GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

[ProjectEnd]

Brand new 65 storey buildings don't have to worry about causing neighbouring structures to collapse.

This one does.


The only resistance from CPKC is to their own bridge falling. They have no concerns otherwise.

Dan, we both know that's simply not true.

Metrolinx has posted a whole bunch of quarterly reports from its upcoming board meeting on Nov. 27 on its documents page. There is way too much to summarize, but here are a few noteworthy things.

• The Finch West LRT will start revenue service on Dec. 7.
• The Scarborough Subway tunnel boring machine has tunnelled 3 km and is undergoing another planned maintenance stop south of Brimorton Dr.
• ECTS is being tested on the Richmond Hill Line.
• The Etobicoke Creek Bridge replacement on the Lakeshore West Line is expected to be done by the end of December.
• On the Kitchener Line, work with CN has progressed to detailed design on corridor upgrades.

There is a lot more in those documents. I have downloaded copies of the reports in case any of the 12 board meeting documents get pulled.

Interestingly, most of the links there are dead ends for me.......various, nothing there, page not working messages.

The Nov 27th meeting is not listed on the 'upcoming meetings' page.......

I have copies of all the documents as PDFs. I'm having a bit of trouble uploading them to UT. There should be 11 documents attached to this post. @nfitz has posted a copy of a 12th document in the Finch West thread.

I took screenshots of one of the documents.

Here is a second document.

Mods? @interchange42 or @ShonTron ? Do you have any way I can post these documents without taking screenshots of every page? I'm having trouble getting the PDFs to post. The PDFs upload, but they don't appear in the post.

Here is a third document.

So this is probably a stupid question but have their been any announced plans for Metrolinx to upgrade the Lakeshore East line stations in Durham? I assumed there would be since so many other stations have been modernized, including along the Lakeshore line (Eglinton, Guildwood, plus a bunch out West), but I couldn't find anything about it. I feel like I'm missing something cus it seems weird if there are no planned upgrades for Pickering/Ajax/Whitby/Oshawa beyond building parking garages.

not that i've heard of. They already have substantial canopys and are accesible which was the biggest part of the eglinton and guildwood upgrades

Here is a fifth document. I left out an appendix, which contains a chart of Kitchener line fares, and a copy of the fare by-laws, but I can post that later if anyone wants it.

Here is a sixth document.

Here is a seventh document.

Here are an eighth and ninth document.

Here is a tenth document. Other than the board meeting agenda, which I think is still publicly available, and a 12th one @nfitz already posted in the Finch West LRT thread, this is the last one.
