Between now and mid-November, there will be crews doing overnight maintenance work to replace worn out railroad ties (the rectangular supports beneath the rails) along the Barrie rail corridor between Rutherford Road in Vaughan and 15^th Sideroad in King Township. Here is a copy of the notice, which provides some additional details.

As I communicated earlier in a response to a question a weeka ago I am confident that we will have whistle cessation in 2023.  Here is my complete esponse:  There is now firm plan on part of Metrolinx and King Staff as to specific actions required to set the stage for the Township applying for whistle cessation. The first critical step is done: assessment of physical features which need to be done in order to be safe for persons crossing the tracks. This includes new gates, flashing lights, line painting on roads. Installation of these features is underway.
