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 - Smart Car Right of Way
July 03, 2009.
................In an intelligent move, cars on St. Clair Avenue are being rerouted to the streetcar right-of-way while new street traffic lanes are being constructed.
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.

Calgary Transit - North West Line Extension to Crowfoot Opens (Click on Map to Enlarge)
On June 15, 2009, Calgary Transit's North West CTrain Line extension to Crowfoot Station was opened. Adding one more stop to the line, the project came in under budget, though it opened later than expected. Service on the original North West Line began on September 7, 1987 and ran between Anderson Station in the South to University Station in North West Calgary. The last extension of the CTrain system opened on December 17, 2007, when the North East Line was extended by one stop to McKnight/Westwinds Station. The CTrain system opened in 1981, and Calgary Transit boasts that the CTrain is powered by wind driven turbines. ***Click on the map to make it larger and more legible.***
