The engineers did a good job in budgeting the timeline. They paved the way for incase if someone chooses not to show up for work. If someone chooses not to show up for work, and the supervisor has to drag the worker into the office trailer and write the worker up for the no-show and sometimes has to put an ad in the paper to get someone that WILL show up on time. When you have to do that, you end up having some down time and that would eat away at your project schedule. So for TOD (Transit Oriented Development) work or building a transit route, it's always best to budget enough time so you don't have to worry about interrupting your schedule you have promised to the public.
happy to see that toronto is getting another east-west transit corridor but yall really need to get cracking on that relief line. line 1 is already at max capacity and excess ridership brought in from the crosstown is going to overcrowd it to crisis levels

I used to take the Eglinton bus in Scarborough every day from 2001 to 2004 when I was in high school but I haven't lived in Toronto since 2006 now. Sucks that I won't get to ride this new train since I live so far away.
They should have added another under ground portal west of the east don river bridge to bypass the approaching sloping terrain and then pop back out at the Victoria Park Ave. (O'Connor stop).
I hope you put signs up naming the portals! It seems a shame that only the Ellis portal got a public name on the T.T.C. And worse that some jerk graffitied over it.
@@enthusiast9395 Duh! I was obviously telling you that. If you paid any attention the two stations on this section are Science Center and Kennedy. Those are clearly called stations in the video. Rest are stops on the street
Nice, but air pollution is not clear, it's bad because of too much higher buildings, condos, etc in Toronto. I used to live in 80's and 90's and air pollution was just clear without condos and things.
They will have their own dedicated signals, separate from the regular traffic signals. The LRT will have priority over other traffic. It will be the same system as on St. Clair. Also, they have a dedicated right of way. No other traffic in their lanes.
this metro-train is going to be too fast so let's put a major at grade intersection with cars to transform it into a stupid tram-in-tunnel and slow it down
The amount of work, engineering, and construction at Kennedy is out of this world. Wow.
Yes , I think they were doing this 100 years ago faster.
I can’t wait to ride it from Kennedy to mount dennis
What's mount Dennis?
Samsaknight X Nount Dennis is a feuture stop at weston & eglinton
Samsaknight X mount*

Well, you will have to wait - a long time!

I was on the first train for Ottawa's LRT. I'd like to be on the first train for Crosstown, but I'm betting the crowds will be phenomenal.
Holy crap I remember July 2019 Eglinton like yesterday. I can't believe how much is changed.

cuk they cancelled that
@@Wald4267 they didnt, it was just renamed to the ontario line.
Ford will make the Ontario Line instead of the relief line. It will start 2027-2029 for plans.

Please don’t swear at me.
How about a new flyover video! It's May 2021 now....it must look vastly different.

It do be coming together tho
Love to see a crowd and congestion-free Toronto. I hope Toronto improves.

Wow good progress!
Kennedy station was way better before 2017 when it was clean and let's not forget that majority of the buses there were Orion VII OG.
Excited to see 2021 update
We need an update to this plzz
I love how the station shelter is not on the same side on the opposite area it’s different
Why do the surface stops look worse than York Region's VIVA shelters? They should be fully enclosed.
yes but that is expensive
I hope you put signs up naming the portals! It seems a shame that only the Ellis portal got a public name on the T.T.C. And worse that some jerk graffitied over it.
How long until construction is ALL DONE AND TESTING IS DONE
i believe early 2022
Probably Early-Mid 2022
A sign at Eglinton and Bayview says completed by September 2021. So in only 13 months it will be ready !!!
Not until at least 2024 at the current rate of progress. Just be patient. One day we might get to ride on it.
@@WilhelmFreidrich That is the latest estimate now, sometime in 2023 or 2024.

Good view...
When is there a new vid coming up
I’m so excited this it willl be very Useful
Will this be operated by GO?
what kinda question is that? no
@@Humulator lmaoo Ik I found out recently only asked bc when I first heard of it I saw the trams advertised as being green lol

10 years+ speed to build, OMG
When is the new vid coming out you post a vid every month in midddle wednesday
Man I miss days driving on eg west without contruction
evil ryu oh bruh
There’s always is congestions on Eglinton
@@Wald4267 finch in general
A Metrolinx sign at Bayview and Eglinton says this will be completed "By September 2021" That's great news. In 13 months it will be finished !
You wish ! Try 2023
mid to late 2022 is the most probable opening time
Wow.
i miss 2020
5:53 rip line 3
So we're going through portals instead of stations interesting lmao
Yeah, let's see how long that lasts
Portals are the transitions between below and above ground tracks. Stations are still stations.
I saw my car down there.
Yikes so many at-grade crossings. This line is going to be painfully slow.
4 Years Later and still not functioning.......
47
Just call them stations lol
Stations are clearly labelled as stations
@@Saucy-ws6jc they are still stations🤔
@@enthusiast9395 Duh! I was obviously telling you that. If you paid any attention the two stations on this section are Science Center and Kennedy. Those are clearly called stations in the video. Rest are stops on the street
@@Saucy-ws6jc stops? Still stations😁
@@enthusiast9395 Kennedy and Science Centre are stations. Others are just small stops on an island

I read that when above ground, the trains will have to obey the same traffic lights as everyone else. So basically, a glorified streetcar.
What did you think - they'd just cruise through opposing traffic?
@@prdoyle they should have priority signaling because it will move more people faster compared to cars
They're going to be sorry they didn't grade-separate their railway there.

10 years of slow and unreliable “progress”... absolutely incompetent
When will this boondoggle be over with? Cancel it now! What a joke!
Exactly my thoughts! It’s been 12 years already !
dude, the city needs this, it's almost done, do you want 11 years of progress down the drain?
