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

Amendments are almost always made as one proceeds towards construction. The same happened with the Crosstown.

Yes amendments always happen. But the amendments happening to these are rather significant. This includes potentially cutting a signicant amount of stations, different degree of grade separations, and for the East, a redesign of the service concept to include through routing via ECLRT. When it's all said and done it'll probably look similar to what was in the EA, but signicant changes can and will likely be made.

I wouldn't be surprised to see stops cut from West and East, and some degree of grade separation for West (trenches under intersections have been proposed)

The amendment for the current Eglinton project already deals with the changes at Kennedy, leaving an alignment coming out of the proposed LRT for extension eastward.

I've seen no indication that changes stops or grade separation will occur. But that would require a simple amendment, like has been done elsewhere (i.e. Mount Dennis).

Though if they are just shifting a stop a short distance, or eliminating them entirely, I don't think they have to complete an EA. I don't recall an amendment to the Sheppard subway EA, simply because they decided not to build Willowdale station at that time.
 
Continuous?

How about ECLRT at Don Mills? are they building the DRL station at the same time as ECLRT construction, or have they admitted that the DRL long (or even medium) is not on the 25 year horizon.

Even if it is in their 25 year horizon, I am almost taking it for granted that they are too shortsighted to consider building a DRL station.

any idea where it will go underground or has thath not been planed

It was to go underground west of Kennedy. From the East, I think it was to be a terminal station underground, but east of the rail corridor. Pedestrians. Would walk under the rails to get to BD or the Eg LRT.


Things may change with the semi-new Eglinton East plan.

I'm sure that it will be future-proofed to some degree, to whatever degree is possible at this point.
 
Getting very close to Yonge Street:

Is the extraction shaft actually East of Yonge? I assumed it was the old bus station area (on the West side)
