...probably because you don't frequent this site enough, which often has all the answers!
Quote:On Northfield they have cut into the ROW an emergency u-turn with barriers between the tracks and assuming they are there until service start, otherwise, need to be replace if the u-turn is used.
Huh? There's no replacing anything. They're there for emergency vehicles.
Quote:To date, all the ramps for the station have been groove as a safety protection, but the Northfield station is saying concrete or X material is to go on it as well the platform.
None of the platforms have their top surfaces or tactile edges on yet. The corrugated concrete surface you see is just roughed up (the "have been groove" you speak of) so that the final layer sticks to it.
You also seem to be really hung up on UrbanToronto about this two-operator thing. What does it matter to you? This is a big deal for us and something totally new here. Did it ever occur to you that for the first ~6 months they might want to have an operator in the back to keep an eye on things, or take care of customer service issues until all the kinks are worked out?
You're hyper-critical of our system without knowing all the answers (or bothering to look into them).
For the record: the Conestoga and Fairview crossovers are not "incomplete", either - they will not be embedded. Look closer at the design.
