I know they added a splash of yellow paint, but it really doesn't do much, especially for the one that starts at King heading west on Columbia. The alignment of the intersection and minimal grade of the cut make it very easy to miss if you don't know it's there. I suspect people will be driving up on it again once the traffic cones are removed.

If the Queen’s Quay streetcar tunnel in Toronto is any guide, it will take much more than a bit of yellow paint. About every other week they’re pulling a car out of there. I wonder if anybody has ever installed railway crossing gates across the tracks, controlled so that they go up when the train comes, rather than down? Or maybe we need those retractable bollards? Those would be good on King St. at the freight track also.

Nice pics! I haven't yet attended one of the open house tours (or to be honest, closely looked at a floorplan) but are all the seating arrangements like what's shown in the second pic? Lots of legroom!

Here's a video of 504 passing through Belleville from the Facebook group.

Why am I not surprised?
What did they end up showing off?
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

It's still postponed, for unknown reasons.
(“Why am I not surprised” is a bit harsh. You have no idea if one of the key reporters fell ill or something and couldn’t make it.)

I think the comment above (hinting at the fact they cannot meet any deadline) seems fair, esp. considering very few things have met the expected dates.
Can't think of a media event cancelled because a reporter was ill. Just send another reporter....
