^ Sounds like they are using the same playbook as the Ontario provincial gov't (science centre).

Good find. Instability (sand) + water ingress (from the deposits). Probably why they cannot stop the TBM in this area (to prevent tunnel face from collapsing?). If the TBM stops, it could lead to instability and make it hard to start back up (or maybe this already happened?). Why they cannot...

Here are a couple of quotes (pretty much the entire update on the project) from Phil: An unexpected problem. They were supposed do be under the 401 in early March. From my Feburary post (paraphrasing from a previous board meeting) we had the TBM somewhere just north of the 401: I'll say it...

I did. 16:15. The transcript is accurate.

Was that a slip of what they hope to achieve (by year end)?

They had travelling exhibits on the main (level 2) floor every quarter or so.

Rode by Huntingwood lanes the other day and noticed the greening median sections are full of weeds. The city informs me they will plant mid-july if anyone was wondering if the overgrown mess is what they planned for...

As a former project manager, I'm well aware of unknowns (risks); but that is no excuse for not having estimates and communicating slippage to your customers (the public). Metrolinx has failed to do so on a few projects, and now all we get is silence. It leaves an impression of poor management...

Speaking of... After some back and forth, I got a non-answer about the LSE Express trains; essentially, they don't have a schedule. I find it quite frustrating the way they don't really read your messages (this message below after we discussed I wasn't looking for reasons why there is no...

I think some new information: One reason for immediate closure is to give staff time to plan for whatever science centre we are going to have (temporarily). The messaging sounds as if this would be not possible to achieve in tandem of keeping it open. Many other buildings (in Ontario) have the...

A minor point for clarity, that figure above represents approvals for hire and not actual sector growth figures. I think the pont still stands generally what sectors were looking to take advantage...

I'll put in my top of head comments... There was talk a while back about how the OSC was struggling financially for years in prior comments. This could be explained by its location (more difficult to access from downtown) - but then I thought so is the zoo... I suggest these two have the most...

I would recommend repurposing the pedestrian bridge thread.

So the TBM has been parked since February? I find that.. Hard to believe... But astounding if true....

Is it really suprising given the locations of the meetings?

Am I reading this correctly that for ~25MM over a few years (understanding these are only parts and labour costs) to be fixed by Oct 31 we could keep going? They are estimating roughly 5-6 percent of the roof across all three buildings are critical/high risk? Doesn't immediately sound like we...

I guess the 'last day of operations' was also a clue... My bad.

Oh... I already asked (email)...

I don't think we know yet if this is a permanent closure. With the new location being ready in '28, I wonder how this affects the move. Do we speed up (the move) or, we're going to spend money on a temporary fix just to demolish in 4 years, or just have no science centre for 4 years? I imagine...

Is the return of LSE express trains reliant on packages A through C? I wonder if Metrolinx still communicates they are on track for August reintroduction. I note that they removed the blog post indicating such (original link)... So perhaps some communication will come soon.
