Those shops are closed in the evenings and expensive to staff. Plus a flash mob could have easily stole a lot of goods set out. We’ll likely see more automation services in the future.

A flash mob?? Isn't that the trend from like the early 2010s where a bunch of theatre kids try to go viral by performing some big routine in public?

I wonder if that thick orange border is meant to signify that this station will be under Ontario Line construction for years. That to me is the only plausible reason for this update at Don Valley.

The TTC used orange for notices:

Edit: Yea, GO does this too:

I can assure you, it's not the reason for Don Valley.

Routes through stations impacted by construction are marked by signs with an orange outline:

They’re like the corporate embodiment of Doug ford himself. Opaque, mistake-prone and stubborn as all hell.

Just like they were under all previous administrations.

Apparently there is a media event planned for this week for the new GO Transit MCI fleet. I don’t know when for sure, but this could be it.

Although, the counter-argument may be, if they can't foresee it working at a busy interchange station, how can they foresee retail working anywhere currently?

VMC station has retail (a take out place) now:

Even the SmartVMC YRT terminal does:

The VMC complex is going big league!

At least there are now places to dine while waiting for either the 20 or the 320 to go to Vaughan Mills or Canada's Wonderland.

It's December 2025 and we still have no idea when this Line is supposed to open. We don’t even know how RSD is going. Ridiculous

Well. We kind of do, seeing as how they're on day 56 of a 30-day process.

So Finch LRT was handed over to the TTC ~Nov 3rd, reached substantial completion on Nov 21, which led (will lead) to an opening date of Dec 7.

So roughly about a month from handover to opening... Late Jan is a possibility for Eglinton

But... the CEO of Metrolinx did state that today is the last day of revenue demonstration and that the project will reach substantial completion in a week.
