So, the councilors along the route regularly take transit?

If they can reach the frequency they claim (every 3-5 minutes), maybe the shelters are not so important...But who knows

With the TTC operating this line, i'm not holding my breath on that form of consistency. Shelters will be critical knowing their operation style.

Don Mills and Eglinton Intersection been place back to what it was before construction stated. Last of the lanes to the east being pour with the rest of the area waiting asphalting.
Only the southbound Don Mills lanes and Eglinton lanes need to be built that will connect to the west-east section already done.
Overhead in place from DVP to Laird Dr including the station by the looks of things.

What about off peak hours? Frequency won't be the same at 10 pm. Even many TTC bus shelters have better weather protection.

Having a York Region Station roof and enclose will be a lot better than the cheap stations being built.
Couldn't get a close look at the Laird Station under construction due lack of access and safety.
By the looks of things, a double crossover will be put in at the Laird Portal.

What is the concrete there for?

They are supports for new stairs between Eglinton and E.T. Seton Park.

As well as building decent physical barriers to stop vehicles from ending up on the platforms,
These surface stops strike me as being designed by someone who only thought of how cute or modern they look, rather than giving any thought to functionality, safety. comfort or common sense.

Nope, just buffered bike lanes. You can blame Metrolinx's backward thinking for that. There is however, potential to put protection in at a later date. It's important to know, that all LRT projects after the Crosstown include cycle tracks

Same old, same old. Insufficient funding and the lack of political will to do things properly for transit.

Thats good at least. I could have sworn there were renderings of cycle tracks near the western stations

Because there will be... in front of the station areas. Crosslinx has been contracted with paving the cycle tracks in front of the station buildings and intersections only. The city will fill in the rest of the non-station areas later as part of a bigger plan called "Eglinton Connects" (unfunded).

Why do people seem to think that there are going to be cars somehow ending up on the tracks?This isn't as poorly designed as Queens Quay was when waterfront Toronto made a mess of it.
