Jesus this thing looks bulky.... Hopefully the tapering changes that. Do we know how many retail units are going to be on the ground floor?

New signage is up

Wait, dumb question....is this one thats under construction the taller of the 2 buildings, or the shorter one? Because I thought that the shorter one didnt rotate until much higher up....

Out of curiosity, whats the difference between operator training and replicating service? Because the trains I've seen going along the line look a lot like replicating service..... They've been opening the doors, holding for a bit and then closing them and moving on, the time between trains is...

Ive seen trains go by with alternating signage. It switches between "Kennedy" and "5 Eglinton" Im not a huge fan of the 5 Eglinton signage because it looks like an "S", so it looks like "SEGLINTON"

Would you not count the Well as a Class A mall? Its very nice and definitely big enough

Yeah.... that seems like a huge loss. Is that wall structural or something?

It looks like the screens are live now, like they are showing actual train times. I drove along Eglinton recently and saw the numbers change as trains were approaching.

Just went down to get some more pics, it's honestly not that bad when there are a lot of them....

I know at some point TMU was interested in at least part of the spaces at the base, is that still the case?

Oh wow, I have not been keeping up with this thread enough it seems, a quick search gave me plenty of notes on why Summerhill doesnt work. Sorry to re-hash it and sorry if I triggered anyone lol.

Also, whats the feasibility of this actually getting built? I've heard from many people that this iteration is basically just a pipe dream and that the funding required to get this going would be immense and unrealistic. Im hoping they are are wrong because it would make a lot of sense to...

Could the Summerhill tracks be utilized instead? I know having the trains coming into Union would be ideal, but with such extreme cost and space parameters to get it into Union, could it make more sense to just build it at Summerhill? It could kick off a "Union North" and we could finally try to...

Do we know what the final lighting strategy of the building is going to be? I remember a while ago people were looking for lights to illuminate the skeleton, but did anything get confirmed?

Looks like they are installing some permeant bollards on the north west corner of Union. Kinda bland, but looks nice for seating tbh

What about a big flag or something?

I did see some trains out yesterday (if that counts as an update) and not sure if it was operator training or something else.

Has it officially passed 300m yet? Getting close?

I feel like he would try to swing it like "look at this huge project that is opening soon, we finished it" Although saying it like that, I see how it could be twisted the other way very very quickly.....

I would be taking bets that Ford is going to announce an opening date for the Crosstown as an election move, or as a reaction to another politician making a statement about it.
