The extent of the Corktown Station site hoarding includes the future transit-oriented community development as well as the actual station. For Moss Park, however, it's just the station but the construction method may be cut-cover because it looks like it covers the full extent of the underground station volume.
They don't need that extra leverage when passing through empty space, as they don't need the extra force to break rock.
From this cross rail document, they used temporary rails and hydraulic jacks to move the TBM.

I thought they were always on the rails and could jack themselves. Today I learned something.From this cross rail document, they used temporary rails and hydraulic jacks to move the TBM.

TBM Station Transits - Crossrail Learning Legacy
1. Introduction Metros are underground railways where the majority of its structures are tunnels. However Metros are also comprised of other critical underground structures that allows it to function as a commuter railway. They include stations, shafts, bifurcation caverns and cross over...

I'm pretty sure it's Metrolinx that has to deal with this graffiti. It's their property.

You obviously haven’t been to the west aend of the city because it’s been completely covered in graffiti for over a decade… knowing this…. They still used the same garbage solution a decade-+ later despite rallying cries from the community. Glass also has little to no sound deadening properties and installing glass in what is currently a commercial parking lot is absolutely ridiculous. European cities use actual sound deadening materials and also grow vegetation or have fake vegetation on walls like this which prevents graffiti from ever happening in the first place. What makes this an even tougher pill to swallow is that we’re spending more on this project than if it were tunneled underground since Mx forgot that every single bridge needs to be torn down and rebuilt when they first made the argument that running it within the corridor would save $$$ when it has proven to cost more. Imagine spending more on a worse outcome for communities. Mx is an absolute joke of an agency
Tunnelling the line completely would cost much, much more than reusing the existing corridor and rebuilding the bridges. Bridges that would have needed rebuilding regardless of if the Ontario Line were being built in the corridor or not.You obviously haven’t been to the west aend of the city because it’s been completely covered in graffiti for over a decade… knowing this….

Nope. You’re wrong. The TTC that was complete with an environmental study (that was disregarded by Mx and Ford) WAS cheaper and the OL budget increased by 2x and still counting. Even still that’s a secondary point to the problem that Mx lied about and committed to using “graffiti proof” material when in fact they’ve gone ahead and used the same garbage that CLEARLY isn’t graffiti proof and barely has any impact on sound. Glass as a noise wall. Even a 20 year year old non engineer would know that’s not gonna work.
