I just noticed it's from the Transit City documents even though I found it in the crosstown website. Very interesting to see what could have been. View attachment 223122

Glass half full. Glass half empty.

It's all coming. The Don Mills LRT has morphed into the Ontario Line. The West extension is one of four priority projects of the province. And the Jane LRT is on the city's short list. Two thirds of this blue line is scheduled to open in 2 years and the Don Mills part in 10. We pretty much got this.

 

[TransitBart]

Oh no. So we're going to be getting a lot of "THIS CAR IS SHORTTURNING. THIS IS THE LAST STOP. PLEASE EXIT THE TRAIN HERE" ??‍

Or you could read the platform next train signs - digital - woo hoo! - or the digital scroll signs....

In my mind's eye...

Platform Sign

Line Terminus Time to next train
Line 5 Kennedy 1:00 minute
Line 5 Laird 3:00 minutes
Line 5 Kennedy 6:00 minutes

Who knows? It works elsewhere. I have a short fuse and I managed to survive this.

I don't think that anyone saw this project being built on time.

The stickler is that it's only 7 months. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2 years.

Good thing it wasn't your ass....

I take no joy in this. I'm dyin' to use it.

Before the critics come out, forecast anything a decade ahead and see how close you come. This is largely on time and as big a number as $300 million is, it's a 2% variance with $12.2 billion.

Very funny..... The photo though did show the renderings about the digital boards related to your earlier post.

Metrolinx will probably pretend this thing is gonna open in September 2021 until October 1st of that year. They're so absurdly full of crap when it comes to anything relating to transparency.

Yup. Ottawa's LRT was supposed to only be like a 6 month delay at first. Ended up being much longer.

Truth will be a pretty scarce commodity this year. The likelihood of delay is well understood and the overspend is pretty minor on a project of this scale. The real damage is to the whole idea of P3.and to ML’s credibility in monitoring and enforcing them.

ML has a contract that calls for delivery in Sept 2021 and for contractual/legal reasons they will have to insist on that date. But the more they insist on talking to that date, when it can’t happen, the more impotent and in denial they will sound.

Oh yeah, don’t forget....the contract has thirty years’ worth of maintenance included. Nothing like suing the party you will be dealing with for decades to come.

ML: ignore internal report. Fake news

Reality: crosslinx still picking up dirt at many station

I think we're more surprised they are aware of it but they'll tell you everything is going as plan. We'll do the same for the Ontario line.
