      If it's not done they should literally just destroy it and start over.

    I appreciate this timely update, as I’ve been growing weary of the Eglinton Crosstown project as time has gone by.
    Here’s hoping the Crosstown line opens next year as planned.

      That's good to hear! It took me a while to get this video out but I think the repairs happened for most of May

    @gerry-johnthomas4404 ปีที่แล้ว

    There still seems to be a big ' hole ' in the planning . ! Crossing Caledonia A N D the near-by rail line { U/G ? ] And on to the hill at Richardson . Will the tracks be laid on a down-hill [up-hill ] gradient , same as existing road-way ? ? Are the LRT vehicles able to handle such a grade ?

  • @phillipv2500
    @phillipv2500 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the update. What will happen to the old Eglinton West Station, as it looks old and tired, and contrasts with the new entrances ??

    • @transitthinker
      @transitthinker  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hopefully it'll get a makeover but parts of the old station are getting cleaned up a little. Other than that, it'll still be operational

  • @johnnolan5579
    @johnnolan5579 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have heard there are issues at Yonge and Eglinton that affect the completion of track installation, issues they didn't consider when planning. Have you heard anything? The people who live near this intersection and use the subway regularly are seriously fed up and angry.

    • @transitthinker
      @transitthinker  ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't heard anything recently but I know there have been some issues with track installation

  • @rajiv2612
    @rajiv2612 ปีที่แล้ว

    Curious why the station at Yonge-Eglinton is called Eglinton instead of being called Yonge? Considering it's running on Eglinton Ave for most of it?

    • @transitthinker
      @transitthinker  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure why the name wasn't changed but I agree that Yonge-Eglinton would have made more sense

  • @yurigladtsynov1632
    @yurigladtsynov1632 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there going to be improvements for station signage? I find the generic glass box station buildings with the name faintly behind the glass makes it hard to see if it’s a station/name of it. Not good wayfinding

    • @transitthinker
      @transitthinker  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The signage at stations is final unless the TTC is able to change it but there are signs above every door which is similar to the current TTC standard. The names on the glass walls are much more for artistic purposes than wayfinding

  • @phil1625

    Will they open Mount Dennis for GO and UP express regardless of crosstown ?

    • @transitthinker

      For now the plan is to open both at the same time

    This is ridiculous. 3 years overdue. Who's paying for the overrun! Surely there were penalties associated to this contract.

    If they ever get this thing open, we'll discover that all those expensive, overhead electric cables will be replaced as batteries are installed in the vehicles. Sheer genius.

    I am seeing to much wasted space around the stations that Metrolinx and the city of Toronto could use for affordable housing and retail.

    • @transitthinker
      @transitthinker  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The stations on Eglinton should definitely have been built with more housing on top. Luckily, a lot of Ontario Line stations are being built with TOD's

    Remember kids, It's not public transit if it's not fare-free.
