Thanks for the info. If you can, are you able to elaborate on what other errors there are on the map?
I guess we are a long way from anything that resembles Peter Dougherty's NYC trackbook.
The Crosstown, for instance, has a number of errors on it. There is no spare track east of Don Mills, the double-crossover east of Pharmacy is actually two single crossovers, etc.
The access to Greenwood Yard (the "wye") shows a crossover where the tracks pass under/over each other.
There are some smaller issues with the streetcar system - missing curves or extra curves, that kind of thing.
On the heavy rail system, there are some issues with the trackage layout in places. The top of the Richmond Hill line, for instance, is missing sidings and additional trackage north of Doncaster.
Now, I don't mean for this to be a slagging of the website - to the contrary, it is a terrific resource that I too use from time-to-time. And while I would like to see errors corrected and updates made more frequently, I also realize that it is the work of one (or a very small number of) volunteer(s), and so they need to work on their own schedule - not mine. I can be patient.
- Rail crossover omissions and arbitrary inclusions (there will be no crossover near city hall, it will be near St Michaels).
- Arbitrary track alignment, suggesting tracks will run on both outer sides of the joint corridor with GO tracks between
- Arbitrary choices to draw stations as island or outside platforms
I’m appalled someone took the time to make this addition to the website so poorly. You need only read the publicly available environmental assessments and track alignment documents to understand where this track will go exactly.
EDIT:

In this case, they added the info to the map well before the EA was complete and the alignment finalized. They went by the projections and pronouncements, and haven't updated it as the politicians and organizations walked all those back.
