While progress on Toronto's Eglinton Crosstown LRT has been very much one step forward, two steps backward as of late, work on the Ontario Line subway is going forth full steam ahead, with the provincial government announcing another pivotal moment in the route's construction on Thursday.In preparation for massive tunnelling efforts northward, crews have now broken ground on the second tunnel launch shaft near the fututre Gerrard Station, which is where advanced tunnel boring machines (TBMs) — which are presently nameless, but that the public is invited to help come up with epithets for — will start a journey up towards Line 6's northern terminus.The shaft will eventually be the point where trains will switch from the route's below-ground to (controversially) above-ground segments.This step comes after work on the line's first tunnel launch shaft began at Exhibition Station last year.Met...

But if you're expecting anything like the standard department store, or even like any other S...
