Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

That's the purpose of the T. The mode symbols are just additional wayfinding tools.

GO bus stops are also shown with the T symbol, and as anyone who has ever had to commute by GO bus well knows, there is nothing rapid about them.

I looked carefully driving past the Victoria Park stop on Eglinton. I can't believe that pillar is so narrow, with such small symbols on it. That's outright absurd.

The pillar should be holding up the symbol (whatever that symbol is)

Most of the eastbound road west of Yonge is built with separate bike lane. Still got to build the huge wide sidewalk.

There are 2 duct banks east of Yonge and being form to be encase like parts of them are already. Still more wet utilities to be install and then the back filling can take place.

Yonge Road is in place north of Eglinton with work taking place for the north-east corner of the intersection. The vaults for the south-east corner is basely in place and may see the road built over it by year end.

The intersection still has to be built.

By spring, this area for roads and sidewalk maybe back to been normal

Yes, that is in the standard, but unfortunately the Metrolinx standard was defined and solidified after the contract for the Crosstown was signed so Finch West and projects being contracted later are following the standard. All these entrance beacons were defined in the plan prior to the existence of a fully flushed out way-finding standard.

Crosstown design that predates way-finding standard, and the two options provided for in the standard at entrances (that are not vehicular), one with way-finding map included, and one without.

I didn't expect trees to show up this fall because I didn't see them building silva cells. Looks good!

Looks like the orange posts are installed at the O'Conner stop.

They look the same as the ones at the underground stations, TTC logo up to, "T" in the middle and Metrolinx logo at the bottom. Not sure if they light up, this was at like 7:30 this morning.

This is on the Victoria Park side, there was another pair of them on the O'Conner side too.

A bunch of stops along the surface stretch have them now, and the top half of them do light up when it is dark enough.

As testing and commissioning work continues, check out a few of the latest looks at Oakwood station. Next week, watch for a tour of Fairbank!

No updates ten days on. They’re even failing to deliver on the simplest promises!

Well, as it happens, I actually happen to agree with Metrolinx that there is no need to have a separate graphic for subway and LRT. All forms of rapid transit should be shown as such - whether it uses sensible old technology or some gadgetbahn nonsense is irrelevant to riders.

There's a big difference between subway and on-street LRT.

approximately 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m

Hm, would've been a lot more ideal if they chose to do this from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., I guess convenience for Crosslinx is priority.

 

[T3G]

There's a big difference between subway and on-street LRT.

But there is no difference at all between subway and underground LRT, as the bulk of Eglinton will be.

So what will you do then? Have separate symbols for the underground and overground sections of the line? That would also not help.

Here you go guys, Fairbank Station as of October 26, 2023!

Here you go guys, Fairbank Station as of October 26, 2023!

every video they show of a supposedly completed station gets me more and more incensed on why they still need another year essentially to open....

I guess the sets of yellow do-not-cross poles alongside the track at platform level are to dissuade you form climbing on the coupling between the cars.
