I dunno why they can’t be consistent. They’ve managed to match finishes at a couple BD line stations. Eglinton’s platform extension is not that bad either, though the bare wall and exposed utilities sucks.

The shell of the new accessibility entrance for Islington station partly in place with no sign of the new bus terminal nor an elevator for the new entrance. No idea what is taking place under the tent beside the current entrance other than a tunnel for a future entrance at Bloor.

Wanna bet how long it’ll stay like that? I’ll be optimistic and say 1.5 years.

The TTC has an update on accessibility initiatives on the agenda for next week's meeting. Lawrence is not as advanced I would have thought.....but we do have 4 more stations with elevators due in service by year's end.

"hey TTC, you've reopened the exit from King Station southbound to Commerce Court that was fully closed for Easier Access work. That's nice"
"yes, the turnstiles have been replaced by fare gates"
"and since you've had full possession of that zone for weeks, obviously the escalator from that platform to the fare gate level is in tip-top shape"
"you might think that, indeed... if you had never ridden the TTC before" (puts barriers around either end)

Since Christie, Summerhill, and Warden are all expected for this year, I wonder how those three stations have been progressing along?

The new entrance and elevators are close to opening.
They are taking down hoarding everywhere.

Initially, I was hopeful that it would open this year but I am no longer thinking it will.
My guess it will open in Q1 2026.

I have no idea if any elevators are working. If the elevator is woking for the terminal area along with new stairs to/from the street level, you may see it open by year end but what good is it when the orther elevators are not working.
Unless I am missing something, sitll need elvators to get to/from the platform and Q1 2026 would be the opening time frame for all elevators.
