Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

[AlvinofDiaspar]

1. Murray plan
2. Ford LRT to Eglinton plan

Both of these plans were far better than both the current SLRT and one stop subway plans

True, though LRT to Eglinton isn't likely going to happen given the advanced stage of ECLRT - there is still time for 1 though, and how will 2 pass the "is it subway" muster (remember the Ford MOU predicated - however unrealistically Sheppard extension on the city's dime since all the provincial money was spent on tunneling the portion of ECLRT between Don Mills and Kennedy)

Its getting built as now the Liberals have to save face after being called out. And Brown just made a clear promise here. It wont be a one-stop when this all shakes out.

Patrick Brown FTW. All will be right in Ontario

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

The phrase deserved is being used again and again - but just what is the "subway that one deserves"? This is a really cringy phrase that should be avoided like the plague.

I look forward to him pulling another Sheppard Subway.

I look forward to him completing the Sheppard subway.

It's an absolute shame that all three provincial parties support the Scarborough extension.

If I'm the Ontario NDP, wouldn't it make political sense to scrap the Scarborough subway extension and say that the DRL will be the main subway priority and it will be built ASAP? By my count, 10 provincial ridings (following the new 2018 boundaries) would be directly impacted by the DRL, compared to 4 (5 at best) for the Scarborough subway extension.

And I look forward to him printing money on trees.

I have no problem with supporting some form of subway expansion - I have every problem with supporting the current form of it on the premise of "deserve".

He's right. LRT fans will be excited until election time, but this is about to take another turn if Tory loses control. Smarttrack is about to be called out.

The SCC station isn't even at the mall, but at McCowan station so you'd have to walk or take a bus to the mall

They'd build a walkway. No different than what Yorkdale and the Yonge Eglinton Centre have.

why? if the cost is reasonable. There isn't much left to tunnel between Downsview and the tail tracks of Sheppard.

I'd like him to add lawrence to the plan. Then when they run out of money half way to STC one city will at least be able to get to a Dr to fix those voices in his head which keeps telling him he deserves something

The bridge east of Bathurst would have to be torn down and rebuilt.

It may not be that far, but it certainly isn't that close. Probably cost more than EBF LRT?
