Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

The more I see what is happening in the GTA and especially in the central area the more I see the (eventual) opening of Eglinton as a major milestone in our history similar to the opening of the Yonge Line or the Gardiner. I look forward to reading Micallef’s and Bozikovik’s thoughts on that day!
 
Apparently, Phil is seeiking a role overseas per Steve Munro's latest on today's board meeting:

No, I don't.

Do watch for dropping shoes, for better and worse..... but on this one (fingers crossed)..... I think we can see the horizon.
 
Of the urban rail systems in NA I tried to think of those that are grids rather than just hub and spoke and I got NY, Montreal, LA (kind of) and now Toronto. Did I miss any? I don’t think a lot of people are ready for the amount of change the opening of this line and its interchanges is going to have!

LA Metro when considering their expansion plans will probably be one of the best examples of a Grid Network in NA. Aside from that, I'm not 100% sold on calling NYC a grid network. Its a weird hybrid where every route except for the Nassau St and Crosstown Lines all end up in Midtown Manhattan.

That’s crazy- obviously something horrible is going wrong with the crosstown (they unearthed a portal to hell under Eglinton station and their expedition to the Amazon haven’t located all the scrolls needed to close it yet), but how the heck could line 6 end up that delayed?

It's the earliest not the latest date possible.

Isn't Mosaic Transit Group still suing ML over someone's costly mistakes that no one wants to pay. Line 6 won't open till they settle this.

I've seen no indication that work has slowed down because of this. Normally all this happens after the fact. And that's even more likely given that Mosaic's revenue increases when it's ready to begin operations - so holding up work may impact them the most.

Mexico City would round it out.
