Construction has begun on the Maintenance and Storage Facility for the Finch West LRT line which is the first real work if you don't count digging up streets to move utilities, which has been going on for months. Does this count enough for "under construction"? [1] Infrastructure Ontario appears to count the utility relocation work as under construction, and considers this line as such counting the construction start date as the financial close date. [2]. If this is not enough evidence, what stage of construction would count as "under construction"? Mattximus ( talk) 18:13, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
Yeah I think an editor already delinked all the stops, so I agree they don’t need their own pages. Inclusion of the stops on this list is appropriate because it is absolutely under construction, and it’s sourced with references stating as much. But yeah I’m not sure stops in general are worth their own pages, but as per WP:NOTPAPER, there is no harm if some writer feels like it should be there. Mattximus ( talk) 20:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Thoughts on putting the actual streetcar routes that the individual subway stations connect with, rather than just the generic "TTC streetcars"? Much more information on the actual connections that are available, and the streetcar routes are unlikely to change anytime soon (unlike buses which can change routes/route numbers very easily).

The Ontario line page lists the line under construction. There are multiple secondary sources for the groundbreaking in the West part of the line. There are also many sources for some other work being done in the middle of the line. How much evidence is needed before it's considered under construction on this page? But not on the main page? Either way it should be consistent. I won't change the totals or anything else yet in case others disagree. Mattximus ( talk) 15:14, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
In 2024 (hopefully) and beyond, the number of stations and stops is going to change dramatically. Given the edit by @ Joeyconnick, I think we need to have a discussion about this article and what's included/not included now and in the future.
Their edit summary read: On-street stops are definitively NOT stations, so removing; adjusted count and descriptions to make distinctions between fully new structures and modifications to existing ones; avoided counting Science Centre as a new station twice by describing it as "existing" in the Ontario Line description (which, to be fair, it will be... once Line 5 opens.
Personally, I'm in favour of the current version of the article, with a future name change to make it clear it's not just the subway. Turini2 ( talk) 06:59, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
