Metrolinx has stated that some sections of the ROW will be grassed, even going so far as to state that there will be 2 sections. But they have never said which sections those will be.

My guess it'll be near some of the portals. Fire Services aren't really going to be able to object as much there, as they aren't going to drive into the tunnel anyway.

I'm not convinced that Toronto Fire Services care either way. The only place I've ever heard about any supposed complaints from them has been here, and not directly from them.

You underestimate the power of the fire service and their advanced GPS.

Don't See EMS/Fire using the ROW east of Victoria Park unless there is a mass concrete pour to encase the rails and the ROW.
All the rail is in place east of Pharmacy to West of O'Connor Dr now and west of Victoria Park late Oct. Love the duct bank work.

They've installed rubber boots around the rail even where it's not encased in concrete - you can see them in the two photos that you took of the rails installed. That means that they rails will be encased in concrete, or something similar that will cover them right to the heads of the rails.

Good. Well manicured grass is not good for the environment. It takes in little cO2 and requires much cO2 in the form of cutting equipment, fertilizers and pesticides to keep it maintained. It has a negative net benefit on the environment. We should not be installing grass medians.
Astroturf if you must have that look. Can be made of recycled plastic

Given they only finish connecting the rails to the intersection, they still got concrete work to do to finish the area off. West of the rubber will be grass.
It been confirmed that grass will go Mid Block east of Victoria Park.
