Crosstown LRT First Ride

Finally!! We didn’t mean to do this today but ended up checking out the new LRT. Strangely, we started at Bloor and Dufferin, took the 29 north to Fairbank Station, travelled eastbound to Kennedy, then back home via line 2.

Val’s connection to the LRT has finally come full circle. Back in June 2013 he was at the launch of the western tunnel boring machine because he, along with five or six others, had won a competition to name the machines: Don Humber. A few photos from that day SO far back show the depth of the tunnel (now evident from the long escalators going down to the stations), Val with the TMB, and his scratchy signature.
