3)A surface subway - Makes far more sense than a surface LRT if we are shutting down the RT. Atleast give Scarborough Center a better future

York region is starting a media marketing campaign for the Richmond Hill subway to control the message of the average Joe and pressure Politicians. The exact opposite of how Toronto markets Scarborough...

I get what you are saying. It's the right thing to do instead of LRT. If those are the only options. But ridership really isnt he issue with the SRT. Aside from people refusing to use it. Route alignment (which obviously wont be improved with the current subway plan as no stop will be added)...

Which is why the Sheppard LRT transfer is an epic embarrassment in transit design. But it's OK to build without considering fair integration & convenience because It's only Scarborough..

I get what you are saying with the nightmare a shutdown will cause. But I just thought id point out there is no savings between the LRT and subway as a technology. The savings came from taking the easy, & cheapest way out of not having to do a bit more design to add adding new concrete...

The great shame is these polarized reporters and transit "advocates" could give a crap about integrating Scarborough. Again its one stop SSE vs transfer LRT. Nothing else to help this matter move forward. These articles offer nothing good at this point and clearly these people refuse to get...

The article just shows an update that the subway is clearly expensive going fully underground and gives an update to those calling for the rebirth of the transfer LRT are likely facing similar costs. To me the bigger problem would be the Political fall out which would ensue if that decision was...

r There are so many sayings I could respond back. But ill take high road. Ok higher road Where did I say I didn't support the DRL? I responded to a comment recommending Scarborough citizens pay for their fair integration to North York and Toronto's main transit infrastructure. If we are...

You can be the most articulate writer in the land be if you cant advocate for an integrated plan and just keep repeating the benefits of Transfer City than your just part of the problem. I may not be very eloquent myself but like many others out here im beyond upset at the out of touch, one...

I made it! Couldn't do it without the long bus ride to the RT today, and packed screeching shuttle to Kennedy station before losing reception. Just want to give a shout out to the commuters in Scarborough grinding it out each day. Truly an honour to transfer my way just to step foot into the...

Agreed and its why we have Tory to compromise. You know that divisive Mayor as Metroland claims. Hard to have a healthy debate with the Political mudslinging from both sides.

Thanks for the cool aside my fellow City neighbor. Those spoiled, rich Scarberians always up to something huh. They think they can have it all.

Sure and we can ask the residents around the DRL how much they want to pay as well. Oh I forgot the narrative were suppose to believe is that the DRL is God's gift to Scarborough so we should just be grateful. First of all the Fed and Province are paying for most of this project. So...

I know it's not an option. Which is why Im wondering why I read about it every other day in the MEDIA? Even in the Star's tongue and cheek column about accepting the subway it still mentioned it. Now Metro is attacking Tory this morning as being divisive on this debate because the spoiled...

Both sides actually. The denial is real. Donkey's on one side repeat: Transfers to short stubways are great designs.... Hee Haw Hee Haw Transfers located one stop ahead of a planned "Growth Center" is a great design... Hee Haw Hee Haw Just for you I wouldn't leave out the Donkeys on the other...

Where did I say anything about anti-Scarborough sentiment with the streetcar? I just stated a fact that it ends at Scarborough's border. As I was explaining why Etobicoke isn't as pissed as Scarborough when it come to lack of transit since some of you think it a good comparable. Only certain...

While large areas of Etobicoke (mostly to the north) have been neglected. And I would advocate for the areas left out any day. For the most part they have a subway line that almost reaches the border a Kipling. Scarborough is much larger and even the SSE wont come close to the border but...

I don't see any way the SLRT is ever even considered. It had its chance & is dead as dead can be Politically. But that certainly doesn't mean another plan with some common sense cant be developed. The Sheppard LRT and it's big transfer wart has new life thanks to the Crosstown extension...

We'll call It "Genius-track" and have someone campaign on it next election. Although a plan like this would have to come from someone near the middle like Tory himself. The Left has been unbreakable with the DRL & a transfer laden LRT plan for the suburbs while "Ford" seems almost unbreakable...

We'd be moving forward if it wasn't for the City's Transit rich Party's "my way or the highway" stance towards any other option outside of Segregated City. When you keep your heads in the sand and refuse to listen to the people outside of your own area and refuse to work together for a...
