Pretty sure those renderings are what it will look like with minimal changes. so no coveringsDoes anyone know whether the trains run on top of this bridge, or are they covered?

Today, from the opposite side of the ravine:hawc, kotsey do you have any recent drone photos of the area just south of the Ontario Science Centre where the Ontario line will be turning west?
Particularly the area above the ET Seton Archery Range? The facebook page created by the archers there have recently reported/noticed the encroachment and widening of the work area that has caused the range to be reduced/reconfigured. It's an active group and some aerial photos would be great to see.
Thanks a ton!!!
Make lemonade out of a lemon...Good, I hate those enclosed bridges, tunnels where they shouldn't be. Much nicer to see the light of day rather than being indistinguishable from being underground. Enclosed bridges aren't exactly aesthetically appealing, plus extra work to build an enclosure. The only advantage that comes to mind is protection from the elements, but if it were that important, why do existing open sections seem to do fine without much issues?
Its funny cause it originally was open air wasnt it? they had to seal it IIRC?
Those panels you see on the top used to be windows. They were enclosed due to noise complaints.Its funny cause it originally was open air wasnt it? they had to seal it IIRC?
They were not windows. Just openings. And IIRC the panels were installed partly for noise, but mostly to keep the elements out and reduce maintenance.Those panels you see on the top used to be windows. They were enclosed due to noise complaints.
Pretty sure you could do the same thing on the subway tracks in an open section too, easier to climb over the fence than on top of that bridge, and no risk of falling offMake lemonade out of a lemon...

Has there been any rendering of this crossing? I have only seen the one parallel to Millwood Overpass.Today, from the opposite side of the ravine:

I think that’s the same overpass south of Thorncliffe. You can see the portal coming out from the south and downtown Toronto as the backdrop.Post in thread 'Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s' https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-ontario-line-3-m-s.6155/post-2146252
It's the last of these, I believe
openings on the top makes 0 sense to me. Lets in some light but... then people just see a concrete wall anyways, and lets in all the elements.They were not windows. Just openings. And IIRC the panels were installed partly for noise, but mostly to keep the elements out and reduce maintenance.
Apart from the final sentence about the elements, couldn't this argument be used against having windows on a subway car at all?openings on the top makes 0 sense to me. Lets in some light but... then people just see a concrete wall anyways, and lets in all the elements.
