PCC Streetcars on St. Clair Avenue @ Glenholme Avenue (Video)

PCC (President's Conference Committee)streetcars 4549 and 4550 pass near the Glenholme Avenue stop on St. Clair Avenue West. On Saturday, December 19, 2009, streetcar service re-opened in a new, dedicated transit right-of-way between Bathurst Street and Lansdowne Avenue. Two restored PCC cars were providing free service between 11:00 am and 4:00pm on this special day. Apologies for the poor video quality. The original file was altered by Blogger after being uploaded.

Streetcars Return to St. Clair Avenue West of Bathurst

New Look For St. Clair Avenue West

It is ironic, perhaps, that GM New Look buses are providing some of the service along St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto while the transit right-of-way is being constructed. Within a few years, brand new streetcars will roll up and down this busy thoroughfare. The second photo shows the current state of construction near Wychwood Avenue. Cell phone shots.

Under Construction Series (& A Reminder to CLICK ON THE PHOTOS!!!)

Welcome to the "Under Construction" series of shots, taken on July 03, 2009. The TTC and the City of Toronto are rebuilding St. Clair Avenue West between Gunns Road just west of Keele Street and Vaughan Road, just west of Bathurst Street. A special right of way is being constructed for the 512 St. Clair Streetcar line. This right of way is already completed between Vaughan Road and Yonge Street, and streetcars have been running on the completed section of the line for quite some time now. It may be quite some time before the entire 512 Streetcar Line is up and running again.

For those of you who quickly scroll past the photos, a word of advice: Take your time and click on the photos. You will see an enlarged image that shows quite a bit more detail. Really, you will be surprised.

Enjoy.

Under Construction - St. Clair Avenue - Wychwood Streetcar Stop

This is the Wychwood Avenue Streetcar Stop, under construction. But it seems the contractors made a small mistake. If you look closely in the second photo, you will see that they installed the "Oakwood" stop sign by accident, and tried, unsuccessfully, to cover it up. July 03, 2009.
