Toronto GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

[smably]

It tells a story, and as mentioned keeps the trail grade-separated. I don't mind it at all.

100% this, also possibly the one place in the city you have cars and bikes at level 0, pedestrians at level 1, and trains at level 2. So cool seeing these stacked layers of infrastructure.

Those houses seem pretty close to a high powered rail line. Are there no sound barriers being put up?

 

[ProjectEnd]

There will be sound attenuation walls, yes (unfortunately, they're solid, not transparent). They're already installed on the approach north of the North Toronto Sub.

Photo cred @ProjectEnd

Definitely different than the rendering from a couple of pages back:

But the main difference is the thickness of the span between the pillars. Otherwise very similar.

Laneway between Rankin and the tracks, looking north to Wallace. Note that the laneway is elevated on a berm, and the old sound walls are now lower than the new guideway.

Will they need guide rails like they do on bridge sections?

^ I only just noticed that the power line was in the way and had to be buried. A good reminder that utility relocation is a major consumer of time and effort in these projects.
