The slope of the curve in recent years does appear to be steeper than it was in the earlier years, so it looks like something more than linear. But we're talking about progress based on political will, so all bets are off the table IMHO.

Slope? Say no more!

Though in all seriousness, I think a better metric probably exists to capture the "growth" of a public transit system. Maybe something like # of stations under construction.
They never seem to do serious pre-planning until funding is secured.
From my recollection they did study Broadway a lot though, then redid it all when funding came in. Lots of holes drilled over the years that's for sure.
Getting funding is also part of what I meant. So, the next project they want to do should have funding already secured so that tenders and planning can be done so that shovels in the ground for the most preliminary work begins when this extension opens. Toronto seems to do that within Metrolinx.
Can't wait for the guideway to start going in! I'm assuming we won't be seeing the gantry crane for this short segment?
No, not for this small segment. It will be elevated highway-style construction with off-site fabricated concrete beams being mated to cast-in-place columns.

They're all setup for the first TBM to arrive next week

This umbrella is a system of steel pipes drilled above where the TBM will break through. They redistribute the weight of the ground above the tunnel to either side of its entrance.
