The asphalt spine is currently being widened and reinforced with steel and concrete so that it can soon carry many more transit passengers via LRT, from Port Credit GO to Cooksville GO and on to Mississauga City Centre and far beyond. The predictability of rail transit should be a boon for locals once it has opened&#8230; if only an opening date were predictable too.<\/p>\n<p>Looking northwest up Hurontario Street where it interchanges with the QEW, image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Tim MacDonald<\/p>\n<p>This image comes to us courtesy of UrbanToronto Forum contributor <a href=\"https:\/\/urbantoronto.ca\/forum\/threads\/some-gta-aerials-by-tim-macdonald-covid19-induced-boredom.31164\/post-2417352\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tim MacDonald<\/a>.
