Appreciate your constant updates regarding this. Do you have any clue what's going on north of the 407 towards Brampton by any chance?

Well, it didn't take long to fix the Friday confusion for transit riders on Elm as both routes have returned to the original detour route by Joan Dr.
Southbound lanes from King St are paved with asphalt curbs just in time for building the guideway across the Queensway staring May 2 to June 27. I guess the milling machine may show up tomorrow or Wednesday to start work on the guideway on either side of the intersection or they just excavated the intersection only.
If using the Queensway intersection, expect long delays crossing it.

I will have to recheck that area, but all kinds of work taking place and more so in the southbound lane north of Hwy 407. The standard wet and dry work is taking place and the last area that I need to do a walking tour of the corridor.

Thought I’d take a pic today. If you look closely, kinda looks like the things that they put rails on. This is Elm Drive of course. Sorry it’s not a great view or great pic.

EA documents are here https://www7.mississauga.ca/documents/TW/sqone-dr-ea/Appendix_A2_PIC2_Summary_Report_part_2.pdf
I am curious how this might change with the LRT loop running on Confederation Parkway

Wait a second. To get this extension we have to rip out a tennis court? On the Tennis front Bianca still does not have a street named after her. I’d happily donate Joan drive north of Elm towards Fairview public school to be renamed Bianca court. How long can it take to fulfil a street name promise.

There's another 10 more things to name for Hazel first.

Well I named our main toilet Hazel so that should bring us down to 9.

Elora And Sq One Roundabouts would remain as plan. Sq One and Prince of Wales could be like the one I saw in Maze AZ in 2018 where crossing gates were used for Traffic and pedestrian or be removed. Rathburn would remain traffic lights
Nothing more should be use to honor Hazel as there are too many now. I refused to call the LRT Hazel line and tag my photos as Hurontario LRT line 10.

I just walked by that tennis court on Sunday.
It does seem surprising that the Square One Drive extension would go right through an Enersource facility and a tennis court. I assume they'd replace the tennis court somewhere nearby?
I just checked the list of street names in Mississauga (https://www6.mississauga.ca/onlinemaps/tranwork/design/pdf/stguide/street names.pdf) and there isn't a Bianca, but there is a Bianco Lane. Maybe they thought the Fire Department would confuse them if we had both.

If concerns like these were ever truly considered we wouldn’t have Flemingdon Park and Flemington Park in Toronto.

I’m pretty sure there’s no Andreescu Court. But I know Mississauga has a hard time giving anyone but Hazel her flowers. It makes Mississauga seem more small town than it actually is. And it should be corrected.

Fair point. They should definitely name a street for her. But I just hope it's not some random street in a crappy subdivision. Mississauga doesn't generally build new subdivisions anymore, due to lack of space, but Mississauga did acquire the land between Ninth Line and the 407 so I could see them naming a street up there after her. But I'd prefer a new street within the city centre.
Any 100% I'm so tired of everything being renamed after Hazel. I don't think any politician has this much named after her. She already had a public school named after her. Then Sheridan had to name their Mississauga campus after her, and then Doug Ford had to name the Hurontario line after her, and then Mississauga decided to rename its central library after her. It's only a matter of time before Mississauga renames itself Hazeltown or Hazelville or something.

May 1
I found the 6th substation by chance, but not where it was supposed to be. It is on the east side of the Shell station at Matheson and still been worked on.
The trackwork of Matheson station is formed and waiting concrete to be pour for it. What is odd about it that the form work is different heights for the trackwork which is the same level.
The crossover at Watline is ready to be form with missing switches as well connecting mainline track.
No idea why northbound traffic cannot turn left on May 20 as all other directions will be able to do so.
Kingsbridge intersection is ready to open.
Elm Dr intersection tracks are ready to be form.
Grading is well underway for the ramp from the elevated section to Sq One Dr.
