Next up?
Richmond under/over pass? or
Talbot street can opener or
Wharncliffe CN overpass replacement?

Which one should be approved next?

The CN Wharncliffe bridge was supposed to start around 2019 after the CP Wharncliffe bridge was done. Did they put this on hold until after Adelaide bridge or are they doing a new bridge every 2-3 years then?

Interesting that in looking back at the proposals from the public meeting last winter, they mention the preferred routing of the temporary roadway being on the west side of Adelaide so that the underpass can be dug out. But it doesn't show anything about a temporary rail diversion for that. Can they excavate and build the underpass with the railway still in place?

There will be a public meeting on this proposed project.

April 26th , 4-7pm, HB Beal Secondary School

This underpass looks pretty nice.

It's a rendering, of course it looks nice

I'm sure if they had a rendering for the Richmond CN underpass it would have also looked nice compared to the grit and cracks it has today

I guess it will be official next Monday when the report recommends an underpass.

Hopefully they start in early 2021 and then start work ASAP on the Richmond-CP track planning. A solution to this crossing is needed.

That is good news. We need more of these.

Am I reading that right - underpass going as far south as Queens Ave? That's quite a ways away...

I think it's just bad wording in the article making it sound like the underpass would run from Queens up to Oxford. That's more like a tunnel lol.

I think whatever genius at LFPress didn't read the report, and just saw that the study area is from Queens to Oxford thought that's was the underpass..

Stood they're moving ahead with this. Ironic that this will likely see constriction sooner than Wharncliffe/CN, even though it's EA was started much later.

This is a drop in the bucket and it will not solve anything:

0.3% of the pot to London. What are we doing wrong?

It could be that we're doing things right in this case lol

One more step to getting the underpass was taken today.

https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/london-council-approves-58-3m-adelaide-street-underpass

Expected to start 2021.

Put a fork in it, done deal. This will be a rubber stamp approval.

I can ser this project being done before Wharncliffe/CN, as this one isnt bring challenged by a crazy old NIMBY.

That one is more of a designated heritage property... Another century old cookie cutter.... Sigh, and an elderly woman not wanting it moved across the street. Untill she dies that will be among the worst intersections, especially for the safety of pedestrians. It's absurd.

Why does this have to wait until 2021? Why not much sooner?
