I hope transit advocates mount an effective pressure campaign on ML, TTC and TTS to implement better TSP.

I mean, it's not like this is the first time we have seen this happen, this has been the status quo with all the ROW operated streetcar routes so far. If a guy like Steve Munro couldn't change this, then what hope for any of us?
If anything, the TTC will probably justify it as being beneficial for safety to not enter an intersection at full speed.

Are three trains only used in the grade separated portion?

Seems like the line is not going to be in service for passengers until next year. Wonder how deep into 2023 we will have to wait.

Would not trust blogto for the LRT opening date. They are more like a broken telephone (regurgitating what has previously been reported), than reporting news. (I’m also not saying 2022 is guaranteed).

Will Mount Dennis UPX be operating on day 1 (or before day 1) of Crosstown's operation?

I hope the station will be open. I plan to arrive at Mount Dennis coming from Kitchener on opening day and ride it eastbound.

They were testing the signage today (sorry for the blown out image, it was to try and get the colours of the letters)
I didn't get a photo of the other one, but one said "Out of service" and the other said "ECLRT Opening Soon"

In Steve Munro's review of the July 14th TTC meeting we get some info on the evolving (potential) service levels on Line 5:
