Lol, this graphic throws a shade at Scarborough. A sea of parking lots and gas stations.

This might have been posted already, but here is a pretty decent flyover of the Crosstown line - from Black Creek to Kennedy Station.

Will the LRT signals be different colours like the Waterloo route to not confuse drivers.

Since it's a linear line I don't think the transit priority signal will need to be used? Waterloo's system has turns.

Given how bad some of the drivers in this city are, might be a good idea to use it even on a linear line.

To save pennies, the MTO delay updating its website only when ordered to, not before, it seems.

I'm sure this has come up multiple times in this thread, but do we know which portions of track will have grass yet?

As far as anybody knows the answer to that question is none. I believe the Grass Median was quashed by Toronto Fire services so Metrolinx dropped if from the plan.

Metrolinx has stated that some sections of the ROW will be grassed, even going so far as to state that there will be 2 sections. But they have never said which sections those will be.

My guess it'll be near some of the portals. Fire Services aren't really going to be able to object as much there, as they aren't going to drive into the tunnel anyway.

I'm not convinced that Toronto Fire Services care either way. The only place I've ever heard about any supposed complaints from them has been here, and not directly from them.

You underestimate the power of the fire service and their advanced GPS.
