Why don't they just have the ribbon cutting ceremony tomorrow and then operate the LRT with replacement buses like every other line in the city?

Was at Kennedy to transfer to the RT, on the way up there didn't seem to be any sign that there is a Line 5 to transfer to inside the Kennedy station, must have missed it.

On the level between the subway and surface, you can see the new entrance points to Line 5 ... boarded up last time I was there.
Edit: You can see there's two pedestrian walkways from the Line 5 mezzanine level to Line 2, in this animated walkthrough.
The video is a walkthrough from the new western Line 5 entrance, down to the mezzanine, and through the new tunnel to the GO station. It turns to the right to see the tunnels to Line 2 (and 3 LOL)

Hey!! Why are these two trees still here? Weren't they supposed to have been cut years ago? Boy, are they in trouble. How did they miss them? Get someone to cut them down in March.

A baffling project, to be sure. What exactly are they doing that requires these trees to be cut, but then it's okay for new ones to go in the place of the removed trees?

Looks like they are testing some of the lighting on the outdoor stations

the financial benefits for platform screens doors is to limit the amount of trash and debris that gets on the tracks and damage both the tracks and wheels.
you save more in maintenance than the cost of install platform screen doors

I don't think that's a problem big enough to actually pay back the cost of the platform doors.

Upcoming TTC subway closures and weekend diversions
March 10, 2023
The following event will result in adjustments to TTC service this weekend:
From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sun., March 12, the 19 Bay, 72B Pape, and 121 Esplanade-River will be diverting to accommodate the Toronto St. Patrick’s Day Race.
Customers are encouraged to leave themselves extra time when travelling on those routes and visit ttc.ca for help planning their trips.
Monday to Thursday
Mon., March 13 through Thurs., March 16, subway service on the portion of Line 1 between Lawrence and St Clair stations will end at 11 p.m. nightly due to Metrolinx construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (ECLRT).
Replacement shuttle buses will run frequently, stopping at each station along the route. TTC staff will be on hand to direct customers to shuttle boarding and offloading locations, which will vary from station to station. In addition to the shuttles, the 97 Yonge bus will be available as an alternative during the closure.
As Lawrence Station is not yet accessible, customers travelling southbound on Line 1 who require an accessible connection should exit the train at York Mills Station and see any TTC customer service employee for assistance.
All stations will remain open for people to load their PRESTO card or purchase PRESTO Tickets and connect to surface routes.
Nightly single-track operation
Beginning at 11 p.m. on Mon., March 13 nightly through Thurs., March 16, trains on Line 1 between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Pioneer Village stations will alternate use of the southbound tracks to accommodate maintenance work on the northbound tracks. Regular service will resume the following morning.
The TTC will operate a subway shuttle train between Vaughan Metropolitan Centre and Pioneer Village stations. The subway shuttle train will run on the southbound track, while repair work is carried out on the northbound track.
Customers will board northbound trains on the southbound side of the platforms and may experience slightly longer than normal wait and travel times.
Customers who require Wheel-Trans service can speak with any TTC customer service staff member for assistance.
While the TTC does most subway maintenance at the conclusion of service each night, it continues to require weekend and early weeknight closures to complete critical infrastructure and state-of-good-repair work.
The TTC is committed to keeping customers informed about work and events that impact service and about alternate routes. For the most up-to-date information, follow @TTCNotices on Twitter or sign up for eAlerts.

Doors Open Toronto
May 27 & 28, 2023
See link.If Line 5 does not open before May 27 or 28 of 2023, could the stations be opened for the public to view? Leaving the stations that are incomplete closed?
Of course, if Line 5 opens before then, this post becomes moot.

It won't, but that's not too bad of an idea
