I'm a little confused with the track plan Metrolinx is working towards along this corridor. They are adding a platform to track 4 in Weston, but at Mount Denis they chose to build a side platform and island platform (rather than the two island platform layout they has planned at one time) so only tracks 1-3 will have a platform there.

Mount Dennis station was planned and designed a long time ago. I assume that Metrolinx will need to eventually build a 4th platform there.

So I'm not sure how accurate this is, but according to CartoMetro, they're leaving room for a 2nd side platform like this:

CartoMetro tends to be accurate for the most part

There have been a large number of tweets on Toronto urbanist Twitter about Montreal and…it shows us just how far behind we are in having a less auto-centric, more missing-middle-friendly city.

Not just more missing middle-friendly, but more pedestrian space-friendly and bike-friendly. It completely puts Toronto to shame. Depressing to think about.

The above is only for the engineering services, not the construction.

oh this is interesting. Kinda more on the up express thread but w.e.
apperently because of the tight curves of the up express spur, the temperatures and the weight of the trains, within 2 years the fasteners are being streched beyond the design limits
