It really irks me that they didn't include the overhead catenary that will be required to power the Ontario Line trains. It's not as if it's overly ugly or anything. Why knowingly show an inaccurate representation of final build?

You can barely see the poles that support the catenary. Presumably it's simply not visible at this resolution. These seems a very minor criticism.

I stand corrected, they are visible, but barely. And they should be more prominent on the new OL bridge as you can see the light poles on Millwood Overpass Bridge fairly clearly and that's further away too.

And yes, extremely nitpicky criticism.

With the O-line hitting Bathurst, i just noticed Bathurst will have a station at Bathurst & Spadina - O-line
Bathurst Station - Danforth line
Bathurst & St Clair - Yonge line
Bathurst & Eglinton - crosstown
*Bathurst & Sheppard - Sheppard line

*=Potentially

Is this the only street who could touch all of our transit lines

Photos from this afternoon on my run home. First, a view showing roughly where the portal will be. No trees above the DVP have been removed as far as I can see. But they have done some work on the retaining wall on the S side of the DVP

Another view of the retaining wall

And the future crane site

Next up, the emergency exit building site (IIRC) on Pape where the KFC was. Sorry it's a second post, but...

And for those of you who drive, the gas station across the street has gas at $137.9 (I had to draw the one, due to the flickering sign! ). It was at least a penny more on Danforth

Prelude to a Dig | UrbanToronto

Work to build the Ontario Line 3 subway is taking place in pockets here and there across Toronto, and one of the more recent sites to see activity is just east of Cherry Street, immediately adjacent to the Don Yard and Union Station Rail Corridor.

Already taking place for weeks now. Neighbours are up in arms over the constant overnight noise and threatening to ‘take to the streets’.

^ good point. I did see MPP KWT write an open letter to Metrolinx about that.

Price of living in downtown Toronto. You're going to have disruptions and construction happening often and close by.

It looks like the answer to "what are they building south of the OSC site in ET Seaton park?" is a new hydro pylon. (Was it @Hawk that suggested that earlier?)

Everyone says this until it happens to them.

I lived next to the Well's construction site for years and it seemed reasonable compared to ML's practices. The Well was almost immediately hooked up to Toronto Hydro to comply with the city's bylaw, ML's contractors just run a comical number of diesel generators that are loud and noxious, and ML says it is because they haven't designed electrical substations yet (they never will, if Crosstown is anything to go by). The Well also had a predictable schedule, even during the COVID-era noise hours exemption.
