From SSP:

Video from yesterday morning approaching Lougheed Station. Apologies for the quality, I swear the train window had never been washed


I also took some photos of the station construction:

The mall-side west entrance.

The platform-level glass from behind. (That support pad for the original roof design looks so out of place :yuck

The west side platform entrance area.

The new down-escalator being installed to service the existing platforms in the west station house.

The west side platform entrance area, from the existing platform.

Designated side walkways being installed on the new outbound guideway.

Not nearly as much progress on the east station house.

This is what the Hurontario LRT should look like in Mississauga. Even the Eglinton LRT above ground portions. No need for on street LRT in these locations.

Yikes, second sinkhole has appeared. I'd be a bit concerned if I lived in that area...

Ahh, you're right... it's where it does that weird Y-split thing for the PoCo spur:

This is the PoCo stub track:

The track in that area does a weird splitting thing, which will probably make even less sense as an ASCII diagram, but why not:
