Well I can infer that Sloane is the only stop on the line that is a centre platform, but also that general area of work from Credit Union-Jonesville has been a bit behind schedule. I don't know why.

Will there be bike lanes to the left and right along the Golden Mile? It’s important also to connect to the hydro corridor trails.

This portion of Eglinton Connects is still being worked out/funded etc.

28 workers on Eglinton Crosstown LRT project test positive for COVID-19
About 70 more workers are in isolation because of potential exposures, said a spokesperson for Crosslinx Transit Solutions, the consortium constructing the $5.3 billion line.

Large number of COVID positive workers at Crosslinx. 28 positive, 70 in isolation. Some work temporarily suspended, but will in general continue elsewhere on line.
Thoughts?

Sounds like my prediction of December of 2022 is likely to happen. LoL28 workers on Eglinton Crosstown LRT project test positive for COVID-19

^Interesting that they used standard turnouts for their back track, as opposed to equilaterals. Presumably they are only used as contingency.

After checking out the Crosstown Construction in person I have a lot of thoughts . . .

I definitely agree with your sentiments there. Even Rob Ford's plan may have been better than the final outcome now despite the absurd cost at the time. What I would've done to Rob's plan is that I would definitely elevate the current surface section of the line, Science Centre station and westward would be underground up until Mount Dennis. And in a later phase, the line would become fully elevated towards the airport as well as an extension to Malvern Town Centre on the RT side of the line. I'd also upgrade the line to use fully automated rolling stock. This could've been the final result. By now the RT could've already been replaced under the old plan.

This route should have used light metro technology, plain and simple.

I wonder if they have done/will do the same on the Avenue and Laird underground storage track turnouts.

Looks like the light rail turnback operations will be similar to the heavy rail turnback operations the TTC currently uses on its rapid transit lines.
They could have used loops, but unlikely to be used here.
In Montréal and other cities, they use a reversing track located beyond the terminal station.
The latter is the used in such places as Paris Metro and Tokyo Underground and London.
