TTC CEO Rick Leary contract is up in Feb and will he see it renew or calls for a new CEO?? There been some talks that Rick Leary contract will not be renew and will stay on until a new one is found or he leaves.
He has a poor track record as well increasing upper manage 3 levels in place of one under Andy.
Even though station managers remain the same, the number of staff under them has triple to the point complaints are being made how dirty stations are now.

So whatever happened with the rollout of these signs?

I doubt his contract will get renewed.
He is ineffectual at the best of times and doing things ass backwards operationally speaking. The City of Toronto wants to cut budgets because of Covid and he is out increasing upper management at $75000 a pop which likely does not sit well with his bosses in an election year.
I will say this, the situation has not gotten any better since Rick Leary abandoned Byfords policies.

Rick Leary has been consistently awful in his tenure, especially when compared with his immediate predecessor.
He needs to be unceremoniously turfed.

Please Dear Lord, get Leary out of here ASAP.
He's an absolute piss pour of an excuse CEO who is incapable of effectively managing the TTC. He's screwed up operations by padding recovery times all in the name of "improving" on-time performance and reducing short-turns. While in his head that improves the numbers, this has resulted in severely increased wait times for all modes as you'll see a bunch of buses/streetcars laying over at the end of the line. On some routes you'll literally see 5-6 buses laying over while customers wait 20 minutes for the next vehicle.
Overall, I havent seen things this bad at the TTC since the Rick Ducharme/Howard Moscoe/Bob Kinnear era. Why the city even picked him up in the first place is honestly beyond me, but he needs to take a hike..

The thing is... who would want to pick up this mess.
If they hire externally, whoever comes in risks damaging their reputation if they aren't successful at changing engrained corporate culture. If they hire internally, you'll get more of the same.
Except maybe... Chris Upfold

It's going slowly as they are also moving some stops around and eliminating others and not everywhere has somewhere they can put a shelter with them at them as well.

Let’s not count our chickens before they’re hatched
The TTC does need a CEO laser-focused on operational improvements - and one who can do so in a very challenging budget environment.

I'd argue that the CEO of such a large organization should be hiring someone to be laser-focused on operational agreements (but provide them with the support they need).

We'll have to wait and see what the future holds for Mr. Leary...........
For 350 others, it has become a bit clearer:

Two per cent of the public transit agency staff have been terminated following a campaign against the policy by its biggest union.

Reading over Steve Munro's latest on the TTC Capital budget, here:

Saw a slide which is either new to me; or I overlooked in the earlier paperwork bomb in December..........
Under Guideway Enhancement.....
You'll notice a plan for a siding, 3rd track between Bloor-Yonge and Rosedale. Not sure of the length and exact location, but one would assume this would be in the 'open cut'.......

Also of of note is a move to replace all ballasted track with concrete slab base.

One other thing....make note of those delivery dates for the projects in the box on the left....

This is likely to store an extra train in the rush hour. Currently, trains are dispatched from Davisville when required where I believe a train is kept on the build up.

When I see timelines like that, my eyes glaze over and I stop caring. My personal favourite is the line 2 westward extension, to be complete by 2041!
How exciting!!
