Is there any possibility of building housing in these locations once the OL is complete?

Each entry specifies "part of lots". From that I imagine the 6 properties identified last may are needed in their entirety, but the rest likely only require small portions of the lots. Could be wrong though

This is how surveys are described. This expropriation is for the entire lots.

Not sure what's being communicated to the owners. For the expropriations on Pape between Riverdale and Langley, the message from ML to the owners was that they could return after completion of the construction, subject to the property condition.

Realize they'd be described that way if it were the whole lot, but curious how you know that it is in fact the whole lot. I can't find anything that indicates one way or the other

I live in this neighbourhood. My own survey looks/reads like this. It also shows neighbouring property descriptions which also read like this. There is a lot of history as to why these are written as they are, and perhaps I am not the right person to do justice to it. Still, I may be wrong.

Is there a map showing these properties? I'm not sure I fully appreciated the extent of this.

I'm honestly not sure either way... part lots are normal legal descriptions, but they're also listed as largely part of PIN xxx.... which isn't conclusory but does suggest they are not the full existing lot. It's really25-231-1 that we need to see to make any sense of this.

I remember reading somewhere that the OL trains will be delivered starting in 2028. Is that still the plan? Will the storage facility be ready to accept them (then ofc they'll end up gathering dust for over 5 years just like the L5 trams)?
lol one of my biggest fears is that the world will end before the T1s will...

Thanks. I hadn't even realized we were talking north of Danforth!
Gosh ... I'm trouble that they didn't discuss this during any of the community consultation and EA process. I'd think that this could open a door to appeals in the Ontario courts of undue process. If not successful, the residents could easily tie this up for years.

Finally got back over to the Lower Don Crossing and it's newly completed arch at sunset.

Just to clarify. West of Pape between Riverdale and Langley is Pape ave Jr public school. which is closed even tho originally Metrolinx was meant to keep it open during the sewer relocation. Then they discovered that even with best sound proofing they can't block all the noise esp. beeping of moving machinery. The fact the school is full of asbestos and there were worries about shaking is not helping.
The buildings East of Pape South of Riverdale down to Lane South Riverdale East Pape are barricaded even tho part of Pape is already repaved. It seems those remain connected to electricity so I was wondering if those are just accessible from back alley. Are those the buildings you meant?
