For a big development like this, I wonder if it would be realistic to just bury all car infrastructure underground. Something like one big parking garage below grade with access to all the buildings and lanes for local traffic / deliveries / emergency vehicles instead of open air roads. Then all...

It should just be fully elevated at this point and go over the rail corridor instead of Queen. Oh and make it a monorail!

I get that it doesn't stop at Dundas West but the drawings really makes it look like it's taking some kind of shortcut new rail line through high park, Swansea and Sunnylea

Hahah they drew the Milton GO line south of line 2 between dundas west and kipling.

Right, didn't realize the terminal is actually the existing exhibition station as opposed to a new ontario place station further south. That makes a lot more sense.

Looking at the map, liberty village, CAMH are more than a kilometer away from Bathurst. Then you have anything on Dufferin, Parkdale, Roncesvale, St Joseph, all innaccessible.

Haha Ontario place... Doug Ford only think of transit as a disneyland ride not of an actual transportation method that people use to go from their homes to their work daily. Hence the monorail / ferris wheel / casino / tourist ride inspiration for every transit project he comes up with. King...

Well if relief line west is built to Roncesvale then Queen / Dufferin and King / Dufferin will be subway accessible. Then Bloor / Dufferin is also subway accessible. Eglinton will have the LRT and everything north of Eglinton is close enough to the university line. That only really leaves...

It's not because Yonge south of bloor is full that we should build another line on church street. You can still provide relief to the university line even if the DRL goes north further west than Dufferin. Dufferin can still be considered too close to university. I agree that the Queensway...

DRL west has to hit the Queen/King/Roncesvales/Queensway intersection. Perfect place for a sunnyside transit hub with lakeshore west GO, lakeshore west/queensway LRT, Queen streetcars, King streetcars and DRL converging together. There is also a streecar maintenance facility already owned by TTC...

Someone should convince Doug Ford to build relief line west all the way to Roncesvallles instead of Waterfront West LRT since he likes subways so much. Just add a GO, streetcar and relief line hub there and that should resolve the HBS situation.

Apparently the application for this site has been withdrawn. Not sure what it means but hopefully this site doesn't stay vacant for a while similarly to the On the GO Mimico site.

It thought the waterfront LRT planning was reset how could there be shovels in the ground soon? They should just build the relief line all the way to Queen and Roncesvalles and build a transit hub there with streetcar / GO / DRL
