I doubt it, the new conventional signal system was meant to be used by the maintenance vehicles, instead of having to convert them to ATC. Now everything will be on the ATC system.

Every area can claim the same thing. We don't have the infrastructure or traffic will get worse. The Eglinton let is part of the infrastructure and it should help the traffic as well.

I guess we should just keep stuffing condos into Humber Bay Shores until the area breaks then.
On a serious note, isn't that what the development charges are for? To build the hard services and related infrastructure necessary to support the increased density? The major infrastructure piece (Eglinton Crosstown) is already nearly in place.

Let me start by clarifying my original statement - what I had intended to write was "...as any other installation as any replacement system previously. "
If it was a gong show I would have said that. About the only issue with it so far is that the original schedule was far too aggressive with its timelines, and so they're currently working with one that is more realistic.
No. It's being installed independently of the old signal system, which is then deactivated once the new system is turned on. At some point the old components are then removed entirely.

Why does everything need to be highrise? Why not some of the "missing middle" that Toronto lacks?

We need both in lots of places, really.

Speaking of Humber Bay Shores, we all one day hope an Waterfront West LRT, an express ferry and a GO Station could all exist in that area, to allow more convient ways to travel to support increased population. On Eglinton, this will as you said be a major step, for increased population and options to commute

Crossing my fingers that the city will pursue Waterfront LRT now that they're 'off the hook' for a few transit projects (Eglinton West, Ontario line).

This is about the corner of keele and Eglinton where the school and York centre is. I suggested ripping the whole place down and starting over.
Developers do the missing middle thing near Royal York on bloor, on avenue road where they can get more money per square foot. Or on st Claire west of the immediate subway area. Maybe between the underground stations on Eglinton we will see the missing middle. This is a huge site right on top of a under ground lrt stop. Look it up and across from the Weston road lrt stop where the grocery store is that too is slated for high rise. The church on the corner of Weston and Eglinton is slated for high rise.

It's looking good to Metrolinx, everyone else has moved onto 2022.

Metrolinx will pull a move by Julius Caesar by reforming the calendar and inserting a few months to the year and will finish on time by September 2021 on the Metrolinxian Calendar.
Conversion between Metrolinxian and Gregorian calendar has yet to be revealed by ML.
