The transit signal priority at Queen's Quay and Spadina was, in fact, functioning by about 10 PM this evening--the 510 turn phase was only occurring with a streetcar present, otherwise it was just switching between north/south and east/west. The loop had the turn phase happening every cycle, but the complex intersection/multiple turns there mean a couple of other signals are active at the same time so there's really no difference whether or not the streetcar turn signal goes or not.
The electric/automatic track switches, both at spadina and at the loop, were not working though--I am hoping that these will go live on June 16th-17th, the scheduled go-live dates for full transit priority along the entire street. I just hope there's not actually a problem with them and they're merely waiting on the last bit of work...
One strange thing is that westbound at the loop, straight-through westbound traffic on Queen's Quay, heading towards Spadina, got a red light every other cycle. As in eastbound cars had a green, eastbound AND westbound streetcars and bicycles had greens, all specifically signalled turns had reds, but westbound cars had reds. There was no obvious reason at all for this, and again, westbound and eastbound would both be green correctly one signal, only eastbound not westbound the next, switching back and forth. I guess they might have had an issue and may still need to fine-tune it, but work was scheduled to conclude today on the signals.
Looking forward to final MGT paving--currently fully paved from Bay to about halfway across the Peter Slip Bridge, then half-paved from there to the loop, then unpaved to Yo Yo Ma where it again becomes fully paved for the extension to Bathurst. Final coat is scheduled to go on from the bridge to the loop, and both coats from the loop across Spadina to Yo Yo Ma, tomorrow. I'll try to get some pictures if I can. Lane and decal painting will presumably follow over the weekend and/or next week for the opening on the 19th. Pictures from today:
