Construction updates were provided for the Chaplin and Avenue stations of the Crosstown LRT. At Chaplin Station, piling and excavation work was ongoing in preparation for the station structure. Renderings showed the design of the main, secondary, and tertiary entrances as well as the exterior and interior spaces. For Avenue Station, short term construction activities over the next few months were outlined, including dewatering, sewer lining, watermain installations, and monitoring equipment installation around the station area. Site visits were also discussed to view current work.
