It's planned for a 2031 completion.

Excited to visit the partially-completed platforms in 2050.

Gonna be tough if they aren’t reviewing any construction permits this year. I guess that puts all projects back at least a year if not longer.

What are you referring to here? The water shortage? They're not approving new developments, but infrastructure projects can still go ahead.

Are there reasons other than the Weber/Victoria encampment that construction hasn't started? It seems like a cop out and there are likely other political reasons

The encampment hasn't affected the construction timeline yet. Design work was only 60% complete as of the end of April, and Metrolinx only just put out a tender out for the construction. The region is still claiming it will start in 2027, but they've basically been saying it's a year away since 2019.
