By the time the crews are fully trained and and ready to run the 30 full service testing, the rest will be 100% complete by then.

It will surely be years before it's 100%. The Line 1 extension to Vaughan is still not going to achieve 100% this year, and will now run into 2025.

But that doesn't necessarily effect opening.

Why, that almost looks like a complete street!

Now we just need the density and vibrant retail strip...

I was going to say—between the protected bike lanes, curb extensions and transit right of way—it looks downright European.

Further areas of improvement would be to bury the utility wires, ensure pedestrian crossings are very well illuminated and east-west crossings across small streets are raised.

As for the built form, I firmly believe towers in the park get a lot of unjustified hate. These buildings provide:
  • 5-10x the density of single family detached
  • way larger units than anything built after the 2000s
  • the backbone of the relatively affordable older rental and resale units in the city
They just need a bit of decent landscaping to make the "park" areas nice.

Besides, it's good to have separation between towers. Certainly a better living experience than units staring into each other's windows just a few metres away.

And finally, not every street needs, or can be, Queen West. What makes Queen West special is every other area not being like that.

What do you mean for the Line 1 Vaughan extension?

Work isn't done yet?

Yes - The Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE). The six new stations from Sheppard West to Vaughan Megalopolis Centre. Construction started in 2008, and it opened in 2017.

If you look at the TTC's December 2024 update on major projects, there's a report on the delay to the project.

Looks like they decided to change the poles with the T signage too. (first image is old, second is new)

Was it finch or Eglinton that had the QR codes that were recently hung up (to inform about bus changes) that didn't work?

I want to go see in person and submit a complaint and see how many weeks (months) it takes

Ended up looking at Finch today and traffic was wide open going westbound. Still a lot of barriers around things and work taking place off to the side of the road. Bike lanes look done with stripping, but a few intersections have pillions' and sign closing it as well bike signals cover up.

2LRV's out training someone and waited 30 minutes for one to show up in the west considering there was one in the west and east as I drove west to shoot a video of it, but gave up.

Eastbound was still slow going at the CP bridge, but a lot faster with shorter line up.

Noticed the station sign at the ramp area are now different with the east side having a poor TTC sign at the top, but doesn't match the west side where I was hoping to get some shots. Looks poor in the daylight, but maybe it will look better at night if it is an LED one.

Took me 22 minutes to go from Keele Portal to Hwy 27

Real fast
