I assumed (or hoped?) that this was what was happening too.

Not connected. 509 shutdown is for overhead work.

As far as I know, there needs to be an EA to do it as well the tracks south of the intersection along with moving QQW tracks south to the crossover since those tracks are due for replacement. Then, Waterfront can finish QQW like the rest of the road.
This was raised during the Reset study. It even goes back as far as the first design of QQW where TTC stated they didn't have the $15 Million to redo the trackwork and it would have to wait until early 2020's to make the change when the tracks had to be replace. Been part of Waterfront plan to rebuild that section of QQW and deal with buses/traffic gaining access to the southside of TTC ROW.

What is meant by shifting the tracks from Queens Quay to Fort York? I have no idea what this proposal entails. Surely we are not advocating to remove service west of Spadina?

I don't recall any reports at the time that she was employed by the TTC or the city. There's a big difference between single person, who pissed off an ex-girlfriend by choosing someone else and married man with a direct subordinate, who then arranged for her a job in a company related that you are a director of.
I don't think Tory even had to resign over it. It's not like Rob Ford resigned over far, far, worse.

I figured there'd be one somewhere. I'd hardly expect the place to have an elevator/hoist/crane capable of lifting a large & heavy vehicle to the 2nd floor (obviously the 2nd floor must be able to handle large crowds of people, but I made no assumption about it being designed for the weight of large vehicles).

Thought this may interest some here, it is the TTC 2017 Board Period calendar

I think the allusion made here is not that she was a City employee, but much more literal in that they had sex in his office in City Hall.

I think these were seen as separate projects with the work on Bathurst/Fleet to be done when the tracks there needed to be replaced (now??) and the ROW on QQE moving to the side of the street between Spadina and Bathurst at some point when someone has lots of $$$ as THAT is a far bigger project.

The plan to redo QQ been on the books since 2008 or about with the Fleet intersection from QQ to Fort York since 2019 or about if it is on the books.
If you are going to move the ROW to the west side of Bathurst to deal with Fleet intersection, you need to deal with the current ROW from the Lake Shore to QQ at the same time as the alignment will be mismatch at Fleet. To do it right, Lake Shore would have to be done twice if the northern section is done first.
Since there been no EA for moving the ROW, the work will be replacing what is there now for the Fleet intersection with traffic still interfering with the turning of the 511.

The Star seems to be doing their part to launder and boost the couch surfer.
Edward Keenan: Scandals ain’t what they used to be, sadly. The re-emergence of Adam Giambrone reminds us how far we’ve fallen since 2010
You look at the stuff political figures shrug off these days, and old-fashioned premarital infidelity seems somewhat less disqualifying it did at the time.

This is probably the first time for a 504 on the restored tracks.
I guess Adelaide isn't ready yet west of York?

Or the staff at TTC who set up detours have not yet found out about it? It LOOKS ready to me but ....

Without opining on the merits of particular individuals, the TTC is a massive city agency and a massive transit agency which deserves the best available leadership, wherever it comes from. It should have transit leaders from all over the world fighting to lead it, and not merely the ones looking to pad their pension pots after mediocre stints elsewhere. If this job can’t attract that kind of leader, we need to look seriously at why, whether it is the compensation, the governance environment or anything else which is causing that, and not just for positions at CEO level either.
