I had hoped that the Executive Committee would get the promised update at its April meeting but, apparently, not. Here is what was asked of Staff in November 2025. https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2025.TTC10.4

6. City Council direct the Executive Director, Transit Expansion, in consultation with relevant City Divisions, the Toronto Transit Commission and Waterfront Toronto, to report back to City Council in first quarter of 2026 with updates on:

a. the completion of 60 percent detailed design progress for Segments 2, 3 and Early Works, including on the cost estimate and funding requests, as required;​
b. Phasing and Delivery Plan, including assessing opportunities for early phase transit improvements and for advancing Segment 1 through design and to procurement;​
c. recommended property acquisitions, as required;​
d. project coordination with major interfacing projects, including the Inner Harbour West Tunnel, Gardiner-Lake Shore East Realignment Project, Hydro One Cherry Street Bridge and Cherry Street Signal Tower;​
e. design advancement of the Queens Quay East Extension, relating to project coordination with the Gardiner-Lake Shore East Realignment project;​
f. Traffic Management Plan; and​
g. intergovernmental discussions including the Canada Public Transit Fund.​

As you know, but for others, this was due in March.............one month slippage is bad.....but two?

I assume the arrival of Federal $$$ did change things and March might have been too soon but I really had hoped they would get their Report to the April Executive Committee and Council.
