So what was the point of spending all the money on the red gates along Bayview that were meant to be closed when exactly this happened? All the pictures show all these gates open and just cop cars or pylons blocking the way.

This bridge is not actually connected to any roads. It's just there for future proofing

Are you aware how narrow the MGT is? And 60km? Where does that number come from? It's 22km officially. If you're talking about the Waterfront Trail, past the MGT it's just a patch work of parks/still too narrow trails/side streets (and in some cases major streets). EDIT: I've found some old...

And you want to fit 10,000 people there??

Are you aware how many people participate in this event? What alternative location do you suggest? Parks & trails would not be even remotely close to providing enough capacity.

Not a fundraiser but there is Toronto Triathlon Festival that "only" closes the eastbound/northbound lanes, These are the only two events that close the highways I agree that closing the subway on the same day is poor planning

@Admiral Beez This event happens every year, always on the first Sunday of June. And it's not like it wasn't publicized that the closure was happening. Living in a big city comes with dealing with events that may have impacts on your plans. Just like how an event that interests you may impact me...

Do we know what the showstopper is was?

It almost looks like one of the contributing factors of this odd design is a requirement to put a cage around the sides that face the golf course (I can see what looks like a cage on the roof and side facing the golf course, but not the opposite side)

Aren't there already signs saying it will eventually close around 2025?

At Queen they are ALSO installing digital ad signs between the tracks. Sooo, ads everywhere!!

I think the sarcasm went right over your head.

Anyone notice the Presto pucks at the subway stations seem to have been replaced? They only have 4 LED lights now and they seem to be just as fast at detecting my presto card as the original green readers before they were replaced with the pucks

Line 1 and 2 maps (not sure about Line 4) both use the vertical styling at stations so maybe that's something they've decided to be consistent on.

I agree, I'm just saying the new maps they've been installing look terrible with the LED's and I heard that they were going to turn them off. 🤔

I thought the plan was to just shut off the lights? They've been replacing the maps with new maps that don't have transparent holes for the lights.

For those curious this pic shows the cross over just south of St. Clair: https://www.toronto.ca/explore-enjoy/history-art-culture/online-exhibits/web-exhibits/web-exhibits-transportation/the-ttc-100-years-of-moving-toronto/canadas-first-subway-construction-begins/

The plan AFAIK is to turn them off. In fact some of the TRs already have new maps with solid white circles instead (the light can still pass through but it doesn't look great).

Toronto's historical imagery doesn't go back far enough but I think you can see the old path it followed here: http://jpeg2000.eloquent-systems.com/toronto.html?image=ser12/s0012_fl1947_it0018a.jp2

Could be anything really. Could have shifted resources to underground work until the Spring, shifted resources to Yonge/Eglinton, etc
