For those who like to see old TTC streetcar track..

Ariba Doc No.2509473952, Contract No. 20ECS-TI-10SP (164-2020) Road resurfacing and TTC track removal at Church Street from Gloucester Street to Park Road with Traffic Signal relocation at Charles Street and Isabella Street

Streetcar track is already popping up through the pavement in places north of Wellesley, including in front of the 519 Centre and up around Isabella. They were last used in revenue service in mid 1954, though it may have lasted through 1966 as a connection to the Bloor-Danforth Streetcar.
