Scarborough is larger than North York. But lets just call them fairly equal in mass. Population wise North York has much more potential due to the developments along their extensive & well integrated transit corridors. This Scarborough subway really isnt the "disaster" its being made out to...

QUOTE="denfromoakvillemilton, post: 1157040, member: 1817"]Largest suburb is North York. Really? The high quality transit will certainly help North York pull away in population growth. 187 km squared - Scarborough 625,698 (2011) 176.9 km squared - North York 655,913 (2011) 123.9 km squared...

Even in the quietest days of SSE planning and their most mild articles the same old Political narrative bias remains. Setting the stage: "Scarborough is no worse than most post-war North American suburbs and better than many, largely thanks to Metropolitan Toronto’s growth planning efforts"...

Here we go again. Please let the moderators do the moderating. Im discussing related topics which impact the line and again you choose to discuss me. Its quite on topic and ill continue to post as the Politics and their media is one of the most important topics related to the future of this...

The City's Left media is out today with another stir the divisive pot standard subtle bias article. Nothing about LRT transfer location and integration, nothing about McGuinty chopping Funds and dropping the SMLRT, nothing about the past Subway plans, nothing about connecting to what exists...

So are you saying hinting we should have been designing Skytrain DRL's not just a subway DRL?

The POS RT is what happened

We agree on most of this. The Geographic Center is not the Economic Center and where we disagree is what is the most effective way to connect to these Centers. The SSE & Eglinton Crosstown is much more appealing to commuters and business. Add a Sheppard subway loop, a Malvern LRT extension...

Complete utter nonsense. Ask yourself why would a developer build at SCC right now? No one knows where the transit is going to be built or the quality. Developers are all holding tight on to the parcels of land for this charade to end. And none of them want to market around the RT in its...

Thats not what I implied. Employers will be more apt to use Scarborough as a "satellite hub" with ease to move employees to and from. It will be much more attractive for commuters, & therefore developers to get to and from the core. And therefore will build a more attractive base for...

Of course im thinking downtown... It's the main economic and entertainment core of the City and the subway is the main City transit backbone that feeds into it. For SCC to have the greatest success as a satellite growth node and be a more desirable locale would be seamlessly connect to...

Those lines are unreasonable comparables. The streetcar lines are more like our Ellesmere BRT or Eglinton LRT will be in the future which run as feed routes across the main artery. The subway can hopefully be built cheaper on the surface. And yes it worth very penny to connect Scarborough...

I prefer to see growth thats far overdue done together to build a healthy City with no divisive "feed the beast" & "starve the least" mentality. The RT is a segregated, poorly designed line that had its time. The lack of DRL funding battle went hard to find savings in Scarborough and that has...

The Star makes no mention of it, just their usually condescending rhetoric.... But fingers are crossed as this Consultantant would have been clearly asked to review surface options along the RT right of way. You have to laugh that the we need a guided 3rd party "expert" to step over the...

Move to North York or Vaughan. In all seriousness I don't agree with your "if" statement as being probable unless there is Political destruction going on behinds the scenes. Which I highly doubt. There is a 3rd party consultant currently retained to review alternate routes right now. Ill...

The Star has attacked enough to know their clear motive. There's a point when we have to realize the cost to build a proper network and fund it and stop trying to patch in Scarborough. Do we need another election to get the same answer? Connect Scarborough with reasonably integrated design...

The Market cycle will burst and then it will recover soon after... Rinse and repeat. Halting long term plans over market conditions is not reasonable. Although im sure the Star is salivating to attack over this type of event. People really need to stop attacking the Scarborough subway as the...

Don't see the big deal. Id rather have another set of eyes or some to liase and direct around the station when there are issues. In any event start digging a tunnel for that one driver to come thru Scarborough

Toronto is not like London nor is it even comparable as major Tourist destination to that can afford to act like a Diva. Its needs to keep itself more accepting to outsiders and as accessible as possible. In London outside the core commuters have many more commuting options. MANY more. Like I...

Be careful. Office business has been setting up office along the QEW at a decent rate and tolling these commuters only adds incentive and desire to have more office buildings elsewhere in the GTA. Downtown Toronto will always be #1 but we should still be making it easier for people to come and...
