Appearances can be deceiving.
Well, at least it's not an Amsterdam Line 52 Centraal station situation; the single station (without which the line was basically useless) was more than 7 years behind schedule.
Appearances can be deceiving.
Is that a realistic expectation though? At what point does a decision need to be made that says "we can open in 2021, but _______ stations will remain closed". Or would it just make more sense for them to delay the whole thing until the expected deadline so they can do more in-depth track testing to make sure its perfect before opening day?
Or that new airport in Berlin which is as of now, almost a full decade behind schedule.Well, at least it's not an Amsterdam Line 52 Centraal station situation; the single station (without which the line was basically useless) was more than 7 years behind schedule.
I note that the Metrolinx site states that the expected completion is 2022. I am not sure they have been more date definitive then that elsewhere?
Having driven back and forth through varying parts of the route in the past couple of months, and as recently as yesterday, the amount of topside work left to be done to complete stations, track work and power work, and the rehabilitation of Eglinton Avenue itself looks like a completion date sometime in 2021.
Add to that the testing and completion of the underground work.....would i be completely incorrect in visualizing a line opening in June 2022 ....or before September of 2022?
So does anyone think that December 12th 2022 is a likely date or maybe December 19th 2020. IM just throwing out dates around the same time as when the TYSSE opened back in 2017 (December 17 to be exact)I heard end of year 2022
If Ford rides, he'll probably get as far as Laird and after, return straight to Mount Dennis while there's a huge sheet covering the entrance to the tunnel east of Laird. Nope nothing to see here....I would think they'd want this line opened before the June 2022 provincial election. So I'm thinking there will be a big push from Metrolinx to get it opened around the spring of 2022. There needs to be some ribbon-cutting before the next election.

With the number of level crossing/intersections, I wonder how this is going to be a rapid transit...
MX didn't even add transit signal priority (the city didn't let them), what a joke.With the number of level crossing/intersections, I wonder how this is going to be a rapid transit...
