West Toronto Diamond Construction
Under the GO Transit Rail Improvement Program, construction is underway to grade separate the West Toronto Diamond on the Georgetown line. Although planned, approved and funded separately from the Georgetown South Expansion (see below), it falls within the same corridor and was seen as a necessary precursor project. Owing to recent construction delays, construction at West Toronto Diamond and the broader Georgetown South Expansion will now dovetail into one another.

Famous quotes containing the words west, diamond and/or construction:
“For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“I met Jack Kennedy in November, 1946.... We went out on a double date and it turned out to be a fair evening for me. I seduced a girl who would have been bored by a diamond as big as the Ritz.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
