  1. First time to the Aga Khan museum via Crosstown. Train managed 23 km/h between Ionview and AKP, which I suppose will have to do. Much nicer riding it when it wasn't jam-packed.

    Anyway, since this is the Aga Khan museum, here's the blue raspberry lion again

  3. TTC Line 5 Eglinton Crosstown is finally open, and is in free service today. It's pretty busy, and as the dust inscription on Kennedy station's window says: it's finally open! 😐

  5. Eglinton LRT apparently enters its last day of testing today according to Metrolinx CEO

    There was never truly transparency as when they started true revenue testing and if they stopped or reset the testing after the ward accident, but i guess we will take every good news.

  7. Revenue service testing to start this week for the Eglinton LRT, according to Metrolinx CEO. It lasts at least 30 days (could be more)

    It's a good milestone to reach

  9. Crosstown is running trains that match the schedule at the stops: every three minutes or so at rush hour. Escalators are running at Kennedy Station. Info boards show Line 5 running with no issues.

    There's just one thing missing...

  11. I don’t really trust #metrolinx seeing how they did the stations on the Eglinton lane. Tons of valuable real estate wasted by small stations that are taking the whole block. No condo or business on top, nothing, at places where the amount of pedestrians will be super high.

  13. Ooh, I think the Crosstown may actually be doing something. Bus stops along route 34 have little change signs attached. There's a QR code but the TTC url doesn't resolve yet

  15. Metrolinx provides update on long-delayed Eglinton LRT after finding software flaw

    It’s a bit of horseshit. I have serious doubts it’s the software that is holding the entire thing for years. For once, software could have been worked on years ago.

  17. The growing complexity of client needs and funding challenges prompts Cool Aid to temporarily shutter its Downtown Community Centre

    That outreach work won’t be done at Cool Aid’s new Crosstown housing project on the former Tally Ho property on Douglas

  18. @CodeRedTO I would love to know what “substantially removed” means in quantifiable terms. Too much subjective language from Metrolinx and I can’t help but feel it is meant to obsfucate. #eglinton #crosstown #OrganizationRunByAnOverpricedEuropeanImportWithAnImpressiveTrackRecordOfFailure

  22. The view when cycling the DVP which is simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Despiring, you might say.

    Oh, Crosstown. Maybe someday.

  24. Definition of pointless: the escalator is running inside Kennedy #CrossTown station. The station likely won't open for at least three months, but there goes the escalator anyway

    It pleases me to see that there are pigeons inside the yet-to-open station. Wouldn't be #Toronto #Transit without its coating of pidge guano.

  26. @c_9 I still found some of the info interesting.

    1. Software issues, first time I hear of the software being a problem. They are already at v6 working on v7... why?! All along we were told issues were physical.. now its software?

    2. The progress on the occupancy certificates, which has definitely improved since last update.

  29. But today, they seem to be ripping out many of the lamp standards, digging big holes (noisily), and playing "let's thump something repeatedly with an excavator and make all the houses jump"

    Ah, #Crosstown ... never live near a PPP construction project.

  31. I have no idea what they're doing at Kennedy #Crosstown station ... but I suspect, neither do they.

    So for about a year, there's been a finished parking lot. Landscaped, even. It's been locked closed, of course, because the Crosstown isn't ready. The subway extension seems to be using it as a construction office (complete with noisy diesel genset running 24/7, which Crosstown agreed not to have)
