"All indentations are saying the loop will be ready for service in July compare to the current date by TTC for Aug. This allows the return of the 509 car."

The loop may well be ready by July - and may in fact be ready earlier - BUT, the reason the 509 cannot run is that the track on QQE will not be ready until late August.

Again, the tracks are to be ready by July. Construction of the Row could get under way in April starting west from the Portal as most of the road work is done up to Ress as this time. Work should wrap up at Ress shortly leaving the work at Spadina to be finish off and most likely in April.

Westbound traffic is supposed to be shift to the south lanes and this will allow the rest of the loop to be finish being rebuilt.

Large section of new sidewalk on the north side are finish and ready to open.

Time will tell come June.
 
Hoarding is now down along the entire length of the new platform -- but it's still fenced and tarped.
 
The new accessibility ramp in the western portion of the concourse is now finished, with large glossy wall tile and glass walls (barriers). If the rest of the station looks like that, we are in for a treat! It's beautiful.

If streetcars are to resume 31/8, with Flexity units, won't there need to be some testing runs first and thus the track made available some time before?

I haven't seen the landscape plan - but one would expect the use of granite curbs? At least they are not cheaping out by using epoxy coated rebars.

Concrete curbs are cheap. A city that can't scrape together some granite curbs in such a high-profile location doesn't make the strongest impression. Even if they install granite paving for the plaza and concrete bricks for the roadway like in the original plan, there shouldn't be concrete curbs.
