Sheppard Ave East LRT Site

Welcome to the Sheppard Ave East Pre Construction page

On May 31, 2009, I shot a couple of video's from the car front windshield of what Sheppard Ave looks like today before the building of the new ROW for the Sheppard LRT line got underway. I shot it going east and then going west from the centre lane. The video's have been cut to be place up on youtube site as it was over 30 minutes in each direction. You will have to visit the video and photo page to get the link to these video's. The video's are also on my site, but will take longer to download.

Also in 2009, I did a number of walking tour of Sheppard Ave East from Highway 404 to Meadowvale Road shooting every intersection, bridges, side streets, bus stops as well a number of other things. I plan on doing the same thing after construction is done to do a comparison as before and after shots. I will be doing photo shoots of the construction, but not as much as I did on St Clair Ave as this project is outside my normal trip pattern and a longer trip from Mississauga to get to.

Click on the pages link above to see what Sheppard looks like today. Page 1 will have video's only shot May 31, 2009.

I have put only 20 thumbnail with links to the full size of 3264 x 2448 on each page. All major intersections were shot in 3 direction from each corner as well of the centre of each road in both direction for a total of 16 shots on average. The same thing took place at side streets.

Pages 2-10 were shot on Oct 14 from GO to McCowan Rd.

Pages 10- were shot on 2009, from Victoria Park to.
