It is as if I am looking at the subway and it is naked.

Ever been to Rosedale or Davisville Stations?

Ever been to Rosedale or Davisville Stations?

It is a bit diffferent, those are above ground stations.

We weren't meant to be seeing whats laying under the Teahouse Condos.

Why does the subway swerve out like that?

The engineering on this site continues to evolve. It's really quite remarkable, I'm surprised there hasn't been any media coverage. I'll try and take some photos tomorrow and maybe contact the Star.

Why does the subway swerve out like that?

Pick your favourite:

A) Contractors were drunk.
B) Shallow sub-surface seismic activity since the tunnel was built in the early 1950s.
C) The city was too dense south of College to build it east of Yonge, so from there south, it's right under Yonge Street.
D) It's less disruptive when using cut-and-cover construction to build off a main street, so from Wellesley north, that's where the line is.
E) C and D.

Personally I like option A. Imagine some drunk site super telling his guys to pour a curved track where it should be straight, then everyone just going with it and shifting the entire subway line over.

And then realizing a block north that they were off and needed to shift back.

More photos from May 12. Looks like there are beams resting on the piles on either side of the TTC tunnel.
