But those first reels scanned in HD remained, and rediscovering them, we decided to rescan them in glorious 4K. You can see the first such rescan and remastering with our PCCs on Kingston Road video here:

Our sale of Patreon memberships continues. Free members can sign up for the Adblock Absolution tier (around $5 Cdn per month) and be treated as Named Supporters, with their names in the credits of future Transit Toronto videos. People who upgrade to the Named Supporter tiers (around $10 Cdn per month) get a free Transit Toronto mug sent to them.

There’s also a top tier: if you subscribe for $65/month CDN, your funds will go directly into scanning more of Richard Glaze’s 100 foot reels — it costs roughly $180 Canadian, including taxes to scan each reel in 4K, so every three months, you will have helped us scan a new reel, and we’ll acknowledge your contribution with an Associate Producer credit on the video that uses the footage from the scanned reel.

And, remember, Patreon memberships are flexible. You can upgrade and downgrade as your needs change, so if you want to get one reel scanned, upgrade to the Richard Glaze Associate Producer tier for three months, and then return to your regular tier.

Whatever you choose to do, whether as a subscribing member or a free member, please know that we greatly appreciate your support for Transit Toronto, and look forward to providing more transit-related content.

Metrolinx continues building the Ontario Line subway between Exhibition Place / Ontario Place and the area near the former Ontario Science Centre, through downtown Toronto.

In a news release, Metrolinx has announced that, “For the first time in more than 60 years, a new subway will be tunnelled under downtown Toronto.”

Two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) will work 40 metres under downtown streets for about six kilometres, carving out twin tunnels and connecting six new underground subway stations.

Metrolinx has named the TBMs “Libby” and “Corkie” after Liberty Village and Corktown, the neighbourhoods where the machines start and end their journeys under downtown.

Libby will start tunnelling first, then Corkie, extending from the launch shaft just east of Exhibition Station to west of the Don River.

Libby and Corkie will break through underground station caverns for the future King West, Chinatown, Osgoode, Queen, Moss Park and Distillery District stations.

After it has launched the machines, Metrolinx will convert the launch shaft east of Exhibition Station to a tunnel portal, where Ontario-Line trains will move between above- and below-ground tracks. A similar portal is taking shape in the Don Yard, where Libby and Corkie will finish their journeys.

The downtown area is the first of two tunnelled Ontario Line sections. The second set of tunnels will extend largely under Pape Avenue, from just north of Gerrard Station and ending at the Don Valley at Minton Place (north of Pape and O’Connor Drive). Crews started working last summer on the second tunnel launch shaft for the line near Gerrard Street East and Carlaw Avenue.

Metrolinx says its teams are also making progress with excavating the new downtown subway stations. It has now fully excavated the future King West, Moss Park and Distillery District stations and will complete excavation at the future Chinatown Station “in the near future.”

Metrolinx continues building the Ontario Line subway between Exhibition Place / Ontario Place and the area near the former Ontario Science Centre, through downtown Toronto.

In a news release on another topic, Metrolinx has quietly announced that it’s renaming four of the future Ontario-line subway stations:

• King West Station is the new name for the former King - Bathurst Station;
• Chinatown Station is the new name for the former Queen - Spadina Station;
• Distillery District Station is the new name for the former Corktown Station; and
• Leslieville Station is the new name for the former Riverside - Leslieville Station.

Metrolinx says the new names “better identify the major neighbourhoods [the stations] will serve.”

The City of Toronto’s RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan is guiding bus and streetcar improvement projects in Toronto. Through this program, the City of Toronto and TTC are enhancing bus and streetcar service across Toronto by studying and implementing transit-priority solutions that improve service reliability.

From 10 p.m. Monday, April 20 until 4 a.m. Tuesday, April 21 and continuing overnight nightly, the City continues installing the priority lanes

• on Bathurst Street between Bathurst Station and Nassau Street.

The TTC is detouring streetcars along this route during the next phase of this construction:

• 511 Bathurst.

Shuttle buses replace the cars between College Street and King Street West.

This phase of RapidTO construction on Bathurst Street and the resulting TTC detour continue until April 26 (4 a.m.)

The City and TTC finished installing priority streetcar lanes between Dundas Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West and turn restrictions at Bloor Street West in December. Due to construction at Toronto Western Hospital the two agencies are not changing Bathurst between Nassau Street and Dundas West.

The project includes:

• Installing one priority streetcar lane and one vehicle lane in each direction;
• Converting centre lanes to priority streetcar lanes by adding new signage, red paint and pavement markings;
• Removing all one-hour, unsigned and Toronto Parking Authority (“Green P”) parking spaces;
• Maintaining all accessible parking and loading zones; and
• Re-timing traffic signals to optimize traffic flow through the entire project area.

As part of a separate initiative to improve the speed and reliability of TTC buses along the 7 Bathurst route, the City and TTC introduced left-turn restrictions and updated parking and loading regulations between Eglinton Avenue West and Bathurst Station last December.
