Crews have worked on on Sunday for many locations, especially intersections having guideway being built for them as well other location and other requirements.
As we head into fall, the push is on for getting as much civil work done before the snow and cold weather arrives even if it means working Sunday. Until the curd and crud lane is built, cannot build the guideway without major issues for pedestrians. Traffic will be a single lane until that curb lane is built as well the guideway.
It would be great to have them work on Sunday for Burnhamthorpe to chase those protesters away and stop parking where they are not supposed to park in the first place. Since this intersection is supposed to be done by the 19, expect to see crews there 7 days a week until it done hopefully.
Very few Saturday have see no one working on the line somewhere along it outside of long weekends.
From my point of view, this is a make work and saying look at what we are doing for new areas, when there isn't a section on Hurontario done 100% with out the overhead being in place. The closest that come to this is the trackwork from Hurontario/Topflight to the OMSF that still need work along with the overhead being strung. If they work on getting the areas near completion done and that is from Topflight to Eglinton, they can say to the public that section is done and waiting insulations of station and overhead. Even the OMSF is not 100% finish.
They then can say, testing of the new fleet can now take place considering it was supposed to be in Feb of 2023, but one LRV is not going to cut it. They will have to pull the LRV from the OMSF to Eglinton at walking speed to make sure there are no issues with the tracks and stations. If there are, they will have to be fix before doing another walking testing of both tracks and crossovers. Once the line is power, then slow running of the LRV will start until it gets up to street limit speed to start the full burn in and test each LRV as they arrived as well training the trainers who will be training the new drivers.
Talk to anyone about this line, they will say its so late, causing all kinds of problems, but most off, they don't expect to ride the line until 2027 if then and most likely drive as it will be faster to do so..
