Maybe this IS the announcement for Finch.

I don't think that they would announce it than 5 days later do a press conference... (⊙ˍ⊙)

It's possible it could be the "media" opening. The politicians and media get to take a ride on it and do the photo-ops, then it opens a couple of days later for the rest of use plebeians.

We saw these signs this morning and my son was sooooooooo excited. Now I'll have to go up to Finch to ride the streetcar. Any destinations up there for a six year old?

I was going to say avoid Jane/Finch.

Huh? Jane & Finch is fine to visit, particularly the two shopping centres including the McDonald’s.

This morning, this entrance still looked like this. In late afternoon, a new sign had appeared! Sorry, no picture, maybe I'll take one tomorrow, weather permitting.
From what I can see, comparing it to an older photo, changes are: (1) There is a red box around the whole sign, which wasn't there before (and I think it looks better now),
and (2) They added a "5" in a circle - in red! (The line is officially orange!)
Also, I was looking at a bust stop next to this entrance, and it has a new sticker with 5 in circle (in orange this time), and also says "Line 5 shuttle bus" (or something like that). I will try to get a pic of that too.
Also also, last week Kelson posted a picture of the frame for a new structure at the corner of Don Mills and Wynford (pictured below), and I said I think it's one of those big white semi-circular storage sheds seen on other Metrolinx construction sites. It is now covered over and ready for business. Another thing to take a picture of tomorrow.

Dundas/Sherbourne makes Jane/Finch feel like Rosedale these days. Jane and Finch is relatively tame

I was on the 505 Streetcar on Monday mid-afternoon going to grab the subway. At All Saints Church there were people openly shooting up drugs, lighting up glass crack pipes, addicts laying across the sidewalk. Meanwhile the police just drive on by, as if drug possession and use is not a crime. I swear, it’s the churches in downtown east that are the epicentre of the homeless industrial complex that enables all this madness.

I went to law school at York. I'm not concerned about taking my kid to Jane and Finch, especially during the hours he's awake.

Drug possession and use is not treated as a crime. I'm pretty sure it's official (maybe not "OFFICIAL" official) TPS policy that you would never be charged for drug possession if that was the only offence you're committing at the time (though they will tag it on if you are committing another offence). They don't have the resources to round up everyone out there in possession of drugs, and we wouldn't want to spend the kind of money it would take to resource that.

I was wrong, the "5" is orange, as it should be, not red (hmm, it still looks red, I think it's orange only when the sun is shining on it)
And by the way, isn't it silly to put a "(do not enter) violators will be prosecuted" sign on a locked door?

Also today, on the southwest corner, by the secondary entrance (where all station entrance photos were taken)

One of my friends also mentioned that the Metrolinx symbol seemed red compared to the TTC. Checking the wayfinding standards:
- Metrolinx (PDF page 94) says the colour is Pantone 165 C or #d24619
- TTC (PDF page 13) is using Pantone 021 or #eb8738

seriously wtf....did they not use all of their budget and resources already? why are they wasting money and time to redo a sign that hasnt even seen a day of service yet?
misappropriation of funds and/or incompetence once again...
