so realistically speaking, when will this project be done done and done? Can we hope to enjoy the new St. Clair next summer (june perhaps?)
Yes, you will use the line 100% in 2010.
Had a looked at some of the engineering drawings on Friday, but didn't get to the meat I wanted to see.
Gunns Loop will not rebuilt as is. Tracks will be north-south and will enter the street to the north to turn. Bus bay stay.
All the trees on the south side are to be cut down from the loop to Keele.
The south sidewalk at Old Weston Rd will be 12' further south. Sidewalk west of Old West Rd will stay about 12' south and then start to return to the street at the Bingo entrance.
It looks like a single lane under the bridge.
Temporary poles are 5'-15' back from the existing sidewalks.
The car dealership on the north side was cutting down his gate and fence and moving it back 15'. The market on the corner has to remove their stuff and will have next to no space after the sidewalk is rebuilt to put it back.
Dufferin Construction is the contractor.
All the existing poles were cut down and removed. Shelter should be gone any day.
North sidewalk is close and been torn up on the west side of the bridge.
Single lane of traffic from now to completion between Keele and Old Weston Rd
TTC had a dead bus at Arlington Intersection Sat blocking all westbound traffic. Orion VIIR in the high number BN2 274 were the plate as I could not see the number other the last one being 7. Quick, how do we do a detour for the 512 was the call of the day.
Concrete was pour today at Oakwood intersection.
Had to laugh on Sat as I see TTC crew finally got a straight section of track west of Oakwood after I pointed out to the TTC surveyor team and crew that it was not straight as they were preparing to leave after straightening the track. I pointed out the kinks. This was Friday. Concrete has been pour for haft of it now.
All platforms base are in up to Oakwood for the eastbound track. 2 more for the eastbound to be done and then the eastbound will be 100% complete to Lansdowne.
All sidewalk will be pour by next week, but still 2 more weeks before the road is done.
TTC crew is string the overhead system at Lansdowne loop. All the wire support brackets are in place for the centre poles from Lansdowne to Dufferin
Sidewalk work could start next week on the north side from Atlas to Oakwood.
The road is 100% complete from Christie St to Vaughan for the eastbound lanes with marking in place. Surprise it not open this weekend.
Once that section opens, centre poles will start to go up and be wire.
