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

Keeping the reindeer out of the tunnel, perhaps.

Seriously, a Christmas-New Years vacation period is a pretty obvious possibility.

Considering they are so late in project delivery and the scandal revolving around that they really went full Trudeau with the optics of this. They should be continuously training and testing to show they are doing what they can to finish. Either that or make an announcement about the true status of the line. Right now rusty rails either means they're slacking off in a time when they can't afford to or they're done and are opening imminently or there's a serious problem again. Seems like the former scenario is most likely
 
I've never had the nerve to take my mountain bike down a set of steps. That does appear to be what's required here however...
I believe there is a ramp on the north (Sunnybrook) side & then you can cross back south (E. T. Seton parking lot side) by going through the tunnel under Eglinton which is just to the west of the stairs.

Correct! I just did this a few weeks ago cycling along most of the length of Eglinton and back, twice.
 
Good joke Matlow

@Northern Light apologies for the public tag but I appear unable to DM you.

Any update on the RSD timeline? still think Verster and your sources early 2025 timeline is correct?

Selfishly my wife and I have an ongoing debate on if we need a second car before our child arrives, a functioning Eg LRT would alleviate that need. TYIA

No worries. However, you should be able to send me a message, my setting is that members can message.

I haven't got any new info...........with Michael Lindsay now installed at Mx, they are more tight lipped than ever over there.

I have some people I can reach out to..........but in the pre-election mode there.......info is likely to be sparing.

I have no reason to believe the in-service date will be anything other than Q2 of this year. But nothing is certain til after it has happened!

I can't give you certainty on that.

What I might suggest is that car-sharing might be an alternative worth looking into. For a modest monthly sum, less than you'd spend on car insurance in all likelihood, you get access to a second car as-needed, rather than carrying the cost of a second car all the time.

Communauto has a big flex zone, which a lot of people like; but Zipcar and Enterprise are also options.
