So with the instillation of overhead wires from Brentcliff to Kennedy and potential train testing by the end of the month, my 2 questions are:
1. How are they going to get the test train over there? As for as I know they've only brought trains a few stations away from Mount Dennis.
2. If they instead transport a train to the east end just for testing, where will they keep it? Maybe at Kennedy or Science Centre so its inside?

Kennedy is nowhere near complete enough to "safely" store a train inside. Yes it is a cavern but I don't think it is powered yet nor do I think Metrolinx wants vehicles parked in a construction site for any length of time

Are the station roofs translucent? If not would have been nice to see some solar panels on top

Finally got to these 85 photo that are up on site now as well seeing which few I could post here for the 3 locations I shot that day. As you can see the OS was 99% to 100% in place.

Based on what I have see, no is the answer to both things. All roofs should be green or solar panels or both. Most likely ML afraid that someone could cause damage to the panels or walking away with them.

Is this an emergency exit?

 

[daniel_kryz]

Damn those railing are very utilitarian.
Light posts aren't great, either.

 

[drum118]

Is this an emergency exit?

I would assume so as you are walking out into traffic and the only location I seen like this for any of the surface stations. I don't see a need for a crossing there as there is nothing around it to justify it. Both platforms are like this.

Also, the anti-homeless designed benches are not something we should be copying from the US.

At least they're not uncomfortably slanted like the ones used at YRT Richmond Hill Centre Terminal.

Power installation at Sloane stop. They started near Kennedy and making there way west as we speak.
