Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

[jordanmkasla2009]

Random but it's crazy to see how long some of the streetcar tracks have been in the road despite being abandoned in the 50's or 60's

July 2024: Construction Update​ The new cycle track on the north side of Adelaide Street from York Street to Victoria Street has been installed and most of the protected eastbound left-turn phases for motor vehicles are now operational. The left-turn phases improve traffic flow for left-turning motor vehicle movements and eliminate potential conflicts between pedestrians and people cycling. Line painting adjustments and activation of the only remaining cycling traffic signal at the York Street and Adelaide Street West intersection are still pending and are expected to be completed in the next few weeks. Ongoing work to install underground Toronto Hydro cables (cable pulling) will continue until the end of the year. This work will require intermittent lane closures around the Toronto Hydro vaults. This work will occur during off-peak hours. TTC Overhead Work​ Before streetcars can safely operate on Adelaide Street West (and York Street) as part of the Queen Streetcar Diversion (QSD), TTC crews have to install overhead wiring to power the streetcars. TTC crews have started installing overhead wiring on Adelaide Street West. This work will continue into fall 2024. If you want to receive updates about the TTC's ongoing overhead work, please email your contact information to the project’s TTC Community Liaison, Michael Vieira at Michael.Vieira@ttc.ca Metrolinx - York Street​ Metrolinx is working with the TTC and the City of Toronto to build a permanent streetcar detour route along Adelaide and Richmond streets, connecting via York and Church streets. Once completed, the 501 Queen streetcar will keep riders moving during the construction of the Ontario Line. Metrolinx crews will be performing utility removals and relocations as well as other necessary roadway work such as track slab excavation, pouring of a track slab foundation, and conducting work on the traffic signals to support the installation of new streetcar tracks. York Street contra-flow bike lane​ In addition to streetcar track installation, Metrolinx will be building a contra-flow bike lane on York Street from Richmond Street to King Street West. York Street from Queen Street to Richmond Street will have sharrow markings installed to maintain the underground parking lot of the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada building.
