But someone cleans the interior of new York trains at theend of the line before they get sent off again. I prefer that then getting on the ttc at 3 pm with metro newspapers laying all over the place from the morning

The TTC cleans trains as well at the ends of the lines. There's usually a crew at Kennedy that we see when we come home after visiting family in Scarborough.
 
I used to take the train daily to Downsview and rarely saw anyone cleaning the interiors. I have not taken the TTC daily in the last 5 years though.

It's a much more recent thing - perhaps in the last 2 or 3 or 4 years that they've been doing it.

I stopped commuting to Vaughan about 5 years ago, and they had only started cleaning the trains at Finch Station - but not yet at any of the other terminals.

They started in March 2012 at both Kennedy and Finch.

It was an early initiative by Byford, along with the novel idea of cleaning the bathrooms regularly!

It's going to be interesting to keep an eye on many of these metrics, because things will most likely get only worse under Leary. Byford went out of his way to ensure customer service was at the forefront of the TTCs mandate no matter how piss pour service could have been in certain sections of the system. Leary on the other hand has shown that he really doesn't care much about it.

I just want a window cleaner and a person with a mop and duster at Old Mill Station. Even with the increased scrutiny when I travel through one of the gems of a station every day I shudder at how dirty the windows are. I actually have never seen them clean!

Actually saw Byford and Leary at the Rebel House last week, I'm pretty sure it's Leary's local. Incidentally his email is: richard.leary@ttc.ca

I've had issues dealt with within 48 hours after emailing him. He *must* be kept on his toes as Byford was very proactive.
 
Pre-cast Concrete Installation for Facility Services Building Construction at Eglinton Station
What Work is Taking Place?

Beginning as early as September 8, 2018, crews will install pre-cast concrete for the Facility Services Building for the TTC Line 1 Subway system. Crews will also undertake various activities inside the TTC station.

The future Facility Services Building will house an upgraded ventilation system and will be located on the TTC Line 1 corridor (Yonge-University), south of Berwick Avenue. The new ventilation system will include smoke extraction for emergency situations at Eglinton Station. Fans will be equipped with acoustic dampers to reduce noise, and, outside of emergency situations, will only run for testing purposes.

For details of this phase of work, please refer to the presentation materials from the public meeting held on May 7 on the Crosstown website.

Timing

  • Due to the location of the new building, the work can only be carried out safely while the subway is not in operation. There is a series of weekend subway closures throughout the entire year. Below are the upcoming planned weekend subway closures for fall 2018:
September 8/9 and October 27/28
September 1/2, September 22/23, October 13/14 & October 20/21 (Cancelled)

  • Additional weekend subway closures are anticipated throughout 2018. More details to follow.
  • Construction activities will begin on each Friday before these weekends, and will continue during regular working hours (7:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m.) and overnight (11:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.) until the subway re-opens the following Monday morning.

Transit Information

There will be no subway service at TTC Eglinton Station on each of the weekends listed. Access to TTC Eglinton Station Bus Terminal will be maintained, allowing TTC users to access shuttle buses for the duration of the closure. Please visit the TTC website for more details under “Scheduled Subway Closures” on subway closures and shuttle bus operation. Relocation and re-routing of bus stops is done in consultation with TTC to ensure construction can continue safely while minimizing impact on the community and customers. Please watch for posted notices indicating new information.

​
What to Expect
  • Construction zones and laydown areas will be set up on Berwick Avenue between Duplex Avenue and Yonge Street, and in TTC’s corridor (south of Berwick Avenue).
  • Nearby residents and businesses can expect noise in the area caused by large construction equipment, heavy truck traffic entering and exiting the work zone, and equipment and material storage within designated work zones.
  • Work will occur on a 24 hour schedule on the TTC subway weekend closures listed above.
  • All access to business entrances will be maintained throughout construction.
  • Access to Oxford Loading Dock and TTC Bus Bay will be maintained at all times.

Traffic and Pedestrian Impacts
  • Berwick Avenue will be closed mid-block during the weekend closure beginning on each Friday at approximately 7:00 a.m. and will re-open at approximately 7:00 a.m. Monday. Traffic details may be updated to reflect design changes at a later date and will be communicated separately in advance.
  • TTC bus access into bus terminal and Oxford loading dock will remain open.
  • Some driveways may be impacted during the closure of Berwick Avenue. Property owners with affected driveways have been contacted individually.
  • Pedestrian access will be maintained along the north side of Berwick Avenue from Duplex Avenue to Yonge Street. At times, pedestrians may be asked to halt or divert around the crane movements.
Travelling Smart during Construction
Travel delays are expected with the Crosstown construction. Please allow extra time for your journey. Traffic will be extra heavy at peak periods during the Crosstown construction. When possible, please travel during the off-peak period between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
