Was it mentioned at what date the new CEO will be announced?
And familiar face, like a former TTC employee?
Collie Greenwood current with MARTA and former TTC employee that moved up the ranks.
Unfortunately I can't access the paywall.

A familiar face, like current interim CEO Greg Percy. He's applying for the permanent job.

It was mentioned that the interim CEO wasn't suppose to get the permanent position. But with anything, rules are bent. But I do remember them stating that as condition for the Interim CEO.

Its my understanding that Collie did not put his name forward.

Yeah, there was some discussion of this above. At the time of the appointment it was clearly reported that he was not permitted to apply for the permanent job, but at some point, that disappeared and everyone just seemed to accept that he was applying and being considered. Without anybody from the Board coming out and transparently saying that they'd changed the rules to let him.

UPDATE
They are tearing down the upper portion with the bobcats.
It looks like they are tearing down the bus bays in sections with a separate team working on the concourse portion directly.
The portion where the shops were seems to be demolished separate from the other sections of warden station

yeah I was looking at the site I had linked before and I think I might have misinterpreted something from it. It look like the part of the exiting are from bay 1 and 2 towards the ret of the station is staying as it holds the current entrance and will have the outside elevator for the temporary bus terminal and the passenger drop off. Everything towards the street will be a new purpose built facility. Something to keep in mind the elevators are due to open sometime this year but the project isn't due to be complete until next year.

Two things I wish the TTC would've adopted:
1. Incline elevators: These would've been most optimal at York Mills and Lawrence.
2. Passenger-activated escalators for lesser used ones. Heck, YYZ has them, and we trialed (treadle-activated) ones at the now unused North Wilson bus terminal.

The buses should be permanent. So we can have a parallel bus next to any or all underground electric railways for accessibility, whenever a station's elevator is out-of-service due to maintenance, vandalism, or mischief.

The TTC has been underfunded since Premier Mike Harris cut all transit operating subsidies in the 1990's. The NDP & Liberals promised to return the subsidies, but the PC's got back in, so nothing unless there's a photo op available.
