Mike Farwell is suggesting the opening day will be in May. Which would be very pleasant!

While obviously the sooner the better, that's what a lot of people were expecting I think
Not saying he's right or wrong, but I wouldn't put any faith in his opinion. He is guessing, just like the rest of us are.

I mean, his position in media can and does give him access to information before its released to the rest of us. I wouldn't dismiss this as just guessing as if he was just anybody. PS. I want this to be true so so bad!

For pure vanity reasons (it's my birthday!), starting service on May 10 would be amazing.
Edit to add: More realistically, Victoria Day Weekend would be a great time for a launch.
They just installed a railing along tracks/sidewalk between between Wilson Ave and Fairway Station here: https://goo.gl/maps/f6rjFsuaXkP2
I was wondering if they would add something there since the dropdown isn't insignificant and it's a safety issue with people walking next to the tracks anyways.

Although it sometimes seems like there is little coordination between GRT and ION, why would you say that?

I saw a near-collision at Charles & Frances tonight... the LRT was coming down Charles with the green light in its favour and a jackass at Frances decided to start creeping into the intersection for some reason... the horn seemed to scare them enough that they moved back in time, dunno wtf they were thinking.

Yeah, there are reports of such things relatively often on the radio. |
