Passed by Museum station today. It appears the elevator has started taking its shape as I spotted the curve of the structure peaking out.

Rosedale station still doesn't have their elevators completed so they obviously missed that deadline. Not sure when that will be completed.

As part of the TTC’s Easier Access Program August 25 -September 30 is catch basin relocation at Old Mill. August 30:

Rosedale is complete. Not sure when they will open, but should be imminent, hoarding is down.

Lawrence Station Elevator work is getting close to done. Transit Toronto has pics of the new/renovated Mezzanine and Hoarding around the elevators are down, but fencing remains up with further finishing work required.

Interesting given that TTC elevator schedule you shared indicated Q2 2026 for Lawrence.
With Rosedale being almost done (if not already), I wonder how Christie, Warden, and Summerhill are progressing which call for 2025 openings.

Based on my previous walks (last year!) past the new elevator building at Summerhill, I'd be surprised if we're waiting much longer for it to be complete...they should really be done by now IMO.

Warden is progressing well.
The Elevator Shaft between Line 2 and the Mezzanine is in place with what looks like a cab in the hole. The hoarding is gone so I suspect it will be done shortly.
You can't really see the elevator from Ground to the Mezzanine but the exterior walls of the entrance vestubule are in place and if I had to fathom a guess they are assembling the elevator as we speak.
One interesting tidbit is that the signs indicated a 2027 opening for the elevators, that was later covered over so now there is no actual date for the opening listed. Based on what I am seeing, it looks like at least one of the elevators will open later this year.

This looks pretty nice. I hope the rest of the station gets the same ceiling as part of a broader renovation.

I agree the new ceiling finish is more attractive, too bad they stuck w/the clunky looking box lighting though.
But I have no expectation of them renovating the balance of the station, and if they do, I imagine they won't bother trying to match the finishes. That's been an ongoing sore point between myself and certain staff at TTC.
Either match everything properly, contrast it just perfectly (so that the new makes sense w/the old), or do a whole station. Weird mismatched stuff that shares no design language drives me nuts!

What happens when the elevator is out-of-service due to maintenance? Can we get on a parallel running accessible bus to get to another station on the same subway line, if there is one?

Yes. The 117.

With the same 5 minute headway? How long to get from Warden to Yonge for example, if you're using a wheelchair or walker, if the elevator is out-of-service at Warden?
