Please someone tell me that Ben Spurr has made a mistake here.
Even by Toronto's standards, this is utterly bizarre.

This isn't a monumental task. The TTC/City have employed transit priority at various locations elsewhere on the transit network.
This could be bureaucratic squabbling. Or perhaps they couldn't figure out how to effectively implement signal priority? We really need more answers, this is unacceptable.

Okay, so it turns out that saying the line "won't operate with transit priority" might be a bit misleading. See this thread by transit planner @larrylarry on Twitter.
I hope he's right on this.

"Invisibility is a feature, especially when transit priority can be controversial."
This really just sums it all up doesn't it.

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.
