May 31:
Ellis-Don was going to open the new east entrace today for the westbound
platform until TTC decided it need to make some changes to the turnstiles. At
this time, there is no new opening date until TTC does its thing, what every it
is.
The 2 platforms elev as schedule to go into service within the next 10-14 days
if everything remains on schedule. The 3rd one to the walkway is to open a week
or 2 after the platforms.
Landscaping is taking place along the east side with part of the fencing still
missing. The green roof looks so so.
The new bike rack storage area is ready to be open.
All 3 of the skylights in the bus bay have different artwork in them and you
will not notices them unless looking up with a zoom camera.
Don't expect to see full completion for the station until the fall.
Once the platforms elevators are in service, I expect TTC will shift the Variety
Village Shuttle from Main to VP either in July or Aug. This will allow TTC to
provide a faster, shorter route than it does today, as well looking at better
headways. Anyone can ride this shuttle to VV and get off/on at the various TTC
stops along the route. There are large notices-maps posted at Main stating this.
