You’re overqualified. MX has low standards to maintain!I think Poison Ivy would work as a great barrier for ROWs, I may just suggest it to Metrolinx in one of their town halls. Not sure if they would go for it though, without paying millions to their consultants to follow along with it.
But then again, maybe I should apply to be one of their consultants. Decisions, decisions
"It’s all part of Metrolinx’s goal to provide environmentally sustainable light rail transit service across Toronto"
That is a good question. It sounds like the precedent has been set and Waterfront East LRT is expecting grass between the rails. Was the contracts or public reviews for Finch and Hurontario prior to the grass on Eglinton LRT being decided?
Nope, grass on Eglinton has been proposed for some time - at least since 2014. That's well before Finch/Hurontario contracts were signed.
The ridership modelling (which included new developments) for the route is well within LRT capacity. If you go back and check it out, it's no where near the top end of capacity.Kind of unrelated to the grass topic currently going on (which look great btw).... Is anyone else concerned about capacity issues on the Eglinton LRT within the end of the decade? Another 10 towers proposed a few days ago between 42-52 stories at eglinton and wynford. Also another development on the south west corner of don mills and eglinton got proposed yesterday (see link below) we don't know the number of towers but would be a safe bet it will be at least 10 of them considering the space there.
Ontario Line realistically won't be in place till early 2030s. Overcrowding on the Eglinton LRT will be the norm with perhaps busses during peak hours lol? I also guess they won't have an option and will need to make it grade separated with serious signal priority until Don Mills... we still don't know how many condos will be built on the South East of the intersection yet that development project is probably ramping up in the background before they submit their apps.

Stuffy Toronto office park to be transformed with more than 4,000 new homes
Nothing feels more like driving into or out of Toronto from the north like being flanked by hundreds of drab-looking corporate office buildings along…www.blogto.com

I’d be amazed if we see more than 3,500 people at peak hour travelling westbound into Yonge station at peak hour once the OL is open. The trains will be very empty.
The 32 Eglinton West bus, in 2018, carried 35,000 customers per day (14,900 on Sundays). That's using buses (46 buses in the morning rush, 41 buses in the afternoon rush). Expect to see much more people using light rail vehicles.
I have 4,000 clams to say that your numbers are on the low side.
