I wonder if some of them will be open for Doors Open Toronto?

Doors stuck open?

They have no rights to blame them when they copied their procurement and construction process.
This tunnel first and excavate the station later plan is designed to be a decade long. TTC subway never took this long as they tunnel and excavate at the same time. Now just watch the Scarborough subway extension become their failure.

This cheap tunneling idea is claimed to reduce disruption during tunneling but extends the duration of disruption when evacuation takes so long. They should really go back to the old way and just buy 3 TBMs for Scarborough. Once tunneling is done they would have converted the launch shaft into a station. The digging would have been done always.

Now that the stations contracts are signed for the SSE, I'm hoping they can start digging at Scarborough centre shortly, and if they start digging at Lawrence East there is plenty of time to spare.
One could hope anyways

I just chimed into that thread too but they also took these signs down at the Mount Dennis station earlier this week for some reason. I will try get some pics the next time I walk by.

Just following up on this...it looks like new signage has been installed at Mount Dennis...the only changes I can note from the original signs are the GO and UP logos beside the train image

FFS, they're still going by the old signage standard, instead of doing things properly!!

Man, I'm annoyed by this inconsistency!

That dashed my hopes for Don Valley.

Train and LRT icons don't follow Metrolinx wayfinding guidelines. GO and UP icons don't match design standards. What a mess. They even use Mount Dennis as an example in the guidelines

Crosslinx and their signage subcontractor still have control over the project. Contractually Metrolinx has no say until the project is handed over.

So we're now on our fourth iteration of Metrolinx station/stop pylons...

First the Line 5 ones that melted:

Then the original Line 6 ones:

Then the Line 5 replacements:

Then the Line 6 replacements:

... all before either Lines 5 or 6 have opened.

And I would argue, it's a case of sanity slowly prevailing. The TTC logo is probably the single most brand recognised logo in the city. Making it prominent, and downsizing that silly T that some high priced consultant flogged to ML novices who hadn't been around long enough to know better..... is very much a good thing.

Speaking of which, Kennedy's ones have been taken out for a while now. Looks to be just the light strips.

It's a pricey game of horseshoes.

Don't worry. Shuttle buses will run.

Just saw a couple trains stop at aga khan; seems like they're running at full service speed now as they took off much faster than what's been seen up until now. Also they're using the ttc door chime
