Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

They have, annoyingly, closed off the sidewalk linking Cooksville GO station directly to Hurontario as of this morning and it was still closed this evening. I didn't see any notices about it, so not sure how long this will be closed.

That is annoying. Hopefully you didn't miss your train.
 
Some pics I took of Port Credit Station from the train heading to Union.

It was too late to reply last night to ask where the closure was and suspected it was at the walkway with work at John St. Took a walk down there after council meeting and closed as expected. this is absolutely appalling to have no notices and signs posted at Fairview advising pedestrians and cycles of this closure at the walkway.

I ran into 5 people walking back from the closure saying I need to use the eastside, but wanted t check it out and take a photo.

Did walk down to John St to checkout the corner and it was been dug up for the new sidewalk and turning lane and no way you can get to the CP bridge now.

No idea why it close at the walkway to allow people to get to/from the GO station other they are about to regrade that area and put in an asphalt walkway for the winter months.

Will be sending an email to ML, Mobilinx and copy of it to the ward councilors and the city about this along with a few other issues and you should do so also along with others who use that sidewalk.

I figure this change will add an extra 10 minute trip to/from the GO Station and a slap in the face for the accessibility
 
The pessimist in me says that Mobilinx/Metrolinx ran out of money to announce closures so they just close things up and hope for the best.

In reality, what even are they doing now? It feels like they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get work done before winter hits.
 
I walk fast, so I don't think it's added 10 minutes to my walk, but it has definitely added around 5 minutes.

It does seem haphazard. If they get it reopened before winter, then I can live with it.

All the southbound curb should be poured now from the north side of Fairview to CP bridge as there was a small section waiting for the concrete truck to show up to finish it off. Was told on Wednesday they would start pouring on Thursday.

Talking to a couple white hats, one said they hope to have the road pave from north of Fairview to John St and open by next weekend to allow 2 lanes of traffic. Once done, the centre are is free to be dug up for the guideway and get the impression that will not happen until spring.

On Wednesday, had a looked at the east side where the new restraining wall is being built and only one more section to be form and pour. No idea if they plan to leave to areas as is for part of the hill as one needs the streetlight remove to do so as well not sure on the other one. Fail to look at the missing curb for this area that been that ways for months to see if they have put it in or waiting for the wall work to be finished.

The west side at John St looks like it was being prepared to have an asphalt sidewalk from John St to the CP Bridge and most likely put in an asphalt curb for the turning lane until next year.

The base of the guideway was being poured from Burnhamthorpe to Matthew Gates for the southbound track with the northbound being pour on Thursday.

@Dan416 you need to look out toward the end of next week or early the following week as that closure will be reopen then to/from the GO platform. Look at the new sign the white hat put up on Thursdays for the detour at Fairview crossing area and there should be another on the sidewalk south of the intersection. The sign went up after a number of complaints to the white hat and not from head office.

Yeah I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. I've been taking the bus to get to the GO station in the meantime. A decent number of people get off the bus at the GO station.

@Dan416, you will be happy to know either tomorrow night or Friday night, you will be able to walk home from the GO station according to ML representees at the Dundas Community Office today. They were paving the south side of Fairview today and still working on the northside. The walkway from John St to CP bridge is paved and fence off with curb work taking place.

For the past 2 years that I have walked by that Dundas Community Office, its lights have been off with no one in it until today. Decided to walk to Dundas to see what was new before catching a Dundas bus and surprised see the lights on and people in it that I went in to asked a number of questions as well raised a number of issues that I saw on my walk as well the sidewalk closure along with other issues.

I am to send this new list in so a meeting can be arrange to deal with it as well some sight seeing for.

I am been track by ML as one person asked me about my photos that they like and not surprised at all and assuming Mobilinx and the city is also doing it as well. Never know if MTO and IO are doing the same thing. Based on our conversation, I know more what is taking place on the corridor than the ML representees.

There was to be a Public Vertical On Line Meeting in December, but been moved to 2025 with no date at this time for the corridor.

After 2 months delay, Parsley intersection will be close off November 14 with no date when it will reopen and a good thing since nearly all dates have been missed so far. Guideway construction from King St to Floradale with right out only for it and a left turn at this time as well. I expect Floradale to be close tomorrow as well. No idea when traffic was shifted for the northbound lanes, but was still close last week when I saw it

Southbound curb lane has been poured south of Hillcrest to north of Agnes where the corners still need to be built. Its possible the southbound curb may get pour next week, but more like the end of the month, Once those 2 areas as well the north of John St, don't expect paving to happen until December with a possibility of doing north of Fairview to the CP bridge before then.

Until hydro shows up to support the pole by the substation as well remove the light pole, the retraining wall cannot be built there. About 100m of curb needs to be built to allow traffic to be shifted, this year.

MiWay has put route 4 on detour for southbound by the way of Dundas since it will have to run that way when it comes time to do King St intersection when every work is done for Paisley intersection just before Christmas with work in 2025 for King.

Car folks not happy as they cannot make a left turn into plazas as well where they live with the guideway dug up. Also at King St where they have installed the left turning light as well.

As I walked by this evening, I saw that it looked paved up to a certain point. I was tempted to walk up and see if it was open, but I figured there was no way that it was done yet, so I didn't. It kinda looked closed off, but it was hard to tell. Glad to hear it wasn't open yet lol. But even better to hear that it's close to reopening!

The area as I noted from John to the bridge was being worked on last week for the temporary sidewalk and was paved this week with fencing in place for the roadwork as well blocking off access to it. They were paving the sidewalk corner on the south corner for Fairview with fencing removed with a fence walkway in place for Fairview. The northside is partly paved for sidewalk, but until they finish the curb, they cannot pave the remaining area, You still can use the road sidewalk like in the past until that temporary sidewalk is built.

Based on my talk with the ML representees and what I saw, the south corner was the hold up opening up the closed sidewalk to the GO Station. I was told it was a last minute decision by Mobilinx to closed the sidewalk and why no signage nor notices to the area was sent out. This one of the weakest point with me for Mobilinx who continue to fail informing the public and communicate with the City and miWay about various changes or doing work to the point bus stops have been removed or relocated to X and no one is informed of the change, along with road changes. I got on at one of those stops where the bus driver almost drove past me as the stop was relocated since his last trip and wasn't told of it.

I had to laugh when the ML representees told me that I knew more than they did as to what was happening in the corridor which raise the question if ML is on the ball for the corridor in the first place or telling them the real story?? I said if one walks the corridor from end to end let alone drive it, they will get a first hand view of what has taken place as well what is going on.

Past Wally's today and they were shooting a movie there. Looked at the cars they had there after getting home tonight and they are from the 50's-60's and you need to check them out.

Heading to Port Credit before catching a GO train on the bus, got a look at the corridor. The west sidewalk was open from north of Fairview to John St at 9:00am and must worked late last night to get it done.

Milling taking place from Fairview to either the CP bridge or John St with equipment in the way to see if the northside was done. Paving could have taken place by now or on Friday,

Floradale intersection is now fully close off with Paisley intersection still open. Most likely be close during the day or tonight once the concrete barriers show up.

Northbound curb lane between the Queensway and Sherobee stake for concrete curb pouring, but nothing south Sherobee to the North Service Rd is ready to be stake.

Nothing new for the QEW area.

@Tim MacDonald you are correct about the substation at the South Service Rd as the sub base is in place for it.

Mineola intersection is a pinch point for 2 lanes as there will be one until poles are remove in 2025.

Asphalt has bee placed where missing concrete is for sidewalks and driveways.

Mary Fix Creek new channel will stop where the trees are with the west wall in place and concrete was being pour for the east wall.

All retraining walls for the new sidewalk at the rail corridor are done with retraining wall being built for the northbound track and no idea how far it will go north.

More steel being erecter for the north entrance.

I was planning on getting some shots from the GO Train and was lucky to gab a seat by the window as all seats in 226 cab car/coach behind the locomotive was totally full at 10:15am with all kinds of riders getting on at other stations

Couple shots from today as it will be about a months before I get to them that are unedited and not tag
