Yes. I was out in Don Mills. They have poured new bus pads and installed new stop poles to align with the future routing of 162 to provide two-way service southwest of Don Mills and Lawrence where only one-way service currently exists.

It’s just Cityflo 650 CBTC throughout the whole line from what I read. The changeover is just selecting which level of control is available to use as the underground section has both ATO and ATP elements available while the surface section only has the ATP equipment.

My understanding is that it is not, as the surface section has some features that are not designed to be integrated with the Cityflo 650 system.

Not that it really matters to the equipment or the people operating it.

This must be a strong candidate the longest project in North American transit history

Since the crosstown started, the ETS Valley Line, O-train Lines 1,2 and 4, the REM, LA's K Line, and Honolulu's Skyline have all been designed, built, and opened.

Secondly, what does the TTC have to do with both Metrolinx' and Crosslinx' ineptitude?

Third, that's the price they pay for having barely any labour standards, disregard for construction safety, a 1 party rule system which controls virtually everything, etc..

This is along the future 73B Royal York bus route terminating at the Mount Dennis Station. These following images are along Emmett Avenue. Since Line 5 is not yet opened, the 73B Royal York bus will not service those stops... yet, allegedly.

Hold on........... if no one else is gonna ask, I will...........

Why on earth are there 'Victorian" style heritage pedestrian lights in this area, which doesn't appear to have an even vague relationship to the period in question?

Probably related to the metal plaques on the brick parts of the low fence behind them, they say "Charlton Settlement". There is also this at the other end of Verona Avenue: https://maps.app.goo.gl/tqnvRQL2nM24T6MH6?g_st=ac
I guess it's meant to be a "grand entrance" to the Charlton Settlement Subdivision north of there, where there is a road called Charlton Settlement Avenue.
Charleston Settlement Subdivision is mentioned here:


So sounds like whoever designed the landscaping for the subdivision thought this looked good.

I guess that's not really an explanation lol.

I tried Googling but I don't think Charlton Settlement is an actual historical settlement that was in the area or anything like that, as far as I can tell.

That's as good an answer as any........

Though ....I'd still like a word with the L.A. .....

I don't mind pastiche, done well.........but its completely incompatible with the architectural style....if I might be so generous, on display.

Actually, @Northern Light ,would you have any idea about the fate of the undeveloped part of this subdivision fronting Weston? It's just a large area of grass with some trees but doesn't appear to actually be a park. Looks like nothing was ever built there. Is this the part that was " block developed for a public park" that's mentioned in the PDF I linked from the city? Was this planned to be park someday?

P.S. It has this beautiful sales office before: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RaWkJkSxfhDXEG2x8?g_st=ac

Which seems to be the inspiration for the "logo" for the subdivision:

Not sure.

The City doesn't have the original site plan online that I can see.

It does have some amending agreements, but they are not pertinent to your question.


And earlier
