@FinchWestLRT What do the red sections of the guideway indicate?

We're continuing to ramp-up testing of trains and systems along the Finch West LRT! This work will help ensure the service is safe and reliable when the line opens. Check out the recent progress.

@FinchWestLRT Excellent, that means you have over 2.5 weeks left in Bike Month to open the potentially beautiful, yet very incomplete, new bike path. Cyclists and pedestrians need some love too. Pitter patter...

Did you know the month of June is Bike Month? Check out the new bicycle lockers located at Humber College Station. . . . Saviez-vous que le mois de juin est le mois du vélo ? Découvrez les nouveaux casiers à vélos situés à la gare Humber College.

@FinchWestLRT I wish that the Humber River Recreational Trail, shown running under the bridge in the bottom left of the image, was better connected to the new LRT bike path. That steep, yet short, section at the N.W. corner needs a paved path. The existing S.E. paved path needs a cut curb.

The Finch West LRT boasts 2 stations and 16 stops, with each stop featuring one of three platform styles: Island, Mirror, and Near & Far. At Rowntree Mills stop, you'll find a Near & Far layout, with eastbound and westbound platforms situated on opposite sides of Islington Ave.

@TOBust1 @lukewachmen @FinchWestLRT @jen_keesmaat Right tool for the job? 18 stops over 10.3 km, 5-7min between LRVs on-peak, "passenger capacity of the 48.4-metre (159 ft) vehicle ordered as 120 seated and 216 standing." Fingers crossed for a short and trouble free testing-and commissioning-phase. YMMV.

@lukewachmen @FinchWestLRT @jen_keesmaat no substitute for a full capacity true subway train. Light Rail is exactly that, light - from capacity to durability. we got short sheeted. even two of those Toonerville trolleys joined at the hip is half capacity. How will those toonerville trolleys work 50 years from now?

A view of the @FinchWestLRT’s progress at Islington Ave. Check out the canopies, rail, track slab and bike lanes!

@TOBust1 @FinchWestLRT @jen_keesmaat Engineering? The Rowntree Mills station is at the Humber River as seen in this June 20 Tweet. Maybe this bridge configuration is unique along the route?

@FinchWestLRT ingress egress point not at an intersection - long walk to cross the road - design 101 fail. too much walking equals Take The Car. does the designer actually use public transport and its platforms, walking distances? @jen_keesmaat

@whimsley can you ask your friend @skate4booty to wash my car because I really want it cleaned and he doesn't get what value means.
