Excuse the ignorance but the boxes seen in photo #2/3 from above. Are those planters to protect the trees on the other side of the fence or what is their purpose?

And landscaping cloth. Garden boxes for the construction crews? It looks like they are built with non-PT lumber. Built to last (or perhaps not - maybe they're temporary).Excuse the ignorance but the boxes seen in photo #2/3 from above.

They're for collecting the shavings from the tree trimming above. They did that work yesterday.And landscaping cloth. Garden boxes for the construction crews? It looks like they are built with non-PT lumber. Built to last (or perhaps not - maybe they're temporary).
Won't be more than double. The whole point of this project is to raise the Barrie line above the CP Sub to the north. As the elevated section is only two tracks, tripling won't be happening.
My understanding is that Metrolinx plans to build triple tracks eventually, but is only building 2 bridges for now here at least. I believe there will be triple track sections on different parts of the rail corridor to allow for express trains. Downsview Park Station was built to allow this, for example.Won't be more than double. The whole point of this project is to raise the Barrie line above the CP Sub to the north.

You are correct. Until there is a need for a 3rd track, it will remain as 2 tracks. Given where we are on RER today, 2040 or about is when you will see the 3rd track.That's my recollection from the public meetings, the layout provides for a third track if desired at some later date, but no plans to build it as yet.

They could leave a siding that are not elevated to serve industry along the main tracks.
I doubt you are going to need to add a triple track this far into the city
