Doug Ford has had it with Eglinton Crosstown construction​

The amount of times that signs been changed is a succinct way to describe this whole transit line, from start to...whatever its finished state becomes/ is declared as.

At this point, I dont even think Metrolinx understands their own wayfinding designs.

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.

I went to York and a fair number of security bulletins were because of "community members" coming to campus.

November 29 2025 (today)
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?

I was trying to figure out what changed between your pic and what I posted on Nov 15 and it's literally just that the red border is thicker. MX needs to make up its mind

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?

Plaza Latina seems like the most interesting thing along that stretch of Finch!

The Finch line MSF might be a cool place to get off and check out. Though, I haven’t been there since construction ended, so I don’t know if they built a big, tall wall around everything. That would suck.

I didn't realize the sign had been updated to show the line number, before it changed again. That's crazy!

The forum allowed me to edit my post from this morning, and I was able to add a clip of your picture from Nov 15. Hope you don't mind!

Not at all. Your documentation of the signage changes is appreciated

It's because the standard is bad, and Metrolinx has absolutely heard feedback supporting that conclusion. I'd frankly be more annoyed if there wasn't any sort of refinement because stubbornly sticking to a flawed standard is the worst thing they could do right now.

They’re like the corporate embodiment of Doug ford himself. Opaque, mistake-prone and stubborn as all hell.

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

The difference is larger than I expected:

Metrolinx's orange is close to International Orange, the same colour as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

So on November 25th they switched closer to MX wayfinding standard (except for their using the LRV space invader icon) by moving away from the round wheelchair icon unique to this line to explaining that an elevator exists here. Then they moved further away from that with some strange border?? I don't get it... what is this border going to be for a multiple line / multiple operator situation? It doesn't make any sense.
