7960 and 7978 were on 90 this afternoon, and still are this evening.

Also, the streetcar tracks between Bathurst and Vaughan look done, and they look cool. It looks like some kind of brick pattern was used on the cement.

are the tracks rasied or are there any seperaters that block cars from going on it like on Spadina?

Well as it looks now, the tracks are not raised or separated from the normal traffic lanes. They are the same level as the road.

There going to repave the rest of St.Clair right? they'll probably lower the street then and it will look like they raised the streetcar tracks.

I'm not sure if they are, but IMO, they should, especially the stretch of road between Bathurst and Vaughan. The road is really bumpy, with all this stuff that was moved underground as a result of a bank moving to another location. And soon, a condo will be going up at Bathurst and St.Clair, so there's more construction ahead! <_<

BTW, I also noticed that after Vaughan Rd, the tracks seem to curve inward and get closer. In other words, the width between the tracks is reduced after Vaughan Rd, but I don't know why.

Where exactly? where the car wash is currently?

It's where my school is, the Petro is going bye bye (St. Mike's owns the property and was simply renting it to the Petro on a non-contracted basis). The school and its basilian fathers originally wanted a girls school with a condo on top, but due to harsh protest, that idea was scrapped and there will only be a condo. I'm not sure when construction will begin, but the condo is scheduled to be finished in 2009 (I thought that was pretty weird).

Anyway, back on topic, 7311 was on the 49 today, with the silver supports.

2355, and 2735 on the 54....why doesn't Wilson or Birchmount send some non-accessible buses to Eglinton, so that they can put those on the 54, since its not an accessible route....This would allow Eglinton to send some VII's to a divsion that really needs more accessible buses (Birchmount, Wilson or maybe even Arrow).

It's too much of a hassle to do that now. What makes more sense to me is Eglinton giving up its share of 54 completely to Malvern and taking one of Malvern's accessible routes, which would help Malvern with accessibility and prevent Eglinton from wasting accessible buses.

BTW, Arrow??? I don't think they need anymore VII's with more and more hybrids coming every week!

Anyway, 7336 was the PizzaPizza bus from Queensway today at Kipling Stn.

7213 is on the 512.

Huh? They protest against a girls school but a condo is OK? Priceless! ;)

The Basilian Fathers were for the girls school. It was the parents and students of St. Mike's that didn't want it as it would tarnish the community and tradition of the all-boys environment.

BTW, the condo generates more money than a gas station ever would!

Anyway, back on topic, 7303 was on the 49 today.
