Finally it's completed, it was supposed to open in Oct/2016.
Just got back from the opening ceremonies at the Pioneer Village Station of the new Toronto - York Subway Line, formerly known as Spadina. The Three Cabrons (Trudeau, Wynne and Tory) were on hand to bask in the glory of a much needed civic project, Kathleen Wynne looked the happiest.
This is going to save me a large chunk of $$$, and I'll no longer have to worry about being downtown and staying sober to drive home. There are over 3500 parking spots, the bulk of which are at Pioneer Village and 407 stations. The old Downsview station is now Sheppard West, Downsview Park is the first stop on the extension. Like the U of T, York University now has two subway stops as well. The Downsview Park station has a direct link to the GO line to Barrie. The York Smart Track is already partially completed, it's operational from Vaughan Metropolitan station to Dufferin. The line from VMS to Pine Valley/407 will be completed by the summer. Unfortunately Vaughan and Richmond Hill didn't co-ordinate their shit, I have no idea when the eastern extension to Yonge will be completed.
And it's not all hunky dory, the builders of the line haven't been paid their full wages yet. Toronto/Vaughan should have had this figured out, shame on them. This is what happens when you sub-contract.
