Toronto Clare R. Copeland Transformer Station | ?m | ?s | Toronto Hydro | Arcadis

That is not a rebuild. That is a total demo which implies twenty four or thirty six months without the capacity of Windsor. My understanding is that we are one fire or explosion from a complete disaster downtown.

Didn't 7 WTC go right above an existing transformer? (Obviously well after 9/11)

Even before as well.

Looks good, and once I turn the corner, it looks great in the afternoon sun:

It looks great, for sure, but I'm legit embarrassed by the "High Line" thing.

Trying a little too hard. Still probably the nicest transformer station I've ever seen.

Is it in production?

Another power tunnel planned for downtown.

Transformer stations do not 'produce' anything. I heard it was 'partially operational' a few months ago but am not sure if this was 5% or 95%.

HydroOne sent me this alternative map - maybe easier to see routes

Fewer barriers as it gets close to opening. Yesterday:

Wait... what? They’re going to cut and cover Queens Quay? I hope that this is the road, not the cobblestone sidewalks.

^^^If they cut and cover Queens Quay road hopefully they'll rebuild it with the green streetcar right-of-way that West 8's design called for originally.

It's one option but only east of York and that's the section that will, if the Waterfront Transit moves ahead, be dug up to improve the tunnel to Union.

The block from York to Bay is in its "final configuration" and would be cut and cover.. but yes, not too big a deal.

Nothing has changed since the Spring. No visible changes whatsoever. Any word on opening of the station or park? We are entering 7th year of construction. Only in Toronto...
