You right we all have transit issues in this City. Mine is insanity with multiple modes but lets not get into that debate. Im sure its sucks on your end too. You've also changed the topic from stop equity back to revenue. But since you went here... lets go. Tory is hinting he is going at...

As someone with a grueling long as commute I can see the case for less stops but I also see a benefit to the 5-10K per who would have a line running by . My issue with this model some are trying to create is the same should be applied to the existing network and we should stop maintaining these...

The SRT line is a complete POS most avoid unless you have to. Along with the crap technology & route its stop locations are absurd. Its not even a comparable whatsoever. Build subway stops at Midland, Lawrence & Ellesmere in locations which are not constructed in an industrial wasteland rail...

Its not just about density along the route well atleast was never an issue before. If we are going to have this discussion lets open it right up to start removing current stops to increase speed. Many of the stops whether its 10K or 30k per day down the road provide better convince and...

Yes as well as no real geographical bias & seamless runs with transfers only at crossings. +1 for the ruling "Communist" Elites of China for such fine work

There's a strong push for transit in many areas. Its far overdue all over the map. There's no reason to pit areas against each others once again. Bottom line if we are serious about building a public transit network in this City we need to be serious about funding for all these projects...

I want to see the Malvern LRT before Sheppard as much as you. Something good will be built on Sheppard no matter what. That's a given. Malvern (Town Center area) itself is an easy screw job target by Politicians. UTSC has a bit of Political pull & some politics behind the tuition going...

McGuinty was up to his sly Political tricks back then cutting back a line that already created and extra inconvenient transfer to the subway stub & affected commutes West of McCowan. He (Metrolinx) also dropped the SMLRT off the "Next Wave". So no hope at all for 100 years basically under...

You would certainly see alot of support for LRT on Sheppard if was part of an extensive FUNDED local network. Those who oppose the transfer to the Stub would be drown out by the majority. And certainly with SCC connecting to the BD Line I see no reason not to support this. Even more so if...

Technology is not the issue its how you integrate it to what currently exist in this City. The previous design was far from a "superior" solution. The SELRT option is never coming back to the table unless we want transit Holy war down the road in this City. Rob Ford was its only hope and...

Cheers. Well said The divisive Politics needs to stop. Tory has withstood the Anti Suburb Left media flurry attack with poise. I truly look forward to seeing taxes raised and watching him withstand the City's Right media fury that will surely ensue. If Tory does that and continues to lobby...

The alternate routes is what council just approved to study. No real change if they add Lawrence is a surface route option is approved. The Sheppard stop will only come funded from the Liberals if they really want the Rouge river riding in the bi-election. Otherwise if they don't we'll likely...

If above ground becomes an option it could open up the discussion for a Lawrence Station. By no means is the latest plan set in stone. It was just a concept to be within budget and get the project approved by council to move forward. The design will likely change drastically due to the known...

Agreed. The LRT will make or break this area in the future. The Developer has a few projects in the area of Highland Creek & West Rouge. They currently have semi-detached homes on the market for $1 to 1.2 million nearby. Not a huge fan of what they've done in their previous projects tbh...

Delayed certainly. All projects are and given the design stage of course. But to say this specific project with exhausted and strong support from all 3 levels of Gov't wont be built? That is extremely hard to believe. I would not want to see how ugly our Municipal Politics would be if that...

Oh it's clear what the transit "haves" are not happy about. But Its the cost of building the foundation of an equitable City transit network based on existing infrastructure. And you just cant dig up enough minority special interest groups or citizen support out here in Scarborough to care for...

And Matlow and Miller were & continue to be clueless about integration. Period. They like to throw out "intelligent" numbers. Unfortunately those number are only legitimate to those that pretend the current Subway system doesn't exist. The main City system which has been a key driver to...

So if we wanted to continue a terribly designed dis-jointed RT line then Mark III would be a good option for a replacement. Thankfully we're not.

Trust me they have questioned. Over and over and over and over. Especially those Politicians in current subway ridings. Hopefully we are done. Scarborough is just expected to pretend that these type of projects have not gone on in every other main areas of the City in the past. Its too...

Maybe we give Vancouver its own thread? Similar technology, not similar circumstances The cost of building the subway is the cost of connecting its largest suburban Centre to the same infrastructure TORONTO built to other main core and similar suburban Centres. The cost is what it is. This...
