I dont think thats true, notice how alstom is suspiciously missing from the RFP's? I think theyre waiting to be the designer and builder of the trainsets for the winner. Alstom does signalling too in europe.

from the video: excavation is 70% complete.

am i the only one whose phone takes like 15 seconds staring at the qr codes to unlock then?

I think hes implying a bit too much. There are "public realm improvements", "curb extensions" and "streetcar platform upgrades" which include the ones where bikes can roll on through like the one at king and portland But yea its not exactly bike lanes

so sounds like we wont see the actual finished schedule until next year. While it sucks to wait, Its not like we would be seeing anything this year since ONxpress is taking over operations in january anyway

Back in November when the streetcars were backed up end to end from peter to church, It was the intersection blockers at bay and yonge that really stood out to me, as soon as you pass the intersection it was clear all the way past church. This is an anecdote but Its not really clear to me which...
