The only one currently U/C in that group is the KW line. The others will be added as soon as construction begins.

Should we add BRT projects here?

BRT isn't part of light rail. It's better if this thread focuses on LRTs or rapid transit. Commuter rail and BRTs can be discussed in the transit thread.

BRTs can qualify as rapid transit, IMO.

But I would nonetheless vote for this thread to be restricted to rail rapid transit projects, excluding BRTs, buses, and commuter rail transit.

Eglinton LRT will be 2020, and Spadina will be 2017 BTW. your opening dates for those two are both incorrect.

Thanks. The US section has a similar thread with a list, so I thought it was a good idea to do the same with our rail projects.

In big Eglinton LRT news, the TBMs will be moved over Eglinton West subway station this weekend, I think i'm going to pop up on sunday and take some pics.

Does Calgary's platform extension (in preparation of 4-car trains) project count? Jeez, this is the first year in 15 years that Calgary doesn't have any rail transit UC.

We are talking about actual rail extensions here though, not platform renovations...
