It has been close to a month since anything was reported about this line... a curious silence ! Line 5 must be grabbing everyone's betting dollars..
That said, when I came down the 400 yesterday, there were trams visible out on the line. Wonder what the timing is for this line ?

I was out on the line last week, I observed the trains out with TTC drivers doing a simulated service (stopping at all stops, opening doors, etc) with maybe 10-15 minute frequency? Hard to say on that last part as I was moving around. Still plently of roadworks to be done but I'm not sure how that conflicts with operation of the line.

I've been seeing broken windows on several stops for months now. Glad it's finally getting attention.

Several panels at Finch West LRT stations damaged, work to fix other deficiencies continues
As Finch West LRT testing and commissioning continue without a projected opening date for the line, several glass panels at station platforms have been damaged for months while crews are addressing other deficiencies. Nick Westoll reports.

Yes the section infront of the MPP's office there, between weston and signet/arrow is the only area that still hasn't been constructed (roadway, the guideway is long done). I suspect there are issues with CP, otherwise I can't imagine why they haven't done anything yet.

It's a fundamental characteristic of an operational TTC line...I've been seeing broken windows on several stops for months now. Glad it's finally getting attention.

The area under the CP bridge seems untouched for months

The only works I've noted are sidewalk works at weston, and work on the retaining wall/ramp on the SW corner of signet/arrow. There was some utility work back in the winter, but I've not seen any major work there in at least a year. The designs exist, so I presume there is just some issue with CP.

Did anyone at that Ford presser bother to ask about Finch lrt ?

I was driving along finch west during rush hour and on the 400 off ramp the train got stuck behind cars blocking the tracks exiting the highway. Hopefully that doesn't happen once the train is operating

They are testing trains today. Just saw one pass me by while I was at the red light at Kipling

So trains (streetcars) do get stuck behind red lights...

Not sure signal priority is turned on yet since the line isn't in operation.
I know it's a small thing but it bothers me that they didn't stick with red and white for the LRTs. It's politics, Metrolinx wanting to show off that they funded this.

If they are "testing" or "operating as if in revenue service", then the traffic signals on Line 6 (and Line 5) should be turned on for transit priority NOW.
