So why add the "then-premier" but? Anyway, nothingburger

During the writ period there is no Premier or Cabinet ministers or MPPs there’s only candidates. As such

Not true. There are certainly restrictions on what they can do. But they Premier and cabinet still exist. MPPs are moot, as they have no power.

I don't know why we need to even mention an obvious 6-character typo - let alone debate it.

GIven the lengths that paper will go to to screw the NDP, perhaps centre-leaning may be a better description.

Murphy's law dictates that the day you choose, all the trains will be sound asleep at the yard.

I've tried a few times and my honest recommendation would be not to bother. It's less of a pain to go to Waterloo to see their cars.
