Yes he has, as its longer than 50 Seconds. If you add the extra 10 seconds that I have seen for the LRV's that have to stop sooner than traffic, it will be even longer than what the car gods are telling him how long it will be between light changes.
If he is going by what the car gods are say and doesn't know about the extra 10 seconds, he maybe right. I have never time that it takes between light changes.

This is news to you? We've been talking about this for years now...
While the engineer that responded to him says there will be soft TSP, Metrolinx hasn't reaffirmed what he has said and all signs point to there no TSP at all.

So there really is less priority than streetcars and buses have on the TTC network today? Somehow I doubt that. It will likely be similar/better.

A second transport engineer has come out and said MX is incorrect on their claims of TSP not being implemented for ECLRT:

The grass tracks are looking really good - gives the above ground line a much more European tramway look compared to the concrete look of the light rail you tend to see in the US. Just need the streetscape and buildings on Eglinton to catch up

Will give us something nice to look at while we crawl along, waiting for cars to pass in front of a red transit signal.

ICYMI - Stakeholder consultancy power point and line 5 bus service changes with each bus listed and its changes once this line opens
Please pay attention to following quote:
34 Eglinton - This route was originally planned as a parallel surface route between Mount Dennis and Science Centre (Don Mills) Stations. It has been extended east to Kennedy Station so that there will be a surface bus paralleling the LRT service. This will maintain service at existing bus stops that would have otherwise disappeared.
My personal comments - why in the world will you run the 34 bus on the surface level when literally the eglinton lrt will stop at so many stops including the additional one of hakim lebovic. This means now Eglinton will have the LRT plus the diamond lane still for these busses. There will be so much continued congestion.
Slides 18-20 mainly
Bus Routes by bus # impacted due to EGLRT Opening
TTC indicated they have been directed by Metrolinx for an opening on Thursday, September 1st, 2022 (also that the service will be free until January 1st, 2023 - based on this I assume opening will likely be October/November)
